The DCCU, Where it Stands.

The DCCU, Where it Stands.

What the recent cast changes have done and can do for the DCCU.

So, The DCCU has been rapidly expanding in terms of casting in the past month or so. Many rumors have been shot done or credited as well. So far, in Man of Steel 2 (I refuse to think WB will do Batman vs. Superman which is only a small class above movies like Alien vs. Predator), a new Batman will be intorduced, Wonder Woman will be intorudced, the Flash is will make a cameo. This. Is. Awesome. I've read that a lot of people speculate that "Batman vs. Superman" is a cover for a Justice League movie, but come on, would Warner Bros. one of the BIGGEST movie studios in the world just rush into something that has barely passed infancy? or has it…

Earlier today, I watched a video where Stephen Amell (of "Arrow") stated that he beleives that the charcters of Arrow and the characters of DCCU are being portrayed as the definitive versions of the characters. Not one charcter is better adapted for television or film, they are the root and core of the character, so in that sense, the characters of Arrow and the DCCU can merge together. I think this has become pretty obvious with the casting of Gal Gadot. I think that Warner Bros. is definietely taking the root and core approach, they found an actress who they think will portray Wonder Woman not as a film icon or a huge feminist symbol, but as an Amazonian Warrior Princess. They could very easily have chosen a big name actress to play the part which to me would have said "We are the DCCU, that is Arrow, they're seaparate." But they didn't, they chose a relatively unknown actress to play the part meaning they want Wonder Woman, not Yadda Yadda PLAYING Wonder Woman.

So, with that, I'm proposing that the DCCU and Arrow will begin to share a universe. Grant Gustin was great as Barry Allen on Arrow and since he is getting his own pilot, his cameo makes much more sense. There wouldn't have to be an origin story, he could just be there.

Here's my cast:

Superman: Henry Cavill



Batman: Ben Affleck


Wonder Woman: Gal Gadot


Green Latnern (Personal Choice)- Hal Jordan: Jensen Ackles


The Flash- Barry Allen: Grant Gustin


Aquaman (Personal Choice): Brett Tucker


Martian Manhunter (Personal Choice): Lance Reddik



I think that eventually the league should expand out in a sequel or two to DEFINETELY include Stephen Amell and Katie Cassidy (once she finally turns into Black Canary).

Green Arrow: Stephen Amell


Black Canary: Katie Cassidy



Just as a fan's opinion, I strongly hope that they do cast Joquin Phoenix as Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor (Predicted Casting): Joaquin Phoenix

I do like Lance Reddick as Martian Manhunter. I like that idea a lot.

Jensen Ackles, I'm not sure of. But that is based primarily on Smallville, so I'd be willing to give him a try. I know someone who watches Supernatural and loves him.

If you want to tie it into Arrow, use Caity Lotz's Black Canary. Sara Lance is much more interesting than Laurel Lance. Besides, Laurel is the worst character on the show.

I like your picks for Martian Manhunter and Aquaman. And for a first Justice League movie, stick to the original 7.

@PrinceOfCrime Cuz he needs to be with the Teen Titans where he belongs. He hasn't accomplished jack on the team so far.

Let's just stick to the classic roster:

I seriously doubt that Laurel will become Black Canary. Sara is ALREADY Black Canary, and she's way more interesting and entertaining than Laurel ever was.

Making Laurel Black Canary would be a terrible move and the writers are better than that. It's not gonna happen.

They have definetely said that Sara is starting the road of Laurel becoming Black Canary. I refuse to believe that they would stray from the comics in such a huge manor
