I have been a fan of this site for a while, and i always wanted to make my own fan-cast. Now, ill be honest ive only recently became a fan of comics about a year ago or so, so i'm not as familiar with these characters as much as others are on this site but ill try my best to do them justice. Please don't talk trash about my picks, but i would really love some constructive criticism about picks that you don't agree with to help me on my fan-casting.
Clark Kent/Superman-Johann Urb(2012, Resident evil: Retribution)
Now i know that a lot of you don't know who this pick is or where you've seen him. I my self have only seen him in two movies, those being 2012 and resident evil: retribution. Ill be honest, i was having an extremely difficult time casting the man of steel, i was almost going to give up and simply cast Henry Cavill like ive seen many times before on other fan-cast. But as i was flipping through the channels i stopped on resident evil and although the movie sucked, he did a good job and i thought that Johann Urb would make a pretty good superman. Now i know that he doesn't have have too much experience and honestly i'm not fully convinced, but in those two movies i saw glimpses of what could make a good superman. just dye his hair black and i think he could make a decent superman.
Bruce Wayne/batman-Jake Gylenhaal(Jarhead, Brothers, End of watch)
I know that this pick is not original at all, but i think that Jake Gylenhaal is the best choice for Batman. He's an amazing actor and very underrated. He has the ability to play the charming playboy that is bruce wayne, but also be able to capture the pain and darkness of batman.I even believe that he could surpass christian Bales portrayal of the character in the dark knight trilogy.
Princess Diana/Wonder Woman-Jamie Alexander
To be honest i'm very unfamiliar with Wonder Woman. This pick was mostley inspired by her performance in Thor. I know that wonder woman is a great warrior and basically an equal to superman and batman, and it was difficult to find an actress that can portray that, and i remembered she played a character that resembled that in lady sif.
Barry Allen/Flash-Jake McLaughlin(Warrior, Safe house)
with the flash i wanted to go outside of the box. while i was looking for an actor for flash i was watching safe house and Jake McLaughlin came up and i thought that he resembled Flash in way and i decided to look him up and i thought he was a pretty good actor. He was on this show called Crash, which i have never seen before, but after seeing a few clips of him i realized that he was a good actor and i think he would be a really good flash.
Hal Jordan/Green Lantern-Jensen Ackles(supernatural)
Jensen Ackles is an amazing actor. He also resembles Hal Jordan a lot. He can play many different characters and knows how to deliver every emotion that the character demands. In Supernatural H]he usually plays the jokester and the sarcastic one, but he has proven many times in the show that he can be serious, angry, sad, and violent with no problem and makes it extremly believable. I believe that he is the best choice for Hal Jordan.
Here's a video of his best moments showing his acting ablility.
(creits too avarielle on YouTube) you could just skip through parts of the video since its pretty long.
Arthur Curry/Aquaman-Phillip Winchester(Strikeback)
Credit for this pick goes to another CBM user whos name i dont know, But when i saw this choice on their fan-cast i thought this was perfect. Ive only seen Phillip Winchester on Strike back which is one of my favorite shows. He came in during the second season, when the star of the first season had to walk away due to scheduling conflict, Although he came in during the second season, he did a phenomenal job as a the co-main character. It seems that they made aquaman a complete bad ass now and i think Phillip Winchester is the perfect choice to portray that and still have a strong resemblance to the character.

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow-Charlie Hunnam(Sons Of Anarchy, Greenstreet hooligans, Pacific Rim)
Charlie Hunnam is my favorite actor on my favorite t.v. show, sons of anarchy. He's a really good actor and has a wide range of ability. He would be able to show ollies dark side with no trouble. The only thing that im not sure about is if he could play the playboy millionaire role, but im pretty sure he could pull it off.
Heres a clip of him on sons of anarchy. i used this clip to show what kind of pain he is able to portray. Wanrning: video is slightly graphic.

Victor Stone/Cyborg-Chadwick Norman(42)
I chose Chadwick Boseman in this role because pf his role in 42 were he portrays Jackie Robinson. Although i have yet to see it, He was able too show how good of an actor he is simply by the trailer, and i think that he would make a great Cyborg and bring a lot of emotion to the character.
