Author’s Notes:
Dear CBM’s friends,
First I would like to thanks you by the attention and interest given to my Fancasts.
By months, I’m trying to create my point of view of this universe composed for a magnificent number of legendary and iconic characters of the comic book stories.
So I believe these characters deserve a better kind of films in the theaters, except Batman. I think that these characters deserve to be respected by the cinematic industry because of their historical roles in the world.
I want to see quality films about these characters and I don't want to watch films made only with an idiot answer to an idiot battle created by idiot fanboys.
I think the DC universe in theaters needs to be created only to your fans and general public, but with good quality films.
This Fancast was created by the reunion between my others five fancasts ( Batman – The Caped Crusader, Superman & Batman – Alter Ego, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and The Flash ) and the two films (Green Lantern and Man of Steel). I believe that the Green Lantern deserves a sequence, but with a good story and director. I believe in the Man of Steel film and I think that it will be a good quality film.
I created this universe with some elements that I think necessary to be explored in the theaters. I changed some things about the characters but I kept the essential things.
Finally, if somebody linked to cinematic industry responsible by DC's films is reading this note, I ask you in the name of all comic books’ lovers that help us to save the respect of this comic book universe in the theaters. I know that the Batman's trilogy is amazing, but I want to watch others DC's characters in the theaters and I want to watch good quality films and not a stupid marketing film created to an idiot battle between two legendary and iconic comic book industries.
Thanks for your attention and consideration,
The Fancast’s author.

Understanding the universe in the theaters
Previously on this universe:
After the events linked to extraterrestrial activities happened in Metropolis and Coast City, the government met a group of scientists led by Amanda Waller and began a project about the development of weapons against this kind of activity.
First Amanda Waller tried to bring the Wayne Enterprises to her project, but the billionaire Bruce Wayne not agreed with the development of lethal weapons and abandoned the project alongside of others great peaceful scientists like the Professor Ira West.
Because of these events, Amanda Waller was forced to contact the LexCorp Incorporated that have some suspicious activities involving Lex Luthor, the Company President.
Luthor doesn't like of the superhero called Superman because he thinks that Superman is a threat to the mankind then he used all your influence to destroy the Man of Steel including your connections with the worldwide underworld. Then he hired the psycho criminal known as Joker to destroy the hero with bullets forged using a mineral known as kryptonite. But the criminal was arrested by Superman and the Gotham City's hero, Batman who is the billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne.
Because of this, Superman and Batman created a kind of mutual respect between themselves and swore investigate the suspect activities of Luthor closer. As signal of their partnership, Superman gave a kind of communicator to Batman and also the rest of the kryptonite bullets to be destroyed.
At submerged world, a new king named Orin assumed the throne of Atlantis after of the battle against his tyrant half-brother called Orm Marius and against the mercenary-pirate known as Black Manta who was hired by Orm Marius to kill Orin when his brother lived in the world of surface.
During his battle, first Orin stopped Orm to use a kind of weapon able to cause the elevation of the oceans but after he was forced to join forces with his half-brother to stop the invasion, stealing and destruction of Atlantis by Black Manta.
After Superman and Batman forged their partnership, a woman called Diana used her super powers to help the U.S. army against the powers of the god of war, Ares, and of the sorceress Circe. Because of these actions, Diana is named by the soldiers of the army as Wonder Woman.
In Central City, the forensic scientist called Barry Allen became the fastest man in the world after an accident in his laboratory. So Barry took the name of Flash and began to chase a serial killer called Mirror Master who was killing some people linked to the government project known as Project Cadmus. Soon was revealed that the Mirror Master was the mercenary named Evan McCulloch who was hired by the scientist Sam Scudder to kill the others scientists that knew about the Scudder's invention that was able to created wormholes using mirrors.
Meanwhile the news about heroes grow around the world, the government's project about weapons development was reinforced with the joining of persons like the politician and businessman Maxwell Lord and two scientists: the Professor Emil Hamilton and the Professor Anthony Ivo who was the responsible by the creation of an Android with Modification Ability from Zone-One (A.M.A.Z.O.) by using a martian nanotechnology that was brought by the martian, J’onn J’onzz.

The Main Enemy
Jason Momoa as Android with Modification Ability from Zone-One (A.M.A.Z.O.)
I think that he’s a great choice for this role because I like the way that he played his role in Game of Thrones (TV series) and I believe that he’ll play my version of this character very well. I considered Dominic Purcell but my final choice is Jason Momoa.
Character:
After the events linked to extraterrestrial activities happened in Metropolis and Coast City, the government met a group of scientists led by Amanda Waller and began a project about the development of weapons against this kind of activity.
Then the Professor Anthony Ivo created an Android with Modification Ability from Zone-One (A.M.A.Z.O.). The term Zone-One is a type of classification related with absorption cells technology and nanotechnology presents in the android.
These technologies are the responsible by the ability of adaptation of the android that was programmed using the martian nanotechnology that was brought by the martian, J’onn J’onzz.
The Amazo was programmed by his creator using a kind of artificial intelligence system called Brother-Eye that uses the O.M.A.C (Observational Meta-human Activity Construct) protocol to spy any meta-human activity around the world.
The Brother-Eye was created by the Wayne Enterprises to be one surveillance system against possible extraterrestrial invasions but when the Wayne Enterprises realized that the government was developing lethal weapons, the billionaire Bruce Wayne abandoned the system that was hacking and upgraded by Maxwell Lord with the O.M.A.C. protocol to be used by the Project Cadmus.
The Supporting Characters
Noah Taylor as Professor Anthony Ivo
I choose him because of his roles in Almost Famous (2000), Shine (1996) and Tomb Raider films (2001 and 2003). I believe that he’s a good actor with some charisma. I think that Taylor is able to play this version of the character.
The Character:
The Professor Anthony Ivo is the creator of the android A.M.A.Z.O. (Android with Modification Ability from Zone-One) that was created by the Project Cadmus to be the guardian of the world against possible meta-humans and extraterrestrial attacks. Ivo used the martian technology brought by the martian, J’onn J’onzz, to create his android with absorption cells.
Anthony Ivo was hired by Amanda Waller to develop lethal weapons for the Project Cadmus, which is the responsible by the technologies used in his invention. Ivo has a rare incurable disease, but a mysterious figure promised the cure of his disease in exchange of his loyalty and services: Perform sabotage in his own invention and in the artificial intelligence system, the Brother-Eye.
But this action may create a kind of battle between the machines and the mankind.

Mila Kunis as Mysterious woman
I I choose her because I think she is a good actress and I would like to see her playing this role. I thought about many actresses like Olivia Wilde, Bojana Novakovic, Violante Placido, Peyton List, Olga Kurylenko, Eva Mendes, Eliza Dushku, Yvonne Strahovski and Taylor Cole, but my final choice is Mila Kunis. I think that she’s perfect for this role principally because of her beauty and the way that she played women with powerful personalities in films like Black Swan, Max Payne and The Book of Eli. I believe that she have a big potential that needs to be worked and I really love her amazing eyes and euro-asian features that remember the character's personality.
The Storyline
After the events linked to extraterrestrial activities in Metropolis and Coast City, the world government organized a group of scientists led by Amanda Waller and began to develop weapons against this kind of activity. So the government created the Project Cadmus.
One of the weapons created by the project was the artificial intelligence known as Brother-Eye that uses the computer program, O.M.A.C. protocol, to spy any meta-human activity around the world.
But when the artificial intelligence Brother-Eye proclaims war between humans and machines, the mankind needs to summon the greatest heroes of the Earth for the battle against the machines including the android called Amazo, the machines' leader.

Superman: Why won't it work, Bruce?
Batman: It's not easy live in team, because we have the conflict of personalities and everything is different. We have a man that runs in mach 4, a marcian, a man with one energy extraterrestrial ring, an atlantean warrior and a pretty and powerful amazon. And you are a kryptonian.
Superman: He runs in mach 6... Yes, we are all these things that you said. But we need you. We need someone to show us which our mission is: protect the world and the mankind. And you are this person, my friend. Do you accept to join us in our journey?
