The Guardians of the Universe are one of several races that originated on the planet Maltus, and were among the first intelligent life forms in the universe. At this time they were tall greyish blue humanoids with black hair. They became scientists and thinkers, experimenting on the worlds around them. In a pivotal moment, billions of years ago, a Maltusian named Krona used time-bending technology to observe the beginning of the Universe. However, this experiment unleashed disaster upon all existence. Originally, the experiment splintered the Universe into the Multiverse and created the evil Anti-Matter Universe of Qward. Following the retroactive destruction of the Multiverse, it was revealed that Krona flooded the beginning of the Universe with entropy causing it "to be born old".
The male Maltusians argued about how to deal with the situation. One group decided to dedicate their eternal existences to contain evil; this group fractured into the Guardians of the Universe and the Controllers. The females, however, saw no need to involve themselves and, since the Oans were by then immortal and had no more need to reproduce, left their mates and became known as the Zamarons. Relocating to the planet Oa at "the center of the Universe", the Guardians dedicated themselves to combatting evil and create an orderly universe. During this period they slowly evolved into their current appearance.
In their first attempt to enforce their will and guard against menaces of all sorts, about 3.5 billion years ago the Guardians created a legion of robotic sentinels called the Manhunters. At first serving faithfully to enforce order, in time the Manhunters came to resent their servitude and the moral restrictions the guardians decreed of them. They were also found to be inherently flawed due to their inability to recognize or feel emotions. They rebelled against the Guardians and fought a millennia long war that culminated with an attack on the planet Oa. The Guardians overcame their android servants, stripped them of their power, and banished them across the universe. Eventually, the surviving Manhunters formed their own robotic society and pursued their own interpretation of their original mission (which often included interfering with and foiling the plans of the Guardians).
Chastened by the failure of the Manhunters, the Guardians decided that their newest force of soldiers for good would consist of living beings, ones who had free will and strong moral character. To arm this new legion of celestial knights, the Guardians created the Power Rings, rings of inconceivably-advanced technology that allowed their wearers to project green beams of energy with which the bearer could conjure objects of any size or shape, limited only by their imagination and willpower.
Although the connection between the Guardian Oans and the origin of the Green Lantern symbol has yet to be clarified, it has been revealed that the lantern itself has its roots in the first life in the universe. Allegedly, the first life in the galaxy emerged on an unnamed foggy world, and when they developed a police force - the first in the universe - the constabulary carried a lantern lit with a green chemical flame, hence a corps of Green Lanterns. It is intimated that this idea was adopted and spread throughout the galaxy as a symbol for law and justice and its ability to pierce confusion and uncertainty, eventually resulting in the formation of the Green Lantern Corps, with requisite Power Rings and Lantern-shaped batteries along traditional lines. Initially consisting of only a few dozen agents at a time, the Corps radically increased its numbers approximately 1000 years ago. The Guardians sought to bring order to the planet known as Apokolips. Home to Darkseid, a galactic tyrant, Apokolips was and is a stronghold of evil. Green Lantern Raker Qarrigat sought to remove Darkseid from power, only to be humbled by Darkseid's might. Raker returned to Oa, where he convinced the Guardians that taking Apokolips would require an army. Authorized to start a massive recruitment, Raker and his fellow Lanterns inducted thousands of new members, bringing total membership up to 3600.
Many thanks to Wikipedia for the information on the history of the Green Lantern Corps.
Well i don't have 3600 Green Lanterns below lol, but there is a huge amount. This by far took me the longest to do and by far the biggest thing ever, even bigger than the Avengers casting I did. Took a couple of months on and off, just getting the pictures and photos is the easy part, doing all them names etc is by far very time consuming and I did plan to do the whole cast like I normally do but by then if I did, it'll be 2011 and the movie would've been released already heh heh. Anyway enjoy, the Green Lantern Corps is officially open.
The alien Green Lanterns by the way will be done the way Davy Jones himself was done in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," CG and special effect and prosthetics together to give it that much more real feel we all need and want.
P.s. Many have changed, as I was not one hundred percent satisfied with all the casting I did last time... Heck this still took longer than doing a couple of fresh castings, been on this for days, but the original took me months, anyways hope you enjoy and remember Green Lantern is watching...
Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan:
Harold "Hal" Jordan, a second-generation test pilot, having followed in the footsteps of his father, Martin Jordan. He was given the power ring and battery (lantern) by a dying alien named Abin Sur, whose spaceship crashed on Earth. Abin Sur used his ring to seek out an individual who was "utterly honest and born without fear" to take his place as Green Lantern. Jordan became a founding member of the Justice League of America and as of the mid-2000s is, along with John Stewart, one of the two active-duty Lanterns in Earth's sector of space.
He is DC Universes second Green Lantern and the first human ever inducted into the Green Lantern Corps and founding member of the Justice League of America. Bearer of a Green Lantern ring, he patrols and fights for justice on Earth and outer space for all of Mankind.
Well Ryan Reynolds is Green Lantern, and I can't wait for this epic in the making space opera called "Green Lantern."
Bradley Cooper as Guy Gardner:
Guy Gardner was the second choice to replace Abin Sur as Green Lantern of sector 2814. Gardner was originally supposed to receive Abin Sur's ring, but Jordan was closer. This placed him as the "backup" Green Lantern for Jordan. But early in his career as a Green Lantern, tragedy struck Gardner as a power battery blew up in his face, putting him in a coma for years. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Guardians split into factions, one of which appointed a newly revived Gardner as their champion. As a result of his years in a coma, Guy was very emotionally unstable, although he still mostly managed to fight valiantly. He has gone through many changes, including wielding Sinestro's yellow Qwardian power ring, then gaining and losing Vuldarian powers, and readmission to the Corps during Green Lantern: Rebirth. He later became part of the Green Lantern Honor Guard, and oversees the training of new Green Lanterns. Gardner is designated as Honor Guard Green Lantern.
What can I say on this one, the guy was born to play Guy Gardner, he has attitude and a right asshole too-boot and a fantastic actor, just check out such films as "The Hangover" and "Midnight Meat Train" to name just a few. Perfect Guy Gardner!
Talking Guy Gardner's =
Also Dennis Leary as an older future time travelling Guy Gardner:
I have always thought of Dennis as the best Guy Gardner for years, but times gone on, pity he would've owned the role, but theres no reason he couldn't be Guy Gardner through time from the future, now that would be cool.
Roger R Cross as John Stewart:
John Stewart is an architect and veteran U.S. Marine who was selected by the Guardians as Hal Jordan’s backup after Guy Gardner was seriously injured in a disaster. Although Jordan objected after seeing that Stewart had a belligerent attitude to authority figures, the Guardians stood by their selection.
Taye Diggs was my first choice, in a way he still is but I really think Roger R Cross is pretty equal, to be truthful I always wanted him for a John Stewart spin off TV show just like the nineties solo comic book of his. Cross can act his ass off, and he looks spot of for the character, it's like he flew out of the pages of a DC comic book too. Been in many shows like 'Fringe' etc but most would know him from the excellent TV series '24' thats what struck gold for me and I'm warming more and more maybe he should be John Stewart on the big screen too instead of Taye, check out '24' and tell me I'm wrong.
Aaron Eckhart as Alan Scott:
Alan Scott's Green Lantern history traditionally began thousands of years ago when a mystical "green flame" meteor fell to Earth in ancient China. The voice of the flame prophesied that it would act three times: once to bring death (a lamp-maker crafted the green metal of the meteor into a lamp; in fear and as punishment for what they thought sacrilege, the local villagers killed him, only to be destroyed by a sudden burst of the green flame), once to bring life (in modern times, the lamp came into the hands of a patient in a mental institution who fashioned the lamp into a modern lantern; the green flame restored him to sanity and gave him a new life), and once to bring power. By 1940, the lantern passed into the possession of Alan Scott, a young engineer. Following a railroad bridge collapse in which he was the only survivor, the flame instructed Scott how to fashion a ring from its metal, to give him fantastic powers as the superhero Green Lantern. He adopted a colorful costume and became a crimefighter.
Alan was a founding member of the Justice Society of America and of course this is the younger version of Alan (maybe) yes Aaron was Two-Face but he isn't now and as much as I dislike casting actors in same universe roles he would absolutely be one of the best Alan Scott's ever...he has the chiseled jaw, blonde hair and amazing acting abilities to pull this role right of, disagree just let me know...
Milo Ventimiglia as Kyle Rayner:
Kyle Rayner is a struggling freelance artist when he is approached by the last Guardian of the Universe, Ganthet, to become a new Green Lantern with the last power ring. Ganthet's reasons for choosing Rayner remained a secret for quite some time. Despite not being cut from the same cloth of bravery and fearlessness as Hal Jordan — or perhaps because of that — Rayner proved to be popular with readers and his fellow characters. Having continually proven himself on his own and with the JLA, he became known amongst the Oans as The Torch Bearer. He briefly operated as Ion after using the power of the entire Green Lantern Corps.
Well I have got to admit I really do like Milo from "Heroes" as this part a huge lot and its only seeing him as Nightwing I've kept from casting him, true is another TV series called 'Vampire Diaries' is too perfect for Grayson so Milo would steal this part, just check out his acting ability in 'Heroes' to see that he lives and breaths Kyle Rayner!
Mila Kunis as Jade:
The daughter of Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, Jennifer-Lynn Hayden would discover she shared her father's mystical connection to the Starheart, which gave her the abilities of a Green Lantern. Choosing to follow in her father's footsteps, she became the superheroine Jade. She would later fight a manifestation of the Starheart and lose those abilities.
Mila Kunis painted green and in skin tight spandex, think about it. Oh my, she's a good little actress too, near perfect Jade I reckon.
Michael Clarke Duncan as Kilowog:
A towering alien with a brutish and porcine appearance, Kilowog is renowned throughout the Green Lantern Corps as the primary trainer of the Corps' newest recruits. The Guardians of the Universe recruited Kilowog, a gifted genetic scientist, from the planet Bolovax Vik, located in Space Sector 674. Kilowog was trained by Lantern Ermey, who would often use the word "Poozer", which meant "useless rookies" (A word Kilowog would later adopt, albeit in a friendlier way).
What can i say, he is Kilowog.
Kaley Cuoco as Arisia Rrab:
Arisia is originally from the planet Graxos IV. Her father, Fentara, served as the Green Lantern of Sector 2815. In Blackest Night, it's revealed that (in a rare occurrence) all of the Green Lanterns preceding her father belong to their lineage as well. After her father meets his demise while serving the Corps, her uncle Blish is the next chosen to serve as the Lantern of her sector. Blish too eventually gives his life serving the Corps and Arisia is selected as his replacement on her next birthday, making her at least the fifth member of the family to serve as a Green Lantern.
Yeah I originally thought Tara Reid and I sorta still do, I think she has talent but maybe just maybe Kaley would make even a better Arisia Rrab, imagine her painted all orange....okay you can stop now lol! Yup You will believe she is Arisia Rrab, oh yeah check out 'Big Bang Theory' funny show.
Angelina Jolie as Boodikka:
At three centuries of age, the warrior Boodikka of the planet Bellatrix was originally recruited by the sphere-like Chaselon of Barrio III to join the then-reconstituted Green Lantern Corps. Not long before, Boodikka had belonged to something called the "Bellatrix Bombers," a group of women mercenaries for hire by planets to clear the spaceways of hostile forces. The "Bellatrix Bombers" had broken up at some point, the majority of the team apparently having been killed along the way.
I don't know what it is about Angelina as Boodikka, don't really like her cast in comic book roles but for this part she just screams Bookikka. She'd fit that tight costume pretty well too!
Justin Timberlake as G'nort:
Hal Jordan explains that G'nort became a Green Lantern due to the influence of his relative who was a famous member of the Lantern Corps. Despite his obviously limited intelligence (not intelligent enough to read a map) and profoundly lacking tactical judgment, the character is consistently depicted as brave, loyal, and honorable. This fact is overlooked by most heroes, although Superman has pointed it out on occasion.
Early in his career, G'nort becomes inadvertently mixed up with the League's battle against the Manhunter planet. Anyway i would never pick this guy for any role period but with G'nort he just fits lol, can't explain it he just does and he's had a couple of movies under his belt too, an he's not too bad in them either, check out a comic book movie called "Southland Tales."
Elias Koteas as Abin Sur:
Originally a history professor on the planet Ungara, Abin Sur is appointed Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814 in the mid 1860s. As a child, he became best friends with Ruch Ehr and later, by association, Munni Jah. The two of them were a couple and Abin secretly loved Munni, but never spoke overtly of this.
Recruited by the Green Lantern known as Starkaor, he is known to have come to Earth on several occasions in the American Old West.
While on patrol, he is attacked and pursued by the being known as Legion while on its way to Oa. Badly injured and with his spaceship seriously damaged, he makes an emergency landing on the nearest habitable planet (Earth). Due to his injuries, Sur was aware that his death was inevitable and he uses his ring to search for a successor. The first possibility was Clark Kent. Since he was not native to earth, he is not chosen. The next candidates were Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. As Jordan was closer, the ring chose him as the most suitable replacement right before Sur's death.
Elias has been connected to "Green Lantern" and if he did get a part, this part of Abin Sur is made for him. Quality actor for a quality part.
Kate Walsh as Katma Tui:
Katma Tui hails from the planet Korugar, in the area of space designated Sector 1417 by the Guardians of the Universe, the extraterrestrials from the planet Oa who oversee and administer the Green Lantern Corps. Korugar was also the home planet of the renegade former Green Lantern Sinestro, who used his Green Lantern powers to enslave his planet, and rule over them as a tyrant, unbeknownst to his Guardian superiors. Tui eventually leads a rebellion against Sinestro, and even testifies against him before the Guardians. Sinestro is imprisoned in the antimatter universe, on the planet Qward. Green Lantern Tomar-Re nominates Tui as Sinestro’s replacement as Green Lantern of Sector 1417, and Tui accepts.
Katma Tui is slain by the villain Star Sapphire. Katma, at the time unpowered, is sliced to death while in her kitchen. Star Sapphire did this simply to make a point to Hal Jordan. Ouch, anyways you may have seen Kate in many things and at the moment she too is in "Private Practice," great show, great actress and she'd do this character justice.
Bridget Moynahan as Laira:
Laira is born on the planet Jayd in space sector 112. She is trained by her father Kentor Omoto to take over his role as a soldier of the Guardians of the Universe; a Green Lantern of her sector. Her training is also one strict with tradition and honor. During her training she becomes exceptionally adept at her native martial arts. Throughout his time with his daughter, her father never hides the fact that the ruling council of his planet are not doing things the way he would. He sees their rule as weak and disreputable.[1] After the disappearance of her father during the Crisis on Infinite Earths and the proclamation by the Guardians that he is dead, she is considered for the post of ring bearer and Green Lantern of her sector. Her instructor turns out to be Ke'Haan of Varva: Kilowog's second in command, known for his tough as nails training. Eager to please and finding a kindred spirit of honor within her teacher, she becomes his prized pupil.
Nice bod, nice actress, nice role!
Doug Jones as Salakk:
A famous pessimist and loner, Salaak is a creature of protocol and laws. A veteran Green Lantern he has served in many Corps campaigns over the years. During the Crisis on Infinite Earths he protects multiple sectors, but found the experience depressing. After this, he went to Earth looking for company amongst his fellow Green Lanterns. He served with the contingent of Green Lanterns assigned to Earth and became good friends with Ch'p of H'lven. For a time Salaak lived in the future, filling the identity of Pol Manning as Hal Jordan had before him. While in the future, Salaak was married to a human woman.
This man Doug Jones can pretty much play any alien perfectly, this ones fantastic for him.
Josh Duhamel as Sodam Yat (Ion):
Sodam Yat makes his first appearance in regular DC continuity in Green Lantern Corps #12, and part three of the Sinestro Corps War (Green Lantern Corps #14), when Kilowog gathers a group of Lanterns to strike back against Sinestro's forces attack in Space Sector 2263. Salaak singles out Arisia to keep an eye on the newly graduated Lantern Yat, while she wonders why Yat is so important. Salaak has been charged by the Guardians of the Universe to keep Qull's prophesy from coming to pass, but keeps this to himself, only saying that one day she may know why he is so special. In Green Lantern Corps #16, he destroys the core of Ranx the Sentient City, ending the battle of Mogo.
Josh can easily play this guy down to a tea, man the guy needs a ring on his finger, just not Hal's lol.
Anne Hathaway as Kraken:
Part of the duo (with Raker Qarrigat) dedicated to bringing peace to their homeworld of Apokolips, she becomes an Alpha Lantern to further this goal, unaware of the toll it will take on her emotions. Later, in Final Crisis, she is possessed by the malevolent spirit of the New God Granny Goodness, who uses her to subdue the Green Lanterns of Earth, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, and capture Batman for use as a scientific test subject by her master, Darkseid. When Jordan is put on trial for an attempted murder actually performed by Kraken/Goodness herself, she is unmasked by Kyle Rayner and Guy Gardner before sentence can be passed, and attempts at her primary mission, to obtain the central Green Lantern Power Battery for Darkseid. She is then defeated by Jordan and taken into custody by the other Alpha Lanterns.
Anne, never cast her in anything, but could play this character really well. Only comic book movie character I could really ever see her playing.
Kevin Durand as Jack T Chance (if not Lobo):
But he is Lobo so: James Preston Rogers is my second choice for Jack if Kevin Durand got Lobo!
Jack T. Chance is from the planet Garnet, also known as 'Hellhole' because it is one of the worst criminal worlds in existence. Repeatedly the Guardians of the Universe dispatched Green Lanterns to this planet in hope of redeeming the world, but each attempt ended in failure, usually fatally for the Green Lantern. The last Guardian-sent agent used his dying breath to instruct his ring to find a replacement among Hellhole's inhabitants uniquely suited to the challenges of the world (in other words, one not limited by the Green Lanterns' usual moral strictures). The ring chose Jack T. Chance. When the ring bonded with him it created a standard Green Lantern uniform and explained his duties to him. Chance rejected the idea of a uniform, refusing to wear anything other than his own trashy clothes with a single small added symbol.
I've have cast him in this if he doesn't get the Lobo job (which he's perfect for). Anyway this is the next best thing and Jack's a lot like Lobo just with a power ring!
Zachary Quinto as Tomar-Tu:
Tomar was instrumental in the fall of the mad guardian as he was contacted by Hal Jordan to monitor for the arrival of Guy Gardner who was to arrive from earth to help Jordan deal with the mad guardian. When Gardner finally arrived Tomar gave Jordan the signal necessary for him to create a diversion and tap into the central power battery.
Now this is the perfect part for Quinto, he would steal this part and bring in depth, just check out his acting every week in "Heroes."
Lucy Lawless as Lianna:
After Kyle Rayner relights the Central Power Battery on Oa, all the dead Guardians are restored to life. However they are restored as children in a mix of male and female, instead of adult males (their original form).
Kyle Rayner and Jade visit the planet Oa and meet several of the Guardian children. Kyle is surprised to see that one of them, Lianna, has already developed the ability to use a small amount of her powers. At this point, she still looks the same as the others.
Lawless could handle this role easy and yeah I know I have cast her as another DC character, but that was an Elseworlds Wonder Woman so it don't count lol.
Susan Ward as Soranik Natu:
A neurosurgeon by trade, Natu, like the rest of her race, saw the Green Lanterns and everything associated with them as a symbol of oppression, because the first Korugaran to have been a Green Lantern was the renegade Sinestro. Sinestro, unbeknownst to his superiors, the Guardians of the Universe, who recruit and administrate the Green Lantern Corps, used his GL power ring to enslave his people and rule over them as a dictator. As a result, he is known among Korugarans as "The Wicked." Susan Ward is wicked!
Check out 'Wild Things 2' she ain't too bad, heck I've always said she'd make an amazing TV Wonder Woman version too!
Jackie Earle Hayley as Ganthet:
Ganthet is one of the Guardians of the Universe. However, where most of the Guardians are very stern 'by-the-book' characters, Ganthet has a personality that is more human-like, including displays of empathy and concern for an individual, instead of only thinking of the Green Lantern Corps. In various DC crossover limited series, Ganthet is shown as being part of the Quintessence, a group of near-omnipotent beings who oversee the results of what happens on Earth.
Okay many people cast Hayley a lot but this ones different, he's gonna be a small alien dude. Heck Jackie will own this part hands down and he half there being small already heh heh, does an amazing job on 'Human Target' watch that by the way if you haven't yet and hell yes to this part.
Okay, this is going to take forever going through every single one, so I'll now just put the names to the characters and if you've got any question on these lesser known Green Lanterns, I'll let you know.
Bashar Atiyat as Talu Katu:
This is an Elseworld's Green Lantern just so you know, with a bit of heavy make up I think Bashar would own this part (check out 'Syriana'), would love to see the guy burst through time and space straight into a bar where Lobo is and spill his pint of beer! : P

Jamie Bamber as Amon Sur:
Jane Lynch as Avir:
Javier Bardem as Graf Toren:
(As Brent has said, would make a fine Lobo, and Bane for that matter, gotta go with Graf on this casting though. Check out 'No Country For Old Men' with Tommy Lee Jones, great actor and amazing performance!

Mark Strong as Sinestro:
When Hal Jordan joined the Green Lantern Corps, Sinestro was assigned to be his instructor. Jordan was horrified at his new mentor's totalitarian methods, though Sinestro maintained that his iron-fisted rule was necessary to protect his people from alien forces. During his training, Jordan helped Sinestro repel an attempted invasion of Korugar by the alien warlords known as the Khunds. When Jordan called for help from the other Green Lanterns, Sinestro's dictatorship was exposed and he was forced to appear before the Guardians for punishment. Katma Tui, the leader of a Korugarian resistance movement who felt that
Sinestro's "protection" kept her people from growing as a society through contact with other alien races, was recruited as his replacement in the Corps. Though Katma Tui eventually grew into one of the most respected Green Lanterns, she and the rest of Korugar initially resisted her appointment to the Corps; due to Sinestro's actions, Korugar had come to consider the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps an emblem of terror and oppression, similar to the swastika of the Nazi regime on Earth.
Mark Strong is Sinestro! Well of course Hugo Weaving and Jason Isaacs would've owned the role too, but like many, I trust Warner Brothers and also Strong too to make the most epic of all epic Super villain's on screen!
The Manhunters will be totally CGI with computer generated voices:
The Manhunters were the first attempt of the Guardians of the Universe to create an interstellar police force that would combat evil all over the cosmos. Their name and much of their code of behavior was modeled by the Guardians of the Universe on the Manhunters of Ma'aleca'andra (Mars) (This creates an apparent
chronology problem, since the Manhunters were created many millions of years ago, while the Green Martian race came into existence from the Burning Martians only about 20,000). For thousands of years, they served the Guardians well. However, the Manhunters became obsessed with the act of 'hunting' criminals. Their code, "No man escapes the Manhunters" (corrupted from the original), became more important to them than seeing justice done.
Eventually, the robots conspired to rebel against their masters, but the Guardians defeated and destroyed most of them. Those that survived hid away on many planets, slowly rebuilding their forces and spreading their beliefs to others. Since then, the over-riding goal of the Manhunters has been to take revenge on the Guardians, as well as on their replacements, the Green Lantern Corps.
Olivia Wilde as Lyssa Drak:
Lyssa Drak was recruited by Sinestro to join the "Sinestro Corps" which is based in the anti-matter universe on the planet of Qward.
Lyssa Drak is the keeper of the Book of Parallax for the Sinestro Corps, to which she is chained for life. This book contains the lifestories of many of the Sinestro Corps' finest members and tells stories.
Check out Olivia in the series "House" or the up and coming "Tron," great girl, great actress, plays evil really good.
Kevin J O'Connor:
Hammond is a petty criminal on the run from the law when he discovers the fragments of a strange meteor in the woods (part of the same meteor that lands in Africa, super-evolving Gorilla Grodd and the other gorillas of Gorilla City). Observing that radiation from the meteor has caused the nearby plants to evolve rapidly, Hammond decides to kidnap four scientists and expose them to the meteor. The radiation causes their intellects to evolve, but also has the side effect of sapping their wills. Hammond is able to force the scientists to use their heightened intellect to create amazing new inventions, which Hammond sells for his own profit.
Kevin damn fine actor and man he's like looking into a comic book mirror and yes I'm really happy with Warner Brothers picks Skars for the movie too, epic choice!
Blake Lively as Star Sapphire (Carol Ferris):
As Ferris Aircraft's Vice President, Carol Ferris, the only child of aerospace mogul Carl Ferris, hired Hal Jordan and quickly found herself attracted to the fearless test pilot, who was secretly the superhero Green Lantern. However, the young couple’s romance quickly became complicated when Carol took over the company from her father and the Zamarons crowned her the new Star Sapphire. When the Zamarons discovered that she was in love with Green Lantern, a servant of their estranged friends, the Guardians of the Universe, they sent her to defeat Green Lantern in battle as Star Sapphire.
Over the years, Star Sapphire and Green Lantern would duel again and again, but each time Jordan would defeat Ferris and revert her to normal.
Right Blake Lively, I have got to admit I've watched a couple of them 'Gossip Girl' episodes now (gulp) and her acting is not as bad as I thought it was just seeing one episode in the past, she surprised me, must have been a dodgy one I saw lol. Also seen her with dark hair in pics and she does have that Carrol about her, I really hope she does pull it off though because I'm still iffy about her for Star Sapphire... Guess we'll have to wait and see...
Carla Gugino would've been great but she makes a to good of Catwoman.
Scott Porter as Dr Polaris:
Neal Emerson and his brother John were raised by an abusive father (although a later flashback shows him raised by an abusive aunt). This apparently drove Neal Emerson within himself and led to the creation of the personification of his own dark side. Emerson left the United States for a year and returned to find he was an uncle. His brother John and sister-in-law Katherine had adopted a baby and named him Grant. Emerson was not around much for his nephew over the years, but he was quite fond of the boy.
As a medical student, Neal Emerson develops a fanatical interest in magnets, despite the teasings of his classmates. Emerson is convinced exposure to magnetic fields will give him more energy. He later holds crowd-drawing lectures on "Health via Magnetism." Due to his medical background and belief in magnetism, Emerson adopts the name "Doctor Polaris." He even designs a special costume and mask to wear for his public appearances.
Scott Porter is the answer to DC's Magneto don't you think?
Brian Thompson as Atrocitus:
When the rogue Manhunters rampaged through Space Sector 666, Atrocitus was one of only five beings in the entire sector to escape death. He and the other four survivors formed a terrorist cabal known as the Five Inversions, bent on the destruction of the Guardians of the Universe and all who served them, with Atrocitus serving as their leader. The Five Inversions performed a ritual which allowed them to peer into the future and discover the prophecy of the Blackest Night, which decreed that all life in the universe would end. Forming an "Empire of Tears", the Inversions attempted to destroy the Guardians, but were defeated and imprisoned on the planet Ysmault.
Thompson could play this part perfect, he needs to hit Hollywood big again!
Mads Mikkelsen as Black Hand:
William Hand is born an inventive genius; developing a penchant for speaking in extremely old clichés later in life. William's family, the Hands, are renowned in Coastville (a suburb of Coast City, California); however, he grows to dislike them early in life. He feels the best way to distance himself from them, especially his three brothers (David, Peter and Joe), is to start a life of crime. After extensive study, he becomes an expert criminal and evades police at every turn. Eventually, his criminal behavior escalates into becoming a costumed supervillain; dubbing himself "Black Hand" (an inside joke he conceives that refers to his status as the "black sheep" of the Hand family).
I wouldn't cast Mads a Justice League International Black Hand but since Darkest Night Black Hand's got deadly serious and thats Mads all over, forget 007, check out 'Valhalla Rising' amongst others and see what an actor of many depths this guy actually is.
Extras:
Hey, got another Guardian for you too, yes there is many but Wallace Shawn would make a good one!
Ron Perlman as Mongul:
After the 12-issue limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC Comics retconned the histories of some major characters in an attempt at updating them for contemporary audiences, the original stories involving Mongul were no longer valid and the character was reintroduced as the ruler of Warworld, a space empire where Mongul entertained the citizens with gladiatorial games. Mongul captured Superman for use in the games, but the hero ended up joining forces with alien warrior called Draaga and making Mongul flee. Mongul was then persuaded via torture to serve the Cyborg Superman in order to gain vengeance on Superman and to try to turn the Earth into another Warworld. In the process, Green Lantern Hal Jordan's home, Coast City, was destroyed, which led to Jordan joining Superman and his allies to defeat Mongul.
After his defeat, Mongul was imprisoned in a jail for intergalactic criminals, only to break out during a riot. His first target was Green Lantern; he found out that the one whom he faced (Kyle Rayner), was not the one he fought earlier. Even more so, he was defeated when Kyle's ring showed no weakness to yellow, something that even shocked the aiding Superman. Following his defeat, he was re-imprisoned.
Mongul just oozes Perlman, bit of CGI on top, he's top dollar as the infamous nasty space cadet tyrant, come on he owns Hellboy, he'll own this, top quality actor.
Kevin Durand as Lobo:
Lobo is a Czarnian (originally a Velorpian in the Omega Men series) with exceptional strength and fortitude. He enjoys nothing better than mindless violence and intoxication. Killing is an end in itself; his name is Khundian for "he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it." He is also arrogant and self-centered, focusing almost solely on his own pleasures, although he proudly lives up to his word – but exactly his word: no more or no less than what he promised. Lobo is the last of his kind, having committed complete genocide by killing all the other Czarnians for fun (as originally written, Psions had exterminated his race, but after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, this was retconned). As detailed in Lobo #0, Lobo unleashed a violent plague (a hybrid of flying scorpions) upon his homeworld, killing most of its citizens. In Superman: The Animated Series, Lobo nonchalantly tells Superman the fate of his race: "I'm the last Czarnian. I fragged the rest of the planet for my high school science project. Gave myself an A." Lobo became a regular character in L.E.G.I.O.N. and its successor series R.E.B.E.L.S.
Lobo possesses extraordinary strength of undefined limits. His strength, much like his other powers, varies greatly depending upon different artistic interpretations of various comic book writers. In some instances, he is depicted as being barely stronger than a human while, in others, he demonstrates physical strength on a similar level to Superman. Lobo also possesses superhuman durability, which varies greatly as well. Lobo is depicted, in some situations, as being injured by conventional bullets while, in other situations, he has the physical resiliency to stand toe to toe with Superman, survive unprotected in deep space, and withstand powerful explosive blasts without sustaining injury. He has displayed particular susceptibility to gaseous chemicals.
No shock here lol, yup Durand the more I see of him in movies the more I see him as Lobo, damn if he don't get it, its gonna be a crime against humanity Warner Brothers! ; D
LEEE777 - Well that took forever (again) to do, hope you enjoyed it! ; )
