MY JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE DREAMCAST




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.

Gritty and Emo: How Batman killed the DC universe

    batman-v-superman-affleck-cavill
      Warning: This Post is entirely opinion based. If your a Batman fan, don't bitch about what's on this post. It's my opinion, not yours. 

If you're like me, then you probably saw Avengers: Age of Ultron this weekend. And if your even more like me, then you probably loved it. Oh, god I love the Marvel Universe! The movies there are an even blend of action and comedy. Now, let's look at their main competition, DC Comics. aside from the gritty, emo and all that pancake make up Margot Robbie is wearing, I see whole lot of nothin', and that's a real problem. Remember in 1978, when Superman, the grand-pappy of all superheroes got a movie? it was fun action packed and a million other things. Now, seeing how one DC superhero became a movie star, what would DC comics do? take another DC superhero and give him his own movie. I am of course talking about Batman. You know, that Dumb Adam West superhero with shark repellent and dressed like a tiny flying mammal? Superman had all these cool powers, how could this loser be taken seriously? Well, in 1989, the impossible happened. DC turned Batman from a lame wierdo of questionable sexuality, into a dark, brooding seeker of justice. The film was directed by then newcomer Tim Burton, and it showed a side of superhero movies that we haven't really seen before. Darkness.
     Then after that, people became obsessed with this new dark, gritty version of superheroes. This led Batman to become as popular as Superman himself, and in the coming years, probably even more popular. And that's where this Superman Batman feud began. Some people were like "Oh, Batman is so awesome because he's gritty! Superman is lame because he's happy with his life!"  and others were like "Batman is gay and emo. He always has been. #SonofKrypton" Superman and Batman fans have been on each other for years, and It's not going to stop anytime soon. Anyways, since Batman was so popular, DC comics closed all their shades, and became dark. They wanted everything to be dark and scary...Like Katie Holmes' marriage to Tom Cruise.
     Fast forward one year after The dark knight rises, we have Man of Steel, DC's lame attempt at making Superman more like Batman. And that's the problem. Superman isn't Batman. He's not dark or emo. He's happy, and I hated Man of Steel for taking away that happy, boy scout Superman, and replacing him with Jesus allegory. lots of Jesus allegory.
     After I saw Man of Steel, I hope it wouldn't get a C-quel. But when I looked at IMDB, the first thing I saw was "Man of Steel 2" I wanted to kill myself. But hey, this could be an opportunity to redeem the terrible first movie. I became pretty optimistic, until I found out who Superman's Co-star would be. who's Moapy and Emo? Who dresses like a big gay bat when fighting crime? Who's always dragging his friend/Foster son/boyfriend/whatever into crime fighting? None other than the Holden Caulfield of superheroes, Batman. At this point, I'm like "Really, DC?" and "Take a break, Bats! You Emo Attention Whore!" It hasn't even been seven years since his movie franchise ended, and DC want to inject him into Superman's movie frachise? Sellouts!
     Then Later on, I found out that Wonder Woman and Aquaman are going to be in it, and then I realized it. This isn't Man of Steel 2, It's a Justice League Prequel. An ugly, gritty prequel to a line of movies that will only exist to be the bizarro Marvel Cinematic Universe. Where Marvel movies are fun, likable and advertises their Characters equally, DC movies are Emo, dark, depressing and made for Batman fans to Masturbate to. I don't care how many people like Dark and Gritty Superheroes, All I can say is that I am not going to see Batman V. Superman. No force on earth can get me to see it! Why? because of Batman! I'm not saying I hate Batman, but I am blaming him for turning the DC universe into the inside of Edgar Allen Poe's head.
