Henry Cavill, Superman and Ben Affleck, Batman;
It's a given that both stars will reprise their roles as these heroes even after the Superman/Batman movie, I dare even think it's safe to say possibly numerous times even after a Justice League ensemble. Now going into little detail about what I thought of Cavill as the man of steel, even though I didn't particularly like Man Of Steel I still found that they chose a pretty decent solid actor to give the performance, my quick thoughts on the film intself before I get into Batfleck territory are that the writing wasn't all that hot which is something that I hope Affleck has some say on in the sequel/team up which rumour's already out that he most likely will which isn't all that of a shock, and another thing that was just painful for me to sit and watch was Snyder trying to channel Nolan. Now I know I may be a minority on this but I just felt as though that he thought since Nolan directed the Dark Knight trilogy and is producer on Snyder's film that he has to try to become the Christopher Nolan of the Batman films instead of Zack Snyder of the Superman films, with the dark tone and angsty colours which isn't who Superman is at all. Sure that kind of approach worked perfectly for Batman but that's because he's the freaking dark knight! He's supposed to be grittier and darker than Superman because Superman has always been the upbeat and colourful and kind of cheesy but we never minded that in the slightest because that was his character and we all loved it! And another thing on top of that is Superman and Batman are polar opposites which is why they work so well when they either share the screen or even a panel together, Batman was the rich kid with a shitty ass life and Superman was just a farm boy from Kansas who didn't care for riches and who didn't need revenge or a horrible childhood as a motivator to become the savior of Metropolis that he is today! They both have their own pain that they never hold against each other which makes them more interesting as friends. They both look at each other's pasts with often wonder on how their life would have been if say what happened to Bruce as a kid instead happened to Clark but they both get that because of their past that, that is who they are today and whether the tables were turned or not that is who they'll always be. What I'm trying to say is I want the director of Watchmen and 300 back, not the director of Momento and The Prestige because sometimes when one phenominal director tries to channel another even more phenominal director, it doesn't always go over all that well (see A.I.: Artificial Intelligence) because with such great directors like these two they have their own style, and I miss the Snyder that was into the bright colours that made the atmosphere of the film so much larger in a good way like with Watchmen! It worked for Nolan because he knew how dark and gritty and how far deep he should go to make the character's pain project and affect to where it does so but onto all of the supporting characters not just the hero. But I have ranted enough about that, now, onto Batfleck: at first I hated the casting, then I hated myself because after five minutes I began to love it, and now I just love it. This guy man, he is a freaking star! Phenominal director, phenominal writer, and a pretty solid actor to boot. One thing people should be forewarned about me is that once I begin to rally behind an actor or director I'm then out for blood if anybody takes a slam at them. I think that this dumbass petition to the white house is bullshit and the death threats over the internet is just pathetic and cowardly and shows how much our evolution has descended. I could go on about this for an eternity but I have already ranted enough for today so I'll have to take rain check on that one and believe me there will be wrath but I will just say now that while I didn't particularly agree with it at first, I support the decision and the act now because I like Affleck I love a lot of his movies even some of the pretty bad ones and the guy built in a freaking batcave entrance into his own home! That's freaking awesome! He loves comic books and is a great writer, director, and actor, who the hell else is better! Some teenage Jonas Brother looking guy from Teen Wolf or a stuntman who brought us Barakapool!? Not to me!
Michelle Rodriguez, Wonder Woman;
All that I can really say about this badass chick is, well, simply that. She is one mutha[frick]in' badass! I mean, she has it all! She can hold her own in a fight, she does some pretty good stunt work, she's probably one of the many coolest chicks you'll ever meet in real life, and is attractive, beautiful, and sexy! See her in the Fast & Furious francise (1, 4, and 6) and you'll get a pretty damn good idea of what I'm talking about. She's always been my choice for the Amazon Princess, I love her acting, it is so awesome so I just really hope that this actually happens someday!
Ashton Kutcher, Barry Allen (The Flash);
Ok, ok, look before you get the torches and pitch forks off the wall just hear me out. Kutcher is another one of those phenominal actors to me who can do it all; action, thriller, horror, romance, and his most creditable, comedy. The Butterfly Effect and The Guardian with Kevin Costner are only to name a couple of my favourite movies of all time. Kutcher to me knows how to deliver the lip quivering moments and the blatter on the verge of exploding moments beautifuly and I can't wait to see what he does with jOBS, but even with sitcoms like That 70's Show or Two and a half Men I still believe that he is a talented actor who doesn't get enough credit for the phenominal work he's done. I don't know, I know I'm going to be a minority on this casting choice but I don't care, I believe that with all these elements that Kutcher likes to put into his performance he could bring Barry to life brilliantly!
Tom Cruise, Hal Jordan;
IT'S FREAKING TOM CRUISE! The guy is a badass! It doesn't matter how much he ages he is still a freaking badass! He does 90% or more of his own stunts, the guy is a freaking judo master basically, he has that attitude where it is just like, "yeah, I know I'm a [frick]ing badass. Keep lookin' at me funny and I'll cut your balls off with pliars." He is just a phenominal actor who yeah unfortunatly keeps on getting these movie deals that could vey easily have Mission: Impossible slapped over the title but I think that Oblivion was a great step towards coming out of that shell of only doing James Bond/Jason Bourne styled films and I think that Hal Jordan would be a terrific career move for him!
