I already know that a Justice League movie is being made, right after that Batman V Superman, which will be the death of me. But What if the Justice League movie was how I wanted it?And by that, I mean as far away from Zack Snyder and this shitty DC Cinematic Universe as possible. The actors would be totally different. Henry Cavill is not my Superman, so I would give him the Kryptonite boot. And I don't know who Ben Affleck is kidding. I would pick him up with my two hands, break his back with my knee, and throw him in the same grave I'm gonna bury Henry Cavill. And Gal Gadot? I don't even want to start on that one. If I was to cast the Justice League for a DC Cinematic Universe done right, Here'show it would look like, and here's how they would act like. Here's who I think should play the core Justice League members.
SUPERMAN: IAN HARDING
Henry Cavill's Superman is basically written as an all powerful god being to be worshiped or feared, and I do not like that. That's not Superman! That's how Batman fans see Superman! Why would Superman have an alter ego if he wanted to be worshiped? Because he doesn't! So in my Justice League movie, Kal-El would be far from Henry Cavill's Superman. He's not a god, he's not a Jesus allegory, he's not the guy who wants to be worshiped, he's the guy who helps those who can't defend themselves, because it's his responsibility. and that's why I chose Ian Harding. Ian is basically a softer version of Henry Cavill. He could either be the guy who flies through Metropolis, or the guy you'd see on the street. And every time I picture a live action Superman that isn't Christopher Reeve, I always end up seeing Ian for some reason. I used to not like him character on PLL (How dare you brake Aria's heart?!?!), but recently, I'm starting to like him more and more.
BATMAN: MATT BOMER
Batman is a tricky one. He's been done so many times, I can't even figure him out, but when you get to the core of Batman, he's a broken person seeking Justice he'll never resolve. He's basically reverse Superman. Superman was born from hope, and Batman was born from despair. If we're going for an older Batman, I'd choose Joel Edgerton, but if we're going for a younger Batman, I'd go with Matt Bomer. Matt Bomer would be a great Bruce Wayne. He definitely looks like it. Matt didn't get the role of Superman in Man Of Steel because he was gay, so let's give him the second best thing.
WONDER WOMAN: JAMIE ALEXANDER
Everybody wanted Jamie Alexander to play Wonder Woman, and so did I. I mean, just look at her! She looks like friggin Wonder Woman! And her role as Lady Sif in the Thor movies only made people want her to play Wonder Woman even more. I'm sure Gal Gadot will do her best as Wonder Woman, but let's face it. She does not look like Wonder Woman. She's far too skinny. She would make a better Lois Lane than a Wonder Woman.
GREEN LANTERN: MICHAEL B. JORDAN
I would've cast a Hal Jordan, but he burned up his luck with that awful 2011 movie. So I went with John Stewart, a fairly underrated Green Lantern (probably because he's black!) I picked Michael B. Jordan of Fantastic 4 fame. Michael l would make a great John Stewart because John is the tough, serious guy who'd make a good one-liner once in a while, and if you watched Friday Night Lights, that's exactly what he played.
AQUAMAN: ARMIE HAMMER
Aquaman, king of the seas, butt of every superhero joke, powerful sea sorcerer. Who should play him? Well, if things went my way, I would cast Armie Hammer. An actor who was on the rise to fame,,,until he starred in The Lone Ranger. Anyways, I would cast Armie Hammer because I don't care about Armie Hammer, and I also don't care about Aquaman. Who's next?
THE FLASH: RYAN GOSLING
For The Flash/Barry Allen, I chose Ryan Gosling. The Flash is both handsome, but weird and fast talking, and I've seen enough Ryan Gosling movies to see these traits. Originally, I chose Alex Pettyfer, but then I realized Alex was too bland to play a high spirited character like The Flash.
So that was the main Characters. But heroes are only as good as the people who support them. Let's take a look at the Heroes' supporting cast.
LOIS LANE: KATE MARA
Ah, Lois. The strong, independent Journalist(that always needs Superman to save her) As much as I love Amy Adams (Enchanted is my all time favorite movie of hers) her take on Superman's ally and love interest comes across as less Lois Lane, and more Mary Jane. She's only there to support Superman, and that's not Lois. Lois is a cynical character who only supports herself. So who should play her? Originally, for this part, I chose Ellen Page, but then I went back because I realized that she looks 14, so I pushed for someone who looked older, So my choice would be Kate Mara. Lois is a journalist known for being sassy, snarky and wanting things to go her way. Kate has played a headstrong reported on House of Cards, and a very sassy(albeit mentally unstable) character in American Horror Story. So Kate would make a great Lois Lane.
NIGHTWING: LOGAN LERMAN
Why Nightwing and not Robin? Because Nightwing is awesome, and Robin is, um...not so much. I mean, in a serious superhero movie, why would there be a child dressed as a Christmas Elf following Batman around? So I went with Nightwing, who is basically Robin who has had it with Batman's shit and became a bad-ass superhero. So who should play Nightwing? My choice is Logan Lerman. Logan has recently had a rise to fame, with movies like Fury and Perks Of Being A Wallflower. He'd make a perfect Nightwing because Nightwing is a very young Superhero. He had just recently ditched Batman and the "sidekick" title of Robin to be his own awesome superhero. So basically, a boy turning into a man. Logan's character in Fury is a very similar role. Now, I know he might be a little skinny for the role, but if Chris Pratt can go from a fat guy to a muscly guy, then Logan can go from string bean to Ripped guy who wears spandex so tight, you can see his luscious booty.
Now what would a hero be without a villain? A person in a ridiculous outfit. Here's the dreamcast villains for my Justice League
DOOMSDAY: ANDY SERKIS
In this age, Practical effects are nearly nonexistent. so if you're going to do CG, do it right. I'd cast doomsday as a mo-cap Andy Serkis, because there is no one better at mo-cap than Andy Serkis.
An arrival of a stranger, coming from far away for disaster. Batman, faith in humanity and inspired by Superman selfless act.
