Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.

Greg Berlanti [Notable Works {As A Producer}: The Flash {T.V. Series}, Arrow, Green Lantern]: Greg Berlanti is a dedicated and is wonderful at this job. He's a great actor and does put his heart in all his works. He's brought us Flash and Arrow to small screens and I think he's ready for a big time game.

Benjamin Melniker [Notable Works: Batman, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]: Ben is a great producer. He is almost like Michael Uslan, he does pretty much anything with Batman's name on it or in it, and he is a big part of what would be Justice League.

He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.

Charles Roven [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman]: Charles is another dominant force in the fate of the DC Movie Universe. And he's really kept his faith in the genre and is really as good for the genre to get more Comic Book Films made.


Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Geoff Johns [Notable Works {As A Producer}: The Flash {T.V. Series}, Green Lantern, Justice League Flashpoint Paradox]: Geoff has been actively pushing Warner Brother's to bring DC characters to life. Personally he should be the Kevin Fiege of the DCCU. He's got the heart and would definitely get the job done given the chance.


Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Michael E Uslan [Notable Works: Batman, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]: He's obviously a huge Batman fan, and it feels illogical to imagine a Batman theatrical project without him. He's Batman's most staunch supporter.


Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Larry Franco [Notable Works: Batman Begins, Escape From New York, Big Trouble In Little China]: Larry is one of my favorite Producers. He has been behind some of my all time favorite movies, including Big Trouble In Little China. He also produced Batman Begins which gives him appropriate grounds for this.


Film Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.

Eric Zumbrunnen [Notable Works: John Carter, Her, Being John Malkovich]: As an Editor he has a really really tough job. He's got to put the movie together like a puzzle, and if he screws up in the slightest it shows and reflects back on him. He did such an amazing job with John Carter, setting the tone, getting the comical beats, showing the emotional turmoil on screen.


Director of Photography: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.

Ericson Core [Notable Works: The Fast and Furious, Daredevil, Invincible]: It is an odd choice, no one probably remembers Ericson. But I do, he's a great D.P. And honestly I loved his visual work in Daredevil, it got an arena of grit and grime to it, and then you have work like Invincible which took the feeling of other great Classic Disney's movies. He is a wonderful D.P. Would be perfect on this project.


Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.

Alex McDowell [Notable Works: Minority Report, Watchmen, Man of Steel]: His work with the futuristic settings, urban environment and changing landscapes. His work in Man of Steel really set Metropolis apart from every other city in North America, his work on Krypton really brought it to a life on it's own. His work with the Setting of Apokolips could be Iconic.


Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.

Jim Lee [Notable Works {As A Costume Designer}: DC Comics: New 52, Watchmen {Uncredited}]: He designed a major amount of the reboot Costumes, all Justice League Involved ones and a number of the monthly books. He has done some uncredited work on Watchmen so he's a bit familiar with film. He is certainly the right guy to design these outfits for a theatrical release.


Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

Michael Giacchino [Notable Works: John Carter, Star Trek Into Darkness, Speed Racer]: Not in any way shape or form is this choice, by any stretch of anyone's imagination, an original idea or choice for a composer of a Justice League Movie, Obviously many other people will agree. Giacchino's work speaks for itself. It's a wonderful discography that proves he can hit all the notes needed for a Justice League Film.


Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

Travis Beacham [Notable Works: Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans, Killing on Carnival Row] & Geoff Johns [Notable Works {As Screen/T.V. Writer}: The Flash {Teleplay}, Arrow {Teleplay}, Smallville {Teleplay}]: With Travis work in the heavy actioned sci-fi/kaiju movie Pacific Rim and did a wonderful job crafting a "fan-gasming" script. That added with Geoff Johns who's done the best episodes of Smallville, Co-Penning The Flash's appearance in Arrow and his own Pilot, it could certainly work as match made in heaven for a Justice League movie. We get fun and interesting action via Beacham and deep and interwoven story by Johns that together could really enhance a lot of the emotional spectrum and story that the comic book lacked to create something deeper and more than just a simple Avengers Clone.


Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.

Matt Reeves [Notable Works: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Cloverfield, Let Me In]: Matt is a strong director and has done an amazing job balancing high octane action and deep character interactions and wonderful life altering stories. His work on Apes has shown to be a wonderful sequel.


Hal Jordan [Height: 6', Age: Early 30's]: Hal Jordan is the greatest Green Lantern, an inter-galactic police officer and member of the Green Lantern Corps, chosen by the Guardians of the Universe for his ability to overcome great fear. The strength of his willpower allows him to wield the universe's mightiest weapon, a power ring controlled by his thoughts. In his secret identity he is a test pilot working for Ferris Aircraft where his boss Carol Ferris is also his romantic interest.

Taylor Kitsch [Height: 6', Age: 34, Notable Works: Friday Night Lights {T.V. Series, Series Regular} Battleship, John Carter]: He was perfect in John Carter, and he helped make Battleship bearable. Casting Taylor is in one way drawing on great performances, but in another taking a huge risk. But perfect characterization I would easily cast him as Hal, I like Pine for it, but I honestly believe Kitsch would do the role 100 times better than Pine ever could. To help him prepare I'd send him to an Air Force Training Camp and Pilot school.


Bruce Wayne/The Batman [Height: 6’2”, Age: 30’s]: Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his secret identity he is Bruce Wayne, billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy. Although he has no superhuman powers, he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. He is also a founding member of the Justice League and the Outsiders.

Liam Mcintyre [Height: 6’2”, Age: 32, Notable Works: Spartacus: Vengeance, Ektopos, Legend of Hercules]: He’s an actor who’s handsome, but looks like he’s gotten into a few scuffles. But the biggest reason I cast him, despite his talent in front of the camera, is the intensity he can display in his eyes, the amount of seriousness they give off, and the way you can look at them and think “oh crap, he’s angry!” Liam just has a way about his eyes that just gives off all the right messages about Batman. He’s got great physicality, great looks, talent. He’s had fight training {for Spartacus}, and he’s got great onscreen presence. No doubt this is the guy who should be the next Live Action Batman regardless.


Victor Stone/Cyborg [Height: 6' 6" {Cybernetic Implants}, Age: Late Teens]: A young football star, son of S.T.A.R. Lab's key scientist Silas Stone, who is after an explosion created by the Motherbox is transformed by his father, desperate to keep him alive.

Tristan Wilds [Height: 5' 11", Age: 25/26, Notable Works: Red Tails, 90210, The Wire]: He's a cool kid. He's a great young actor who many might remember for being on the Wire. He has grown and advanced as an actor, while not doing more serious and artistically deep works, he does work on good projects and shows he still a good actor. He would bring the Humor to Cyborg while also taking the characters serious moments to heart.


Clark Kent/Superman [Height: 6' 3", Age: 30's]: Rocketed away from The Dying Planet Krypton, the young Kal-El was found by the kindly Kents. They raised him well, with good moral values that Lead him to a path where he used his powers for good. He Became Superman!

Charlie Hunnam [Height: 6' 1", Age; 34, Notable Works: Sons Of Anarchy, Pacific Rim, Green Street Hooligans]: Charlie is a strong actor. He does a lot of big projects and is often critically praised. He has a strong sensibility but his voice isn't exactly as strong. I think with a little work he would actually get the grip and really play a strong and dependable Superman.


Barry Allen/The Flash [Height: 6' 0", Age: 30's]: Barry Allen is The Flash, the fastest man alive. Using his super-speed powers, he taps into the Speed Force and becomes a costumed crime-fighter. He is a founding member of the Justice League.

Scott Eastwood [Height: N/A, Age: 28, Notable Works: Fury, Gran Torino, Texas Chainsaw 3D]: I like Scott a lot. I think he's certainly a decent actor and I think he could nail the Type of Flash we saw in Justice League Origin. He's a great actor and I think he would be an amazing person to take on this role.


Wonder Woman (Height: 6' Age: 20's-30's): Princes of Themyscara, living in New York as Diana Prince she is also one of Earth's many Protectors Wonder Woman. She has been monitored by Steve Trevor, she is interested in attempting a diplomatic union between Themyscara and The World.

Alexa Davalos [Height: 5' 8", Age: 32, Notable Works: Angel {T.V. Series Seasons 2002-2003 Episodes: Ground State, Long Day's Running, Players}, The Chronicles of Riddick, Defiance]: I have wanted Alexa as Wonder Woman since i first got interested in the character. I Like Alexa as an actress I see her as having a lot of the stronger features that makes her a great choice for Wonder Woman. As far as films are concerned i think she would be perfect shes currently a young 31-32 so she's young enough to franchise for about 6 movies so you can do 3 Wonder Woman and 3 Justice League. I cast her as this Wonder Woman because I think she feels as young as I could imagine the character being.


Arthur Curry/Orin/Aquaman [Height: 6' 1", Age: 20's-30's]: Aquaman, also known as Arthur Curry and Orin, is a superhero and the ruler of the seas. As the king of Atlantis and other undersea territories, he technically controls most of the planet. His abilities include super-strength, durability, super-speed, staying underwater indefinitely, and telepathy, which he uses to communicate with sea-life. His aquatic nature means he requires water regularly at the risk of dehydration, although he is perfectly capable of staying on land for extended periods.

Jai Courtney [Height: 6' 1", Age: 27, Notable Works: Spartacus, All Saints, A Good Day To Die Hard]: The guy is a solid actor, and looks dead like Ivan Riess’s Aquaman. He really is a good actor though, his performance in All Saints and Spartacus show he’s got some natural talent as an actor. It was pretty easy to go with him as Aquaman just from his Spartacus work. He’s got the right age to carry a trilogy, height and look of the character, this guy has what it takes.


Silas Stone [Height: N/A, Age: 40's-50's]: Brilliant S.T.A.R. Labs Scientist Responsible for his Sons' transformation into Cyborg, he had never had any interest in sports and was Disappointed for his son for playing Sports.

Terence Howard [Height: 6' 0", Age: 45, Notable Works: Iron Man, Red Tails, Prisoners]: Terence is a great actor, He does wonderful work and I am kinda bummed he never got to be War Machine. I think he would be an amazing choice for Silas Stone. He's got a sense of responsibility. I think it helps that he has work with Tristan Wilds, who is my Cyborg choice. It would be easy to see the chemistry.


Steve Trevor [Height: 6' 1", Age: 20's-30's]: USAF Soldier who crashed on Paradise Island and met Diana of Themyscara. Bringing her back as an escort to watch over her while she attempts of mission of peace. He is promoted to ARGUS, and given a Col. Rank to watch over Wonder Woman and monitor Justice League Activity.

Mike Vogel [Height: 5' 10", Age: 35, Notable Works: Bates Motel, Cloverfield, Under The Dome]: I like Mike as an actor. He's fun and enjoyable to see onscreen and would certainly rock a role like this. He could have charm and seriousness to play Steve Trevor.


Parademon [Height: N/A, Age: N/A]: Shock troops for Darkseid, created by taking other aliens and using Apokoliptan technology to transform them into the loyal Parademons.

Derek Mears [Height: 6' 5", Age: 42, Notable Works: Friday The 13th, Predators, Zathura]: Parademons are looming monster, Derek has built a career playing such monsters. He is a great body performer he would be perfect.


Steppenwolf [Height: 6' 0", Age: N/A]: Key general to Darkseid's army, who assists the Parademons in the Earth Invasion.

Viggo Mortensen [5' 11", Age: 56, Notable Works: The Lord of the Rings {Trilogy}, The Road, Apppaloosa]: Viggo is a fun actor and I get the sense he want to do more fun and enjoyable films. He seems to be going less serious and dark and more fun and energetic movies. This might be a role made for him.


DeSaad [Height: 5' 11", Age: N/A]: Head torturer to Darkseid, a sadist at heart, and a maniac ever so loyal to Darkseid and his conquest.

Doug Bradley [Height: 5' 11", Age: 60, Notable Works: Hellraiser {Franchise}, Shame the Devil, Death House]: Who better to play a creature of Torture than Pinhead himself. He is an amazing and wonderful actor who could certainly take a wonderful spin on this role.


Darkseid [Height: 8' 9", Age: N/A]: Searching the Universe for his {Unidentified} Daughter, his search brings him to Earth where he becomes the first villain to Fight the Justice League forcing said heroes to unite.

Luke Evans [Height: 6' 0", Age: 35, Notable Works: Dracula Untold, Fast Five, The Hobbit {Trilogy}]: Luke is a solid actor, and with his oncoming performance as Dracula, I saw something that turned my ear and I took a look at some of his other works, both for commercial fun, and others for more artistic and deep performances that showed something to me that Just clicked, I would love to see his work as Darkseid. If he can make a tragic, interesting Dracula based off a real life maniac, I could only imagine at the Shakespearian monster he could unleash with Darkseid.

Cool cast, man!
I'm a little iffy on Humman as Supes, but other than that, great job!

Dude, AWESOME CAST!! You have a very original cast here, and I can totally see Charlie Hunna as Superman if he just dyed his hair. ANd I enjoy your Darkseid and Steppenwolf picks. You get a thumbs up from me.

A few are pretty unusual casting choices--such as Hunnam as Supes and Evans as Darkseid--but they do balance out your pretty fitting ones, like ol' Pinhead himself as Desaad. Though I'm not a New 52 guy, you did a fine job here!

When you have a minute, check out my Robotech fancast, which not only features Hunnam, but also utilizes a variation of your fancast format: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fan_fic/news/?a=103154

- I agree Geoff Johns should be the Kevin Feige of the DCCU.
- The director/composer of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes along with some of the writers of Flash and Smallvile make a great combo for a Justice League movie!
- I'm not sure if Taylor Kitsch would nail the kind of Green Lantern that I saw in JL: War, but he'd make a pretty interesting New Earth Green Lantern.
- I see Liam as Aquaman more than Batman. But hey, you're reasons for picking for Batman don't bother me none!
- Hope you get some love from The Wire fans for you using Michael Lee for Cyborg. I could definitely see it!
- Little iffy on Charlie Hunnam. Based on what I've seen from him, his voice doesn't scream Supes. But hey, you brought that up as well, so I'll let that slide. ;)
- Well, Alexa is Greek, and had fight training from what I heard. She could make a solid Wondy!
- Ho! Never knew Doug Bradley once played Pinhead! Great outside-the-box choice!
- Remember, folks, Luke Evans could voice Darkseid the way Hugo Weaving voiced Megatron: with the help of voice modulation. So yeah, I'm down with Evans as Darkseid!

Once again, another killer fancast. Keep it coming!

Nobody does a fan cast like Robert Garlen.

This is another solid one, despite my dislike for your Superman pick.
I like your WW choice, I actually chose Davalos for a fan cast I did before the BVSDOJ cast was chosen.
Love the Eastwood pick. I feel like we'll be seeing a lot of him very soon.
