First let me tell you who Vandal Savage is -
Vandal Savage... A Primitive Man in DC universe... Born 40,000 years ago.... He with his primitive group Witness a Meteor fall on ground during a meteor shower.... His other Group member got afraid and ran away.... He stayed and sleep with the hot meteor in that cold night....
from the next day(back in 40,000 BC.) He became a Super Human, capable of Super Brain, and Regenerating his Body from damage at a high speed and never aging..
He have been in many profession, but mostly as a "conqueror" willing to rule human kind...
his last wish that I know of is to make Earth the new center of Galactic Union.
I saw Vandal Savage first time as a villain in Justice League Animated series. He was one ruthless villain manipulating things behind the scenes living through the ages and an amazing backup story. This was the time I became fan of this character.
Later he showed up in Justice League Doom where he was cleverly written in place of Ra's Al Ghul and without having close ties to Batman he managed to steal his plans and kick Justice League's ass. And then if that was no impressive he showed up on Young Justice ( I still curse the people who canceled the show) manipulating the series of events with The Light that put Justice League in trouble on universal level.
I've been reading Vandal's origins in Demon Knights and let me tell you it is equally badass. The way he is portrayed in that series one can imagine what would have caused him to become what he is now.
The best thing about this guy is that he never shows up by himself but instead he manipulates a chain of events that lead to the story. He is a mix of Ra's Al Ghul and Lex Luthor and still more powerful than both of them and as a movie villain he'll be 100 times better than Darksied. For a Nolan'ish movie (that I wont prefer but seems like the ultimate fate) he is the best option for a realistic villain that is not from Batman's rogue gallery.
I really want to see this guy on screen. If Marvel had to introduce this guy as Ultimate villain they would have done that by either making a Blackhawks or some DC movie set in World War 2 then later putting him against JSA in a Justice Society of America movie and then slowly clearing his intentions with individual Superhero movies end credits. But because that is not going to happen and Warner Bros want a Justice League movie by 2015 so the best option is to introduce him in a Legion of Doom or Secret Society type storyline or show him manipulating Project Cadmus.
I wont make it long, hope you guys understood what I meant. So in the end here is the actor I'll like to play him on screen.
I've heard that Comic Book Movie makers read this site so if they get the idea then do give me some credit.
