This is my first fancast, so don't hate, I've been putting this together for a few months on my free time, Booster is my favorite hero, and I figured, why not kick my fancasts off with him?
I chose all my actors because they're pretty good at what they do, and they bare similarity to the characters
Description: Humiliated in his own time-period (the 25th century), Michael Jon Carter steals future technology and a security robot named Skeets, and travels back into the 20th century to become Booster Gold. He is now the Guardian of the Time Stream and protects it with the help of Rip Hunter.
For Booster, I thought that I needed a sort of meatheadish guy, I first saw him in She's Out of My League, and the thought of him as Booster just stuck.
His credits include:
She's Out of My League, Happy Town, and I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell.
Description: Rip is a time-traveling hero. He keeps his real name, date of birth, and birthplace a secret to protect himself from time-traveling villains. Rip Hunter is also Booster Gold's son.
I chose him because he was mentioned in an article for the character, so I took that idea and ran with it, he's also fantastic in V.
His credits include: V, United States of Tara, and National Treasure Book of Secrets.
Description:Skeets, a security robot for the Metropolis Space Museum in the 25th Century, accompanies Michael Jon Carter 500+ years in the past, to help him in becoming the superhero Booster Gold.
I chose him because I loved his voice acting for the Mr. Handy robots in Fallout 3, whenever I read Booster Gold and Skeets is speaking, this guys voice is the one that I imagine.
His credits include: Fallout 3, Bioshock Infinite, Thief, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
The Beetles!:
Student of the first Blue Beetle, Dan Garrett, Ted Kord took the mantle upon his death. Ted is the most widely known Blue Beetle, but the mantle has once again passed on, this time to Jaime Reyes.
Description: Ted Kord was the second person to become the Blue Beetle. Deprived of the scarab that empowered his predeccesor, Ted was forced to rely on his superior athleticism, fighting prowess, and technological genius to combat crime. He was Booster Gold's best friend. He died a hero fighting Booster's now arch-nemesis, Maxwell Lord.
I love Zachary Levi, when I saw him in Chuck, I thought he was just perfect for the role of Ted Kord, he's a great actor.
His credits include: Chuck, Spiral, Alvin & the Chipmunks 2, and Tangled.
Description: Dan Garret was an archaeologist who found a mysterious blue scarab while excavating in Egypt, he was the first Beetle and passed his legacy down to his apprentice Ted Kord.
Nicolas Cage is usually a hit and miss actor for me, but in the end, I still like him, I think he'd be the perfect Dan Garret.
His credits include: Kick-Ass, Leaving Las Vegas, and Face-Off.
Description: Some time before Ted Kord's death he left Dan Garrett's scarab in the Rock of Eternity with the wizard Shazam. After the destruction of the rock by the Spectre, the Scarab landed in a vacant lot in El Paso, Texas. There it was found by a high school student, Jaime Reyes. The scarab bonded itself to Jaime's body, and entered into a far more interactive relationship with the boy than it had with Dan Garrett. The scarab now allows Jaime to cover himself in a kind of biomechanical armor, which can be modified to enhance his speed and strength, as well as to create weapons, wings and shields.
I first saw this choice of Ezra Miller made by InSpace, and I thought it was perfect, and I really liked City Island, so he's the perfect choice for Jaime Reyes.
His credits include: City Island, Californication, and Royal Pains.
Booster's Family!:
Description: Supernova is the banner used by Booster Gold in the pages of 52 to hide his wear abouts as Booster secretly saved the Multiverse. The title was passed down to Daniel Carter, Booster's ancestor. Daniel eventually meets reporter Rose Levin and gets married to her, keeping the Carter bloodline intact.
I love Jensen Ackles, he's fantastic in Supernatural, he was the only person thought of when I first saw Daniel Carter in the pages of Booster Gold
His credits include: Supernatural, Smallville, and Dark Angel.
Description: Michelle Carter is the younger sister of Booster Gold and traveled into the past to be a superhero like her brother. She died in battle, but through the rules of time travel, Rip Hunter traveled to the past and saved her, she now lives with Booster, Rani, and Rip.
I liked her in 24, so I chose her for this part.
Her credits include: 24, The Forgotten, and The Girl Next Door.
Description: Rani was saved by Booster Gold when the planet Daxam was being destroyed by Darkseid in the future. Booster acts as her surrogate father, and Rip is considered her uncle, she calls him "Boppy."
I've seen G. in a few Disney Channel things, and she's pretty good.
Her credits include: Den Brother, Sonny With a Chance, and Surviving Suburbia.
Description: A reporter and future wife of Daniel Carter, without her and Daniel, Booster wouldn't even exist.
Alexis is a pretty good actress, I loved her in Sin City, and she looks a lot like Rose.
Her credits include: Sin City, Gilmore Girls, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Description: Jonar Carter is the father of Booster, he was the person that caused Booster's humiliation in the 25th century by them setting bets on Booster's football games. Jonar leaves and later travels to the past stealing a Supernova suit from Daniel, it was revealed that the current evil in him was caused by Mr. Mind being in his brain.
I chose Tim Robbins because he kind of looks like the character and I love his acting, he was amazing in The Shawshank Redemption.
His credits include: The Shawshank Redemption, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, and War of the Worlds.
The Linear Men!:
The Linear Men are a team of heroes who try to make sure time remains free of paradoxes, Matt Ryder and Liri Lee were locked away when they interfered with Rip's plans and Waverider was killed by a Mister Mind possessed Skeets.
Description: Waverider is a yellow superhero, with fire-like hair. He can travel through time and comes from the future, he's one of the three members of the Linear Men, he is a version of Matthew Ryder from the future, he was killed by Skeets while he was possessed by Mister Mind in the events of 52.
I chose Brad Pitt because he's a great actor in almost everything he does and he looks pretty similar to one of the pics of Waverider without his yellow form.
His credits include: Inglourious Basterds, Troy, and The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button.
Description: Another member of the Linear Men is Matthew Ryder, a normal looking Time Traveler, from the future that replaced the one from which Waverider came
I chose him because I thought that he looked a little like Brad Pitt, and he looks kind of like Matt Ryder I also loved Tron Legacy.
His credits include: Tron Legacy, Friday Night Lights, and Eragon.
Description:Liri Lee is a member of the Linear Men, and she's also Matthew Ryder's girlfriend.
I first saw her in Supernatural, and she was pretty good. I looked at her while I was putting this together, and I was like "There's my Liri Lee!"

The Time Stealers!:
A group of villains originally led by Mister Mind, bent on wreaking havoc in the time stream, the evil group is now led by enemy of Booster Gold and Jaime Reyes, the Black Beetle.

Recently Ultra-Humanite has been seen time traveling with Per Degaton and Despero. It is later revealed that they are all members of the Time Stealers. He is in his mutant ape form.
I chose Christopher Lee because he seems like he can do a smart character voice, I also love his acting.
His credits include: Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Sleepy Hollow.
Description: Rex Hunter was one of Rip's apprentices, he was disowned by Rip when he thought he could manipulate the time-stream for his own personal gain. He was later killed by the Time Stealers when he was a baby because he was getting too big-headed for the team.
I chose Matthew Jaeger because he looks a little like Rex, this was kind of a desperate choice, because I couldn't find any other red-haired actors. He's a very unknown actor he does small tv roles.
His credits include: Scab, Just Say Love, and CSI.
Description: Despero has evolved over the years from a psychic, chess playing, trickster who would cause the League problems from time to time, into a nigh unstoppable juggernaut of destruction, and psionic menace of the highest order, he is now in his smaller form.
I chose Desmond Harrington because I love him in Dexter, he's always great, and when I was watching season 5, I got the idea that he could be Despero.
His credits include: Dexter, Rescue Me, Gossip Girl, and Life is Hot in Cracktown.
Description:Per Degaton is a time-traveling Nazi and a member of the Time Stealers. He's died before, but do to the wacky nature of time travel, he can show up at any time, there's currently a version of him in the Time Stealers.

And last but not least!

Max was killed by Wonder Woman through a neck-snap. At the end of the events of Blackest Night, Max was brought back to life. In Justice League: Generation Lost, he's turned the world against the former members of the JLI with his mind-control. He's now holding Jaime captive.
Description: Black Beetle is a mysterious villain supposedly from the 27th century, he has Reach technology and travels through time antagonizing Booster and Jaime, he currently has a red scarab and is the leader of the Time Stealers, he also freed Liri and Matt from Rip's prison.
I have a theory that Max Lord and Black Beetle are one in the same, I believe that in the upcoming events of JL:GL, Max will kill jaime and take his suit, thus becoming Black Beetle.
I've seen Michael C. Hall chosen for Max Lord before, and I thought it was a great choice, MCH is one of the best actors around, and he's amazingly good at being bad.
His credits include: Dexter, Six Feet Under, Gamer and Paycheck.
