Justice League of America
The new JLA movie is slated for a 2010 release and there is already alot of hype about it. One just instance is casting. It has been announced that the director would be casting unknowns for the lead roles. This is o.k. in some instances but I believe the film will be better recieved if some of the parts were played by actors which have already played in the roles before. I enjoy casting movies (see my A-Team post) so I thought I would give this one a try. So let's get the obvious out of the way first:
Superman-Dean Cain
Per the voting here on my blog, Dean Cain edges out Brandon Routh to win this role. I don't think anyone could play this role better, although I could be wrong.
Batman-Christian Bale
There is noone who can play this role as good. I know I'm am not wrong about this.
Martian Manhunter-Lawrence Fishburne
Fishburne has the acting ability, voice, and the look (aside from a little green coloring) to play this role.
Aquaman-James Marsden
People often overlook this character but that is a shame. Aquaman is one of DC's most underestimated heroes. Marsden, known for playing Cyclops in the X-Men Trilogy, could pull off this role easily. He just needs to bleach his hair blonde.
Green Lantern-Michael Jai White
It was announced that Green Lantern was going to be in the movie but they failed to mention which one. I picked Jon Stewart because he was the easiest one to cast. Just look, if you can pick a better Jon Stewart just leave a comment, but I don't think that would be possible.
Flash-Adam Brody
It was rumored that Brody was cast to play the Flash in the actual JLA movie. This is one bit of casting I agree with. With Wally West (Flash) being the youngest member of the team I think this guy could be pretty good (with a little red hair coloring).
Wonder Woman-???????
I haven't been able to narrow down who I think should play Wonder Woman yet. I do have 2 choices though. I would like to hear who you think would be a good choice so leave a comment if you wish. My 2 choices are:
Megan Gale
This is who (rumor says) was picked to play the part in the movie. She certainly looks close enough to the part. I am reluctant to just pick her because I have never seen her act. I know she is a supermodel, but that doesn't necessarily translate to acting.
Jessica Beil
She has shown her action ability in Blade Trinity. I believe she could play the role well, I'm just not certain that she has "the look".
There were my choices if you have more or disagree please leave a comment, I love feedback. I think these actors and actresses would play the parts well. I'm the Eyeball and That's What I See.

I heard on G4 that plans for a JLA film have been scrapped, partly because of the writer's strike.
Have you heard anything to that effect?
Thanks for the comment. I hadn't heard that. Maybe I will "sniff" around and see what I can find. Even if the actors playing the parts will be unknowns, it would suck if they had to scrap the movie.
