So WARNERS/DC want a darker JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE, a JUSTICE
LEAGUE with a more serious bent and that is just fantastic with me!
I read this news and jumped for joy!
BATMAN was the very first comic book I started reading when I was a KID, So
BATMAN holds a special place in my heart! Then the very next comic book I
started reading was THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.
A JUSTICE LEAGUE movie should rival THE AVENGERS!
THE JUSTICE LEAGUE should be serious, with a real, credible feel to it!
I want all CBM'S to be like this! It really is horrible to see a studio
with a huge multimillion dollar budget and a big director make the kind of
crap like BATMAN & ROBIN, CATWOMAN, JONAH HEX, GREEN LANTERN to
name a few! Man, with that kind of money and crew they should be able to
do a movie like IRON MAN, BATMAN BEGINS, THE AVENGERS, etc., ALL THE
TIME! COME ON PEOPLE! I don't think I'm alone in this thinking, I'm pretty
sure everyone would agree with me!
There is no reason to have to do each individual JL member's solo movie
leading up to a JL film. These characters are far more world renowned than
THE AVENGERS. SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, FLASH etc. are quite
engraved in the public mind. A JL movie actually would work in reverse to
excite the mass movie-going public to go see the individual movies.
I don't see there being any MAGIC (ZATANNA) or GHOSTS (DEADMAN) in
this first JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE. There are credible scientific
explanations for SUPERMAN(Alien), WONDER WOMAN (historical ancient
Amazon), BATMAN (a highly-trained man with a high-tech suit & gadgets),
BLACK CANARY (a highly-trained woman with a vocal mutation), GREEN ARROW
(another man in high-tech suit who's extremely skilled with a bow & arrow,
whose arrows are high-tech), HAWKGIRL (Alien flying technology), HAWKMAN
(more alien flying tech), GREEN LANTERN (alien tech), FLASH (scientific
reason for gaining speed-powers) AQUAMAN (ancient ATLANTEAN with ancient
high-tech, whose people adapted to undersea life), CYBORG (high-tech
cybernetically-enhanced human), ATOM (gained shrinking ability
scientifically from a high-tech shrinking belt).
I believe that the corrupt ego-maniacal billionaire LEX LUTHOR, with his
corrupt criminal group, INJUSTICE UNLIMITED, would be the perfect enemy
and the reason that the JUSTICE LEAGUE needs to group together to fight a
mutual foe. LEX likes using Latin so he would simply call his corrupt
secret society the LATIN: SOCIETAS, meaning “SOCIETY” (for “SECRET SOCIETY
OF SUPER-VILLAINS). It would make for a VERY credible plot to bring the
JUSTICE LEAGUE together, for a huge heroic but credible, dark and gritty
FIRST JL MOVIE.
DARKSEID or BRAINIAC would not be good for a first gritty, credible JL
movie. They can be brought in later after THE JL is firmly grounded in
reality in the audience's minds.
I know I just posted a NEW 52 JL TRIPLE-CAST awhile back(But my JLI
CASTING was kind of for nothing since the comic has been canceled.....
…..when I read what DC wanted I right away thought of doing this quick
version of what I think would be an extremely viable CAST for a darker,
more serious, credible JUSTICE LEAGUE FILM.
A DARKER “JUSTICE LEAGUE” MOVIE LIKE WARNERS/DC WANTS.....
ENTITLED SIMPLY:
“JUSTICE LEAGUE”
Coming off directing THE MAN OF STEEL ZACK SNYDER could slide right
into directing a HUGE JUSTICE LEAGUE movie with all the pizazz of 300 or
WATCHMEN. I think it would rival the AVENGERS if ZACK did it with the
flair he did those movies!
ZACK SNYDER: DAWN OF THE DEAD, 300, WATCHMEN (FILM)
DIRECTOR:
ZACK SNYDER
I feel HENRY CAVILL will be a great CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN. He NEEDS
to be SUPERMAN in the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie. What a lead-in to a JL
MOVIE!
HENRY CAVILL, 6'1”: TRISTAN & ISOLDE, STARDUST, IMMORTALS (FILM),
THE TUDORS (TV)
SUPERMAN (CLARK KENT):
HENRY CAVILL- 6'1”
Now if I had my choice to play SUPERMAN it would be the very tall ARMIE
HAMMER. I prefer a taller, more towering CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN and ARMIE
TRULY fits the bill!
ARMIE HAMMER: (FILM)
SUPERMAN (CLARK KENT):
ARMIE HAMMER
TAYLOR COLE is a tall athletic actress and is really looking WONDER WOMAN-
like lately on TV. At around 5'9” she would be the epitome of WONDER WOMAN.
With blue contacts here you can see she is the SPITTING IMAGE of WONDER
WOMAN. She would handle the “BIG MOVIE” WONDER WOMAN with relish
along side a 6'1” HENRY CAVILL as SUPERMAN! It should NOT be a big, flashy
MOVIE STAR like ANGELINA JOLIE!
TAYLOR COLE: THE SURROGATES, GREEN HORNET (FILM), HEROES,
THE EVENT, CSI: MIAMI, THE GLADES (TV)
WONDER WOMAN (DIANA PRINCE):
TAYLOR COLE- 5'8½”
ALEX O'LOUGHLIN (O'LOCKLUN) just looks like a young, handsome, pretty-boy
womanizer, billionaire, BRUCE WAYNE. He would look great along side
CAVILL'S CLARK KENT/SUPERMAN. He portrayed “MICK”, THE VAMPIRE P.I., in
CBS' “MOONLIGHT” and he would play BATMAN with that same dark heroism.
ALEX O'LOUGHLIN, 6': THE INVISIBLE, WHITEOUT (FILM), THE SHIELD,
MOONLIGHT, CRIMINAL MINDS, HAWAII 5-0 (TV)
BATMAN (BRUCE WAYNE):
ALEX O'LOUGHLIN
My other equally as good choice would be the tall JIM CAVIEZEL for BATMAN.
He really looks much younger than his actual age. He's been acting very
DARK KNIGHT on his fantastic TV series, PERSON OF INTEREST. In my eyes he's
the EPITOME of BRUCE WAYNE/BATMAN.
JIM CAVIEZEL, 6'2”: THE THIN RED LINE, THE COUNT OF MONTE
CRISTO, DE JA VU (FILM), THE PRISONER, PERSON OF INTEREST (TV)
AMBER HEARD is a BOX OFFICE STAR and rightly so! She has a sexy, quality
acting ability. She would be scary good as BLACK CANARY/DINAH LAUREL
LANCE. I believe BLACK CANARY should be in a JL MOVIE, not that stupid
LADY LUCK character or weird ELEMENT WOMAN.
AMBER HEARD: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, ZOMBIELAND, THE STEPFATHER,
DRIVE ANGRY, THE RUM DIARY (FILM)
BLACK CANARY (DINAH LAUREL LANCE):
AMBER HEARD
CHARLIE HUNNAM is extremely popular because of SONS OF ANARCHY. He
is the perfect draw for a BIG SCREEN GREEN ARROW. He would play GA
URBAN-TOUGH and GRITTY STREET-LEVEL CREDIBLE!
CHARLIE HUNNAM, 6'1”: COLD MOUNTAIN, CHILDREN OF MEN, THE
LEDGE (FILM), SONS OF ANARCHY (TV)
GREEN ARROW (OLIVER QUEEN):
CHARLIE HUNNAM
AMANDA RIGHETTI is young and tall and an excellent athletic choice for the
auburn-haired KENDRA SAUNDERS, HAWKGIRL.
AMANDA RIGHETTI, 5'8”: FRIDAY THE 13TH (FILM), THE MENTALIST (TV)
HAWKGIRL (KENDRA SAUNDERS):
AMANDA RIGHETTI
KARL URBAN has the BOX OFFICE CLOUT and the STAR-FACTOR to play
this iconic character. Like CARTER HALL he is a little older but still
makes a dynamic hero. His “BONES” MCCOY was amazing in STAR TREK!
KARL URBAN, 6'2”: LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING, THE
CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY, STAR TREK,
RED (FILM)
HAWKMAN (CARTER HALL):
KARL URBAN
I absolutely hated RYAN REYNOLDS as HAL JORDAN! RYAN REYNOLDS is
not the ex-military test pilot, “HAL JORDAN”, NO WAY!
CHRIS PINE, on the other hand, would be ideal as the serious yet witty HAL
JORDAN, GREEN LANTERN, for a serious, more DARK JL. They need to
replace RYAN REYNOLDS PRONTO! His GL was a BOX OFFICE PARIAH!
CHRIS PINE: SMOKIN ACES, STAR TREK (FILM)
GREEN LANTERN (HAL JORDAN): CHRIS PINE- 6'1”
Since HENRY CAVILL is only 6'1” I think SCOTT PORTER (6') fits better as
BARRY ALLEN/FLASH. SCOTT was almost picked for SUPERMAN in the
abandoned JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL movie. He deserves a second chance
with a chance at playing BARRY ALLEN, besides he fits him more perfectly.
SCOTT PORTER, 6': PROM NIGHT, SPEED RACER (FILM), FRIDAY NIGHT
LIGHTS, CAPRICA (TV)
FLASH (BARRY ALLEN):
SCOTT PORTER
PHILIP WINCHESTER is ripped like a swimmer and is a classically trained actor.
He won awards for his acting on the BRITISH stage when he was still quite
young and HE'S an AMERICAN actor, quite impressive! He would perform
AQUAMAN as the regal, iconic character he is, KING of the undersea
ATLANTEANS.
PHILIP WINCHESTER, 6': SOLOMON KANE, IN MY SLEEP (FILM) CRUSOE, WAREHOUSE 13, FRINGE, CAMELOT (TV)
AQUAMAN (ARTHUR CURRY):
PHILIP WINCHESTER
MEHCAD BROOKS is a rising star in HOLLYWOOD and is the spitting
image of VIC STONE, high school football player turned BIONIC MAN.
(I really think CYBORG would be a way more hip, relevant hero to put in
here instead of MARTIAN MANHUNTER.)
MEHCAD BROOKS, 6'3”: IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH (FILM), TRUE
BLOOD, DOLL HOUSE, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS (TV)
CYBORG (VICTOR “VIC” STONE):
MEHCAD BROOKS
JOHN CHO played SULU in STAR TREK with class. He's a fine actor who would
be gigantic in this tiny-person part. JOHN CHO is also KOREAN like the
physicist RYAN CHOI. (RYAN CHOI is THE ATOM in the NEW 52.) They can
mention the first ATOM (RAY PALMER) as having passed the mantle on to
RYAN CHOI.
JOHN CHO, 5'10”: STAR TREK (FILM), FLASHFORWARD (TV)

JON HAMM would actually do the UNJUST LEX “justice”. JON may have played
LEX LUTHOR in a spoof but he actually totally fits, I mean that VOICE and
PRESENCE, he's amazing!
JON HAMM: THE TOWN, SUCKER PUNCH (FILM) MAD MEN (TV)
LEX LUTHOR (ALEXANDER JOSEPH LUTHOR):
JON HAMM
LEX LUTHOR VS SUPERMAN

KAREN CLICHE has the body and the brains to play the huge DR. ZUEL,
GIGANTA. GIGANTA is a long-time foe of WONDER WOMAN. She REALLY
hates WONDER WOMAN in a BIG way!
KAREN CLICHE, 5'9”: SAW VI (FILM), MUTANT X, FLASH GORDON (TV)
GIGANTA(DR. DORIS ZUEL):
KAREN CLICHE
GIGANTA VS WONDER WOMAN

TIMOTHY OLYPHANT would nail this role right between the eyes!

DEADWOOD, JUSTIFIED (TV)
DEADSHOT (FLOYD LAWTON):
TIMOTHY OLYPHANT
DEADSHOT VS BATMAN
DEADEYE ASSASSIN VS DARK KNIGHT
JAIME KING is an excellent and beautiful red-haired actress to play the QUEEN OF CHLOROPHYLL. Before POISON IVY & BLACK CANARY were on the same
team in the NEW 52, in BIRDS OF PREY, they were enemies. That's where they
should start out for a JUSTICE LEAGUE movie, AS ENEMIES.
JAIME KING, 5'9”: BULLET PROOF MONK, SIN CITY, THE SPIRIT, MY
BLOODY VALENTINE, RED TAILS (FILM)
POISON IVY (PAMELA LILLIAN ISLEY):
JAIME KING
POISON IVY vs BLACK CANARY
CREEPER VS SCREAMER
SEAN BEAN is an excellent classical actor and with his hair colored white he would epitomize the older hardened black-ops soldier, SLADE WILSON.
SEAN BEAN: LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY (FILM), GAME OF THRONES
(TV)
DEATHSTROKE (SLADE WILSON)
SEAN BEAN
DEATHSTROKE VS GREEN ARROW

DANNEEL ACKLES is the spitting image of this super-quick cat-like baddie.
DANNEEL ACKLES, 5'7”: FIRED UP!, THE BACK-UP PLAN, THE ROOMMATE,
A VERY HAROLD & KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS (FILM)
CHEETAH (BABARA ANN MINERVA):
DANNEEL ACKLES
CHEETAH VS HAWKGIRL
FELINE VS RAPTOR
ADRIEN BRODY would be great, using his body for the CGI rendering and his
voice plus he would play the human DOCTOR very well indeed! LEX LUTHOR
would have a device controlling the feral MAN-BAT.
ADRIEN BRODY: THE PIANIST, THE VILLAGE, KING KONG, PREDATORS
(FILM)
MAN-BAT (DR. ROBERT KIRKLAND “KIRK” LANGSTROM):
ADRIEN BRODY + CGI
MAN-BAT VS HAWKMAN
BAT VS HAWK
Before you dismiss JASON ISAACS as a by-gone idea just remember, he is an
excellent actor and since GREEN LANTERN/HAL JORDON MUST be
REBOOTED there is no way MARK STRONG should play THAAL SINESTRO
EVER again.
JASON ISAACS: BLACK HAWK DOWN, THE HARRY POTTER FILMS (FILM)
SINESTRO (THAAL SINESTRO):
JASON ISAACS
SINESTRO VS GREEN LANTERN
BAD LANTERN VS GOOD LANTERN
PATRICK WILSON is an amazing versatile actor which is what is needed to
play the roguish REVERSE FLASH, ZOOM. Instead of calling him PROFESSOR ZOOM
they should simply call him ZOOM.
PATRICK WILSON- 6'1”: WATCHMEN, LAKEVIEW TERRACE, THE A-TEAM
(FILM)
ZOOM (EOBARD THAWNE):
PATRICK WILSON
ZOOM vs FLASH
SPEED vs SPEED
OMARI HARDWICK is a fantastic actor and would make this enemy of
AQUAMAN highly believable! His popularity is HUGE! I believe he plays a
better bad guy than hero.
OMARI HARDWICK: MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA, KICK-ASS, THE A-TEAM
(FILM), DARK BLUE (TV)
BLACK MANTA:
OMARI HARDWICK
BLACK MANTA VS AQUAMAN
SEA CROOK VS SEA KING
RALPH MOELLER is the very image of this SOLOMON GRUNDY, just color
his hair and skin white and give him make-up, you don't even need CGI for
this HUGE man to play SOLOMON GRUNDY.
RALPH MOELLER, 6'6”: GLADIATOR, THE SCORPION KING, THE TOURIST
(FILM)
SOLOMON GRUNDY:
RALPH MOELLER
SOLOMON GRUNDY VS CYBORG
BIO-GENETIC FREAK VS BIONIC FREAK
BLAKE SHIELDS has played a lot of sneering murderous villains like the
SERIAL KILLER, SYLBERT RUNDINE. RUNDINE was given a shrinking-belt by the
same person who gave RYAN CHOI a shrinking-belt, corrupt Chinese woman
JIA, LADY CHRONOS.
BLAKE SHIELDS: CRIME AND PUNISHMENT IN SUBURBIA, TEKKEN (FILM),
