Assuming that WB ever gets this running properly, who would you cast as each character, and why? At present, it seems Henry Cavill will likely be Superman, but that could change if the JLA project gets delayed much further.
Here's some of my own ideas...
Aquaman - Justin Hartley
Yes, I know he played Oliver Queen on "Smallville", but before that, he made a pilot for a series called Mercy Reef, about a young Arthur Curry. It didn't get picked up, but it became a huge sensation online, and Justin's about the right age now to portray a more mature version of the character.
Green Lantern - Ryan Reynolds
He's already played the role once, and I really think he deserves another shot. Yes, the effects were a little cheesy, but c'mon...what did you expect objects made from green alien energy to look like? It almost reminded me of the Fortress crystal from the first Superman film. Get director Martin Campbell back on board, and he could easily knock it out of the park. The man did "Goldeneye", "The Mask of Zorro", and "Casino Royale"...he knows how to do good movies.
Wonder Woman - Eva Green
She's already worked with Martin Campbell, and looks exotic enough to play an otherworldly princess. Get her to bulk up some, and do fight training. She's a little short at 5'6", but camera tricks and heels could make up the difference. If it wasn't for her playing Catwoman, I'd have suggested Anne Hathaway.
Batman - Brendan Fehr
Anyone who's seen him in "Roswell" or "CSI: Miami" knows he can play both brooding and a tech geek. Joseph Gordon-Levitt has already said he's not interested, so I thought this would be an interesting choice.
The Flash - Garrett Hedlund
He's already worked with Disney on "Tron: Legacy", and he can do both brave and a smartass really well. Personally, I'd prefer they go with the Barry Allen version, but Wally or even Bart could work too. Another pick would be Hayden Christensen, because he has good emotional range.
Cyborg - Edi Gathegi
I liked him as Darwin in "X-Men: First Class", but he was sorely underused. Killing him off wasn't a good choice, either.
