Director - Zack Snyder
I know people love to hate on him, but I dig his movies. Everything from Dawn of the Dead to Man of Steel and I'm really excited for this next one.
Superman - Henry Cavill & Batman - Ben Affleck After the destruction of Metropolis, Batman travels to investigate the alien called Superman. At the same time, Bruce Wayne is in town to meet with Lex Luthor about how Wayne Enterprises can lend a hand to the broken city. Wayne learns of Luthor's loathing for Superman, his powers and how far Luthor is willing to go to take down "the man of steel".
Outside of these meetings, he is greeted by reporters, Lois Lane and Clark Kent. To bilk information from Lane, he invites her to dinner which irks Clark to a degree. During their dinner, Lois begins supplying Bruce with unfavorable information about Luthor, refusing to give up Superman's identity. Bruce does try to pick up Lois, realizing there is an attraction there, but she kindly declines his offer for a nightcap.
Thanks to Lane's information, Wayne uncovers some disgusting overseas business habits of Luthor's that were recently undone by Superman and Lex's ulterior motives for helping the city. Realizing who the real villain is, Wayne Enterprises pulls out of business with LexCorp.
Frustrated, Lex Luthor busts out his War Suit, designed by Winslow Schott (aka The Toyman), LexCorp's top engineer to hypothetically take down Superman.
That's pretty much what I have in a nutshell. I think it's pretty basic and obviously the story could use some work, but I'm tired and not getting paid for this so what are you gonna do?
Lois Lane - Amy Adams I knew she would be a great Lois Lane, I just hoped there was more of her and that she was a little more take charge, like she was in
The Fighter, but not as aggressive. Also, I appreciated that she wasn't stupid and figured out Superman's identity early on. That's always bugged me.
Alfred Pennyworth - Bill Nighy In this film, I'd like to see Alfred travel to Metropolis with Bruce and have an Oracle sort of set-up in the hotel for when Bruce goes out as Batman.
Bill Nighy could be like no other Alfred we've seen before. He's an energetic older actor from films such as the
Underworld movies,
Shaun of the Dead,
Hot Fuzz, the
Pirates of the Caribbean movies,
The Boat The Rocked,
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,
Wrath of the Titans,
Total Recall,
Jack the Giant Slayer and most recently, the narrator in
The World's End.
Lex Luthor - Billy Zane I've wanted to see Billy Zane play Lex Luthor since Bryan Singer was first announced to direct Superman back in 2005. He plays that smug asshole part so well. That said, the part will likely go to Bryan Cranston or Mark Strong, which isn't bad, but... Billy Zane.
Mercy Graves - Ronda Rousey MMA fighter, Ronda Rousey is the perfect fit for Mercy Graves and an excellent character to introduce the Amazons, expanding the DC universe even further.
Toyman / Winslow Schott - Luis Guzmán Winslow Schott is a weapons designer for LexCorp, who building high-tech weaponry and some other things for his own amusement. Schott eventually becomes "Toyman".
Bruno Mannheim - Dominic West Bruno Mannheim is a gangster by trade, but in the film, I would like to see him in a LexCorp supervisory position.
Angela Chen - Jamie Cheung Lois Lane's younger professional rival, both reporters trying to get the scoop on the mysterious secret dealings in Metropolis.
After Bruce and Clark become friends, as a sign of solidarity, Bruce Wayne brings Angela as his date, deterring any feelings Lois may have had toward him.
Bibbo Bibbowski - Irwin Keyes Even if it's only a cameo, I gotta see Bibbo.
