Hey, Who would you cast for a Justice League movie? How about...

Superman-Brandon Routh
Batman- Christian Bale
Flash- Ryan Reynolds
Wonder Woman- Evangeline Lilly
Aquaman - Justin Hartley
Martian Manhunter- Billy Zane
Green Lantern- Earl Poitier

Braniac- Michael Madsen

Directed by Peter Jackson*

I know you think I'm just going for the standard fanboy answer by if PJ should direct any comic movie, it should be the JLA as he knows how to many many different character types and an epic storyline

Peter Jackson......muahahah, whaaaaaaaaaatever! I like PJ, but not for this wannabe movie, they will never ever make this movie cause Hollywood likes money and wont use all those comic book rights to make us happy lol.

I totally agree with most of your choices. Superman, Batman, Flash (as Wally), and Wonder Woman are my perfect choices.

I think Justin Hartley was a good Aquaman, but I think he is doing a better job as Green Arrow on Smallville. I think Alan Ritchson is better as Aquaman. I see the royal power in Alan's Aquaman. Justin can pull of the arragance that works as Ollie.

My choice for Martian Manhunter is Christopher Judge (Teal'c from Stargate SG-1). It is kinda type-casting, but Teal'c is how I see Martian Manhunter. Plus, he looks the part.

I have a few choices for Green Lantern, depending on which Lantern they use. Here are my choices:

Hal Jordan - Adam Baldwin
John Stewert - Will Smith
Guy Gardner - Zach Ward
Kyle Rayner - Shawn Ashmore or Shane West

I haven't decided who should direct it.

I have a list of about 40 heroes and who I think should play them. If you want to see the list, e-mail me at [email protected]. Use the subject "JLA Cast" so I know it's not spam.

The director should be Bryan Singer.He knows pretty well of such movies(Xmen.X2,Superman returns).

Personally I think Bryan Singer is far better at directing a cast of different heroes (X-Men) compared to just one superhero (Superman Returns). So without a doubt, I think he could do this. Just, please, for the love of God, don't mess up the next Superman movie!

Its funny, I was thinking Shane West could play Bruce Wayne if he was ever on Smallville.

I am with you on that one.

This would be my choices:

Superman-Brandon Routh
Batman- Christian Bale
Flash (Wally West)- Ryan Reynolds
Wonder Woman- Eliza Dushku
Aquaman - Alan Ritchson
Martian Manhunter- Michael Jai White
Green Lantern (John Stewart)- Corey Reynolds

Hawkgirl (Shayera Hol)- Marisol Nichols

I realize a lot of fans would prefer an actor like Will Smith for John Stewart/Green Lantern, but a Justice League movie would be expensive enough with Brandon Routh AND Christian Bale on board. My feeling is the less a studio would have to spend, the more they'd be happy to take on a project like this.

My choice for director would be Kevin Smith. Almost everything I've read about him says he'd love to do a superhero movie.

Batman- Christan Bale (he was born for that part)
Supeman- Bradon Routh (he looks and acts the part)
Flash- Ryan Reynold (You can't argue with that one)
Wonder Woman- Kate Beckinsale (shes a good option)
Aquaman-(personally i don't like aquaman so i don't think he should be in it)But if he was in it i'd pick Dax Shepard.
Green Latern(John Stewart)- Denzel Washington(he would be awsome for that role)
Hawkgirl- Michelle McClatchy (not sure on that one but still)
Martian Manhunter-Arnold Schwarzenegger, Samual L. Jackson, or Phil Morris
