Justice League
So, there is the persistent rumor of a Justice League movie in the works. Being the comic nerd I am, and having bought at least the last 10 years of JLA, I thought I'd try my hand at casting the film. I realize this is harder than it looks, but I like my choices. I also get to assemble my own JLA, which may or may not be the film roster. Blogger can't seem to format a table, which is like early 90's HTML, so bare with me.
 | Clark Kent/Kal El/Superman -Tom Welling. Why Tom wasn't Superman in the feature film, I'll never know. He's ready to put on the cape. |
 | Bruce Wayne/Batman - Christian Bale. The Best Batman EVER!!! Don't mess with perfection. |
 | Princess Diana of the Amazons/Wonder Woman - Alicia Coppola. Under utilized, beautiful, and has the right physique. She looks like she can really fight. |
 | Wally West/The Flash - Jerry O'Connell. Super-heroic, yet casual and funny. Jerry has been a hero too, in the 80's "My Secret identity". |
| Who knows what Green Lantern Warner Bros. will put on the big screen? I pick one of each. | |
 | Green Lantern/Kyle Rayner- Joe Flanigan. He just makes Stargate: Atlantis for me. The dark haired pretty boy/tough guy, Joe can do anguish, which is what makes Kyle tick. |
 | Green Lantern/John Stewart - Michael Dorn. John Stewart has a military background and tough exterior. Who better than the ultimate Klingon, Worf? |
 | Green Lantern/Hal Jordan - Eric Johnson. Currently starring as Flash Gordon on Sci/Fi. The lighter pretty boy/hot dog test pilot, Hal does not know fear. Cocky, even arrogant. Eric IS Hal. |
 | J'onn J'onzz/The Martian Manhunter - Christopher Judge. Yes, I am taking liberty with established ethnicity, but J'onn is a shape shifting Martian, green in his natural form. I think Chris played the benevolent alien to perfection as T'ealc on Stargate SG1. |
 | Shayera Hol/Hawk Girl - Lexa Doig. She played the embodiment of of the High Guard Battleship Andromeda Ascendant on Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. Hawk Girl can be a little less imposing than Wonder Woman, as her power comes from her wings. |
 | "Eel" O'Brien/Plastic Man - Scott Cohen. Can do the hero thing, but can be very silly, as when he played The Wolf in the mini series "The 10th Kingdom". Silly is Plastic Man's thing. I'd also take Jim Carey, but he's a bit old for the rest of the cast. |
 | Professor Ray Palmer/The Atom- Kyle McLauglin. Ray Palmer prefers academia over super heroic daring-do. Kyle has aged a bit since "Dune" and can probably do the cranky professor. |
Well, that's how I'd do it, anyway. Comments? Don't Care? Anyone?

And that's enough for now.

I'm not sure if I can agree or disagree......that was, uhm, interesting...LOL...I thought this was something that was really happening for a second......
To say it is happening is reckless, but to say the made a casting call is just reporting the facts.
Justice League casting call
So YOU are the other person besides me who saw The Tenth Kingdom! ( I liked it) Was that Jerry O'Connel guy the fat kid in Stand By Me?
Too Lazy to Google
Good casting call. I think you nailed all of them. The only substitute I'd give for wally is micheal rosenbaum with his actual hair. He did the voice for the JLU cartoon and I thought he nailed that pretty well. he's kind of skinny, but muscular enough to pull it off. On all the others, I would agree with every one of your choices.
I LOVED Scott in Kingdom! Nice casting preferences, I would make a couple changes (for instance, I would be discovered and cast as Wonder Woman) but would definitely enjoy this cast working together on screen. Here's hoping the real thing pans out great!
i agree 100% on the batman, superman, idk...but for flash i diagree. for flash i'd go for ryan reynolds. but evrything elseis great. hoping for a justice league movie. can't wait
