Here we go again...

Well I've done a few lists in the past and this time we have my personally compiled list of who I think should play in an ultimate cool Justice League of America movie, were it to ever be made. This is pretty much just for the comic geeks.

Batman:

For Batman it's gotta be Keaton. I don't care what anyone says or how good Batman Begins was, Mikey Keaton will always be the Dark Knight in my heart. Fuck that sounded gay...

Superman:

Hmmm tough call on this one. You need someone who is tough but also is total white bred American... I think if I were to be casting this movie I would be seriously pulling for Tom Welling to put on the tights. He rocks as young Clark and would only need to buff up a bit more.

Wonder Woman:

Ahhhh the beauty that is Wonder Woman would be no one but the lovely Rachel Bilson from The O.C. She already sorta played the part when she dressed up for Seth in the first season. It truly is the stuff dreams are made of. Only problem is she's a little to short, so I'll take Charisma Carpenter as a substitute for height reasons.

Martian Manhunter:

Who can play a big green alien better than anyone? No seriously. Who? I can't think of anyone for this role so I'm throwing in a random name here... Ummm... Julian McMahon actually! He would rock this role!

Flash:

Cocky, brash and totally full of one-liners, look no further than Ryan Reynolds! This guy would be an awesome Flash and he's already been in Blade 3 so he has the comic book movie background. Also he's been rumored to play the Flash in a big screen adaptation should one ever take place. Oh yeah and my Flash is non other than Wally West, no Bart or Barry or Jay.

Green Lantern:

Hal Jordan all the way here baby. He is the only true Green Lantern and as such he'd have to be played by a fearless test pilot type. Hmmm... Affleck! That guy was the bomb in Phantoms. Like Reynolds he has the comic background with Daredevil and I could completely see him in this role.

Green Arrow:

Well this has to be a guy who doesn't look stupid with a bow and arrow so Costner is right out after Robin Hood: Prince of Queers. I think for this role we'd need to have the always awesome Christian Bale. He'd make a much better Ollie Queen than he did a Bruce Wayne.

Black Canary:

Just for the fact she'd be wearing fishnets I'm gonna go with Estella Warren. Yowza! She would be a great addition to the team bringing some amazing... assets, yeah that's it... assets.

Aquaman:

Adrian Grenier was playing an actor playing Aquaman on Entourage and he'd be my Aquaman too. Life imitates art imitating life imitating a guy who talks to fish.

Now on to the bad guys...

Lex Luthor:

In another Smallville nod I think I would take Michael Rosenbaum. He is pretty devious and an underrated actor. I think he'd pull this off nicely.

The Joker:

I'm thinking maybe Cillian Murphy. He'd be a creepy as fuck laughing clown prince of crime. Already a Bat villain as the Scarecrow, but this would be a way better role for him. And besides it's my movie.

Cheetah:

I would love to see Angelina Jolie in this cat suit. It would put Michelle's Catwoman to shame. Fuck it'd be hot.

Sinestro:

Adam Baldwin from Serenity. Not the accursed brother Baldwin. Eew. Those guys suck ass. This Baldwin would bring the right amount of wit and charm to this classic ring slinging villain.

Despero:

Ving Rhames. Big bad and full of attitude. This fucker would be scary as hell in this role. Even with a purple fin on his head.





And I'd throw in Jason Lee somewhere as something because I believe he should be in pretty much everything. Maybe Snapper Carr or Egghead. Either way he's great.

So that's my movie in a nutshell. The special effects would be ILM of course, and the score would be John Williams and Danny Elfman collaborating. Directed by non other than Joel Schumacher! Just kidding! I think I would actually go with Bryan Singer directing an original Geoff Johns script. Too bad it would cost about $500 million to make... Oh well... I can dream.

Agree? Disagree? Comment away with what you think.
