People, people, come on! Everyone has picked Brandon Routh as superman? I liked the movie, sure, but i would never pick him if I had a choice. C'mon now. Dig deep. Think! Who would really be good for these roles. Not just of what teenage heart-throb of the last 6 months would be good, but, of all actors avaliable today!First of all, which green lantern are we talking about here? People have assumed Hal Jordan, but he left (demolished) the GL corpse ages ago. I think a new JLA would cast the young buck (i forget his name).
Also, I personally feel most superheroes should be played by relative unknown actors because, if history is any lesson (catwoman, daredevil, the league, elektra), casting a star in the lead is a kiss of death for comic movies.
But since we can't cast unknowns 'cause we don't know them, here's my list:
Superman: Ben Kingsley (25 years ago, it'd be Paul Newman)
Batman: Denzel Washington
Wonder Woman: Vivica A Fox (15 Years ago, it'd be Cher)
Green Lantern: Johnny Depp
Flash: Matt Damon (though I like Reynolds for this too)
Martian Manhunter: Anthony Hopkins
Aquaman: Chris Cooper
Green Arrow: Harrison Ford
Plasticman: Jim Carrey of course
Powergirl: Jodie Foster
Vixen: Queen Latifah
