Yikes, that looks like a terrible cast. It would be so silly.

Cavill as Superman. If not him maybe Matt Bomer. I like Edgerton or Waldu as Batman. Oyelowo as Stewart or Pine as Jordan. A friend suggested Gemma Arterton as Wonder Woman. After the Hobbit maybe Lee Pace will breakout and be on Warner's radar for a role (any really)

the safest bet is recasting bale and carvill as batman and superman to market it as the first on-screen/live-action batman/superman team-up. Use other JL members as supporting for larger roles in the sequel. Probably they put terms and conditions regarding possible JL movie in carvill's contract but bale wouldn't come back and it'd be wise of him not to do.

Warner Bros is on the verge of a mess. That's why they split out The Hobbit and are working on Magic Mike 2-they're so desperate and pathetic. Look what happened with Dark Knight Rises-Nolan didn't wanna do it, they persisted and underwhelmed and disappointed many. Man of Steel is stil a huge question mark. Then you need to consider the other releases- Gatsby, Gravity, Gangster Squad, Jack the slayer, Warner bros will do whatever they can to keep a franchise

the concept of bradley cooper as green lantern is a mathematically perfect combination of unappealing meets boring. like celery flavored jell-o or something

Aside from Winstead I disagree with the entire list but then again Justice League is a stupid idea. Almost every character in it is more interesting on its own than as part of a team but I guess because Avenger was a big hit this just HAS to happen. I feel way more interested in seeing the Batman reboot go well and Superman and Wonder Woman startng successful franchises than this and I think starting with a team up is going to impede that, I mean how many good JL storylines are there in the comics compared to great Batman storylines or Superman?

SUPERMAN- Henry Cavill
BATMAN- Joel Edgerton
WONDER WOMAN- Gina Carano/Kate Beckinsale
GREEN LANTERN- Ryan Reynolds assuming or Bradley Cooper or Nate Parker
FLASH- John Kransinski

i didnt read page 2 but i have to comment RIGHT NOW, after seeing page 1 – BRAVO, THE PLAYLIST! U CALL JUSTIN TMBERLAKE B/C LIST =) i seriously cant stand Hollywood trying to pimp/hype him as the new leading man. He played the same role (HIMSELF) in his commercial success – TSN / BT / FWB! I know he can make money overseas but whatever. If A-List means chasing roles in "In Time" then JT, u can call yourself A-List.

Well, what type of movie is this going to be? A comedy like The Avengers? Or a drama more like The Dark Knight and Man of Steel?

Armie Hammer = Batman.
Bradley Cooper = Green Lantern
Garrett Hedlund = Flash.
Brandon Routh = Superman.
Idris Elba = Martian Man Hunter
Jessica Biel = Wonder Woman

Aside from Cavill, that cast is a fucking joke… I'm assuming The Playlist doesn't know jackshit about superheroes.

I want Emily Blunt for Wonder Woman & Armie Hammer 4 Batman! After all, Armie is a RICH dude – look @ his interview and his manor -.- though he has some similarities with Henry, look-wise. As for Emily, I post this because of that movie "All you need is Kill" – if EB deliver the action scenes then WB should consider hiring her 4 JL and hyping AYNIK at the same time.

I'd give the Justice League film to Rian Johnson.

Here's my picks for The Justice League movie:

Superman / Clark Kent – Henry Cavill.
Batman / Bruce Wayne – Christian Bale / Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Wonder Woman – Gina Carano / Olivia Wilde.
…Green Lantern – Ryan Reynolds.
Flash – Robert Pattinson.
Aquaman – Ian Somerhalder / Jensen Ackles.
Martian Manhunter – Dwayne Johnson / Will Smith.

Directed by Zack Snyder.
Produced by Christopher Nolan.

Some good shouts. I think Joel Kinnaman would actually make a good Flash.

I've always liked http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0047248/ this dude (Eion Bailey ) for Batman, I know he'd been rumoured for the gig around the same time as Cillian Murphy and just before for Bale got it.

Zoe Saldana may actually be too thin to be Wonder Woman but I do like an ethnically tinged choice so I'd have to go with Rosario Dawson. Otherwise I do like Alison Williams.

David Boreanaz was great as the Green Lantern in ' Justice League: The New Frontier', animated thing a few years ago, it's probably still my favourite of the DC animated movies.

And Yes they should attempt to get Brad Bird on this.

Can't say I'm on board with all of your choices, but I have to agree 100% with Scoot McNairy for The Flash. McNairy has great comedic timing and is very impressive with the dramatic/serious stuff. Having said that, the idea of a Justice League movie is completely uninteresting. I don't know what the tone of it will be, but if they are trying to emulate The Avengers in every possible way then they've set themselves up to failure. Warner Bros. needs to step back and reconsider what they're doing, or else they'll just make another Green Lantern-style mistake.

I say Nicholas Cage should play all the characters

Bradley Cooper might be too big these days because The Words was such a smashing success?

So Cavill hasn't impressed you yet but your own suggestions are supposed to be good?
Seriously?
The list aside from Cavill is a joke.

This movie doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I really hope I'm wrong because if they get the movie right it will be a huge hit(even bigger than avengers I think,DC characters are more interesting)

Oh and what about Aquaman and Martian Manhunter??

Oliver laid out the reasons why WB will probably be courting non-famous names for this project; readers complain about how lame the list looks. Maybe so, but to me that seems more indicative of the problem facing WB than it does of Oliver's taste.

I often wonder why Gina Carano is consistently omitted from the potential roster for Wonder Woman. She has excellent physicality along with a hardened demeanor and a beautiful face.

You guys sure are thinking about this a lot harder than anybody actually working on it will.

Henry Cavill and Ryan Reynolds need to be Superman and Green Lantern.

This isn't up for debate. They NEED to be Superman and Green Lantern.

What made the Marvel films work was the 'shared universe' , and using the same actors from film to film. Batman needs to be recast because the Nolanverse was a self contained thing that is over now. Batman must be the only recast actor. From here on in, it's shared universe time.

Even those who foolishly disliked the 2011 Green Lantern movie usually agree that Ryan Reynolds was great in the role and that their problems were script based, not actor based. And Cavill looks like he'll make for a great Superman.

So lock those two down. Set those two in stone. As for Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, AquaMan and Cyborg? It's anyone's guest.

But no way no how can Henry Cavill and Ryan Reynolds be recast. They are required.

I would have gone with:

Superman – Jon Hamm
Batman – Rupert Penry-Jones
Green Lantern – David Oyelowo
Wonder Woman – Robyn Lawley
Flash – Donald Glover
Martian Manhunter – Andy Serkis

Directed by Brad Bird
