Whoo Hoo!!! Thank God!! I’m sooo glad this is not happening! I prefer Victoria Hill or maybe Kate Beckinsale for the part.

As for Tom Welling as Superman,that would be OK. I’m not that big a Smallville fan,but he is a pretty descent actor,so to me,if he’s cast as Superman,great,if not,I won’t shed a tear.

Now if they cast Ryan Gosling as Batman,not only will I cry,but I’ll probably get mad and throw things too.

Now,if they really are going to use the John Stewart GL in JLA instead of my (and mostly everyone else’s,hear that,WB?) #1 pic,the Hal Jordan Green Lantern,than that guy from Transformers,Tyrese Gibson,would make a great John Stewart. But,seriously,WB,wise up and use Hal instead. I know it would be asking too much for you guys to use Barry Allen as Flash AND Hal Jordan as GL,so I’ll only ask for one thing this Christmas.

Oh,and WB,I hear you guys are using Aquaman. Go with his classic look! Not the barbaric father-of-the-little-mermaid look from the 90’s.

KEL says:

“..than that guy from Transformers..” Sorry about the writing,guys. It should be THEN,not “than”.

…what is wrong with me today?

Screen Rant says:

You’re just too excited. It’s probably the picture. ;-)

Endri says:

I think that jessica simpson should play wonder women, Biel is just not hot enough, she is hot for hawk girl or maby zatana but not wonder women.

KEL says:

Let me just get something off my chest,just real quick about that Jessica Biel pic:

She’s HOT! Freakin’ HOT! Shmokin’! Fine! DAAAAANG! >wolf whistleLet me just get something off my chest,just real quick about that Jessica Biel pic:

She’s HOT! Freakin’ HOT! Shmokin’! Fine! DAAAAANG! >wolf whistle< Hot-Cha-Cha!! I’m happy she’s not playin’ WW,cuz her costume wouldn’t be small enough! MMM-Hmmm! HOT! SSSSSSSSSS!

There. I feel so much better now.

KEL says:

BTW,thanx for the pic,Vic. I saved it…heheheh.

She’s the only reason why I’m renting I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry when it’s released on DVD.

Screen Rant says:

Endri,

I’m sorry but I now think that you’re officially insane. :-)

Jessica Simpson?

Double yikes!!

Vic

KEL says:

Endri,I was biting my tongue trying not to say anything about that! Seriously,if she were the last woman on earth,I would not have her play WW.
Sure,she’s hot as hell,but she’s really,REALLY dumb. She didn’t know what tuna fish was,seriously.

Adrian says:

Beil is undoubtly HOT(sczzz), but I’ve said it before and I’ll say again, Blazing, supernova, HOT Nadia Bjorlin (from Redline) is still my pick for WW. Just google her guys, promise you’ll be a drooling and she’s a newby that can act(at least as well as Tom Welling).
Routh is still my pick for Sups and Will Smith, L.Fishburne, Ty Diggs or Morris Chestnut would do well as GL John Stewart. I believe Hal Jordon wouldn’t get fair screentime so let it be John Stewart for GL, make Hal Jordon the focus on GL movie#1. If Stewart were kill in this film, the fanboy out cry would be much lower than Hal or Ions.
Ryan Reynolds for Flash and replace Aquaman with the Martian Manhunter, just because the Martian is one of DC, best less known character that would work excellent on the silverscreen, plus he’s a founder of the JL. Aquaman would better made for a sequel underwater. My two cents folks.

Alcadyzaar says:

Maybe Endri meant Jessica ALBA…

Still, hrmm.. no.

Adrian, I agree on Nadia….
….BUT NOT on Routh as Supes. Ick.

I’m not saying Welling is the best choice, but I’d prefer him over Routh any day.

Definately like John as GL (Jordan just has too much of a story line, I think), as for actor, Tony Todd I think would do nicely.

Kick Aquaman out…. Keep J’onn J’onzz in….

Where in the heck did Ryan Gosling and Ryan Renolds come into play?? No…no…no…please GOD no…

KEL says:

Adrian,
Aquaman,in the original comix,was a founding memeber,along with Martian Manhunter,Hal GL,Barry Flash,and Wonder Woman.

Alcadyzaar,
They’re keeping Martian Manhunter,AND adding Aquaman as well.

I still want Hal.

Alcadyzaar says:

Don’t get me wrong… I liked Hal, but he was too much of an elitist.

If they went with the JLA vs. Parallax, then yeah, Hal would have to be there. LOL Remember, Hal in the end was like Anakin becoming Darth Vader.

Well, if they are keeping MM and adding Aquaman, then thats cool too.

Missy says:

Alana De La Garza would rock as Wonder Woman. Yummy

Screen Rant says:

Yeah, Alana would work… just exotic enough and not a little petite looking thing.

Vic

KEL says:

Alca,the story didn’t end with Hal becoming Parallax,Hal DID come back as a good guy (thanx to Kyle Rayner),and is now a GL again,matter of fact,he’s the GL in the current comix. So it’s not QUITE the same as the Anakin Skywalker’s turning to the dark side thing.

Endri says:

Who cares if she is dumb all I care about isthat she has greate tits better then Biel’s ofcourse’ Well in not Simpson but what about Erica Durance (not sure that is how her name is spealled but who cares right) if they whant to go with young superheroes that would be okay with me. PS if you saw the episode on smollville when she became a striper dresed in the all american girl costume, I thought she looked really hot.

Endri says:

OR

They could SELMA HAYAK as WW (I am just tosing ideas it’s not that you guys are coming with anything better. (again sorry fo the spelling)

Kane says:

Tooooootally disagree about Tom Welling, Vic!

Try telling the audience this is NOT a ‘Smallville’ movie with him in a lead role. It just begs waaaay too many continuity questions and I’d much prefer this to be either a stand alone flick OR in the current DC movie universe. If BOTH Brandon Routh and Christian Bale aren’t involved – and since both their cities are in geographically the same place in their recent films anyway – I’d just prefer ‘Justice League’ to be its own stand-alone film.

Endri says:

They should make the justice leage movie like Brian Singer did for x-men one. HE toled theyre origine, how they formed the groupe, and whay they fight for. then the badguys show up to take over the world they stop the villains and recreate the watch tower. Then if they make a seckon movie then they dont have to bother with the origines. They could do agreate JLA movie. (I am still whaiting for DARKSEID to make an appearence in the movie. I just whant to see how he turns out in live acion, and kicking SUPERMANS ass all over the galaxy)

Kane says:

Just as long as it’s not an actual step-by-step ‘origin story’. Isn’t everyone a little sick and tired of them by now?

I mean… c’mon… when we sit down to watch ‘The Departed’, we don’t expect to see how these guys became cops. Heck, when we sit down to watch ‘Friends’, we don’t want to spend hours finding out how they all met.

These superheroes are ingrained enough in pop culture by now that we can just cut to the chase. A plot involving some real conflict is far more interesting than a bunch of people congregating to say hi and discuss their goals.

Sure, throw in some references to the team’s origin… but get on with the important stuff and be creative about it.

ck says:

Lena Headey would be perfect

Screen Rant says:

Kane, yeah… good point on the origin aspect of these films. They just can’t seem to get away from that, but I think it’s because although we may know the backstory on many comic book characters, the average moviegoer may not.

Vic

Kane says:

True… but, then again, after a 7 year stretch of successful superhero blockbusters, the average moviegoer has likely seen enough to understand the basic premise of almost every hero and villain. Surely it’s become as much an unsaid filmic language as, say, the romantic comedy format.

I watched ‘Spider-Man 3′ again last week (don’t ask me why) and something that really struck me was why they felt it was necessary to show the ‘origin’ of Sandman. Why not just let the audience accept his existence as a powerful villain and have some throwaway line like ‘where do these guys come from?’ to express that it’s a little surreal.

Unless an origin is specifically rooted to plot dynamics, it shouldn’t be focused on in detail. Just as no one watches ‘Lord Of The Rings’ requiring an analysis of why elves aren’t short or how wizards become wizards, I’m sure almost anyone can sit through a superhero film and simply suspend disbelief enough to accept the characters’ powers. Otherwise, it shouldn’t take much more than some cleverly written dialogue to appease them.

I long for the days of cinema when story came first, above drawn out explanation. It was called the ’80s. Gremlins, ET… I miss you!
