Possibly a JLA movie if DC gets back into the movie dealings.
Any they wouldn't use second stringers. They'd want the Superman/Batman/WW/Flash/GL/Martian Manhunter JLA. So that's out until they work out some of the problems. Of course, DC's getting ready to, pardon my french, fuck up again with the impending Catwoman movie. Clearly they haven't learned their lesson.

Julia roberts as Wonder Women? Can I get a ewww?
GL is easy, Wesly Snipers or Lawence Fishburn or Samuel L Jackson would fit the cool GL.
Is it wrong to fear that they'd sign Jim Carrey as the Flash?
Martian Manhunter'd be mostly CG wouldnt he? No problems there.
Hmm.
Maybe they could do a "Dark Knight Returns" movie, thatd kick ass.

Here's a few problems...
1. Vin Diesel is a Flash fan...he's great, he's a wonderful actor, and I love the fact he's a huge Flash Fan. Problem is he wants to PLAY the Flash. He doesn't have the look, unfortunately. Too big, for one thing.
2. John Stewart, the current GL, is only a temporary guy. He's holding the fort for Kyle Rayner til he and his fiancee come back from a jaunt in space where they're getting their heads straight. Word is the guy who plays Will from Will and Grace would be Kyle...he's the fan favorite at the moment.

Christian Bale is playing Batman in the next movie. I have high hopes...he's got the build, he's got the WASP look you need, he can play intense, and he can play charming. It's a younger Batman (Year One stuff), so it should be good. I'm looking forward to it.
The big race now is to see who'll play the lead in the recently-announced Iron Man movie. Tom Cruise has an itching to play Tony Stark/Iron Man. We'll see. He's finally maturing as an actor...could work. We'll see.

He can even take shitty B-Movie Stock and make it decent, was even the only real good part about Reign of Fire. He has the PERFECT look and Acting ability for Batman. Unlike Val Kilmer who had the best look to date, but couldn't deliver a line to save his fucking life, and Michael Keaton didn't look the part AT ALL, but was AWESOME at acting out the part. I think Christian Bale would be a good mix of the two.
Nickolas Cage as Superman would just make me hurl. He is one of the ugliest fuckers with that damn hooked nose, I SERIOUSLY do not see what a woman would vote him atractive. He is like a taller, skinner, Sylverster Stalone. He looks like he is special ed. On top of that, he CANT FUCKING ACT! What is peoples deal with him 
. In my opinion the best Supes to replace Chris Reede, is the one Supes who refuses to do it just because he said 1)He doesn't want to replace the man who he grew up with and loved, and 2)Doesn't want to be that guy who is "SUperman" like Chris Reede.. Bruce Campbell is just a HORRIBLE choice... I don't know why he would even be in there.
Catherine Zeta Jones is the ONLY actress who could pull off the look of WW and that acting potential. Did you know by some fucked up logic, Deth, Lucy Lu was in the running for WW... 
At least one of the other Candidates was Alyssa Milano, she at least has some of the exotic look, but I wouldn't trust her acting.
Halle Berry may look hot, but Catwoman she is not, and that worries me. Also I really don't think the woman can act worth shit. [ 02-02-2004: Message edited by: Faelynn LeAndris ]
John Stuart would be sooo much easier to cast for.

Christian Bale snuck up on me, in all honesty. First thing I can remember seeing him in was "American Psycho"...a HORRIFIC movie, but Bale stood out in his role. He handled the character well in a mediocre (at best) script. Then he shows up in Reign of Fire, and he was fantastic in that. Then Lyinar points out he's been acting since he was a little kid ("Empire of the Sun") and we rent that movie and he's amazing in that as a little kid! And the fact is...he can do the charming, wealthy foppish sort, he can do the ultra-intense creepy guy, and he can do the man possessed by a mission. He has the looks, the build, and he can carry himself well. I really am looking forward to seeing him in the next Batman movie.
As for Superman...oi. For close to fifteen years now, since the early 90's, people have wanted to do another Superman movie. As special effects have gotten better, people have wanted it more and more. The actor problem is killing them, though. Every generation has their Superman. Back in the 50's and 60's, it was George Reeves, in the 70's and 80's it was Christopher Reeve (no relation). I mean, even Alex Ross dedicated Kingdom Come to Christopher Reeve "Dedicated to Christopher Reeve, who made us believe a man could fly" and made Superman in KC look like Reeve on purpose. Nicolas Cage is a huge comic fan ("Cage" is the name of one of his favorite superheroes, Power Man, and Cage chose that name so he wouldn't be associated with his famous uncle Francis Ford Coppola). I think he's a decent actor; I like his work, but he couldn't pull off Superman to save his life. And the reason Bruce Campbell was mentioned is that of everyone they've mentioned, he has "the look" more than the rest do. Dean Cain would have been great (he did just fine in the Lois and Clark series, I don't care what anyone else says), but people started griping that he looked too asian. The other problem is a script for the movie. There's been something like five or six now, varying from the "Death of Superman" storyline to the basic origin story, to stories involving any of the top three or four villains of the Superman mythos (Lex Luthor, Brainiac, Mr Myxyzptlk, etc).
And yes...Wonder Woman is in trouble. The fact is that WW can't look "cute". She can't be an Alysa Milano (don't care how much she's grown up...she's still got the "cute" features), or a Sandra Bullock (another nominee for the role) or a Julia Roberts. She has to be sleek, sexy, feminine, but at the exact same time she has to command a presence, control the scene, and be an actor who can smoothly and intelligently play off the inevitable jokes along with the action scenes. Catherine Zeta Jones is the clear choice...but 1. she commands a hefty price tag these days and 2. to be blunt, there's a clock ticking on her.
As for Catwoman...eccch...Michelle Pfeiffer did it first, did it closest, did it best. The costume was fantastic, the attitude was perfect, the sexiness was coy but feline. Halle Berry is attractive, but they're trying to jam a square peg in a round slot. I could even (and this is going to sound terribly racist) overlook the fact she's black. But she's just not the right sort of person, doesn't exude the right sort of sexiness, the right attitude, and the costume from production stills sucks ass. Plus they're butchering the Catwoman story on top of it.

Wonder Woman: I'd also have to go with Catherine Zeta-Jones. She can do action, she has the build, and she can act the tough-gal part.
Flash: I'd also have to go with Jim Carrey. I'm pretty sure they'd go with the less muscley, cartoony version of Flash rather than the more traditional comic one, if only so that they could distance him from the various other powerhouses in the film.
Green Lantern: Once again, I agree with Eric McCormack. He has the physical appearance and he CAN do the serious-yet-human thing. Even if I really freakin' hate his show.
Martian Manhunter: It occurs to me that for the most part this guy's appearance would be either makeup or CGI, so the most important qualifications are a big build and a booming (if pensive) voice...and for that, I'd have to go with Michael Clarke Duncan. He'd be green-colored, he's exhibited both intensity and innocence (look at the difference between Daredevil and The Green Mile) and in comparison to everyone else he'd be suitably huge.
Superman: I've left this one to last for a reason: I don't know that there IS an actor who can portray him. Superman is so much a part of pop culture that we expect an awful lot from anyone who would portray him. I myself am a pretty tolerant guy, and I can't even think of a name actor who could pull him off. For this reason, I believe he'd be best suited to an unknown actor: no expectations means no negative feelings. Hell, NO ONE knew who Hugh Jackman was prior to X-Men, no one had any time to doubt him, and he turned out to be great.
If they absolutely HAD to have an established actor in the suit, then I'd say, send Rob Lowe to the gym for a couple months, buzz his hair and throw a cape on him, he's the only guy who even remotely looks the part.

Agreed.
Personally I don't want to see anyone but Dean Cain as Superman, but more than likely not going to happen for the reasons I said before. (I was not aware of the asian thing though, just his own personal aversions to the role) There are many reasons why. For one, I LOVED Louis and Clark, and believe it to be the best Supes TV show we have had. I can't stand Smallville, wtf is up with that, and the 50's show was too archaic to have much appeal for me. Plus Dean Cain is, to be perfectly honest, one badass actor if you have seen him in anything beyond Louis and Clark. Dog Boys being an Example, there are quite a few others. Unfortunately, he hasn't gotten a break beyond the B-Movie market.
I wont be paying to much attention to Catwoman. I have no desire to see it or bother with it.

God no, PLEASE no... Flash has been, and always will be the smartalec kind of funny, not the retardt schtick kind of funny. And he was never over the top. That is just NOT a role you want to give Carey freedom with.
I also loved the Flash TV show that ran for so short a run in the early 90's, I thought it rocked.

Carrey probably could pull it off though.
Deth, did the Black Kingpin bother you? It did me, but not in a racist way, it's just...the Kingpin wasn't black.
And keep Jim Carrey away from the Flash. I'd rather Vin Diesel play him than Carrey.

Hellboy Synopsis:
quote:
1941: Hitler's obsession with the dark power of the occult fuelled his creation of a secret nation. A nation ruled by Nazi occult scientist worked tirelessly to fuse the powers of Alchemy, the technologies of witchcraft, and the fury of Hell itself. Hitler's demonic scientists gave brith to an unholy combination of horrofic ancient lore and devastating cutting edge futurism.Hitler's agents of chaos plowed the depths of the hollow earth, flew saucers through the air with anti-matter energy, discover the Spear of Longinus which pierced the side of Christ, transplanted brains from man to beast, sought the Holy Grail, and amassed a vast arsenal of once mythical artifacts. These obsessions nearly met their apocalyptic ultimatum on that October evening in 1944. The location was the Island of Skye, off the coast of Scotland.
In the darkness of night, an Allied submarine emerged from blood-warm sea to behold the craggy island infested with Nazi soldiers and the occult scientists of the Reich laboring under a massive Romanesque ruin.
Normal US soldiers would have been unable to comprehend the nightmarish visions they beheld. But this small battalion boasted a secret weapon : Trevor Bruttenholm.
An expert in the mysteries of the occult, Broom headed up the BUREAU FOR PARANORAMAL RESEARCH AND DEFENSE (BPRD), a secret organization created by Roosevelt in 1943 to combat the Nazi occult threat.
Through the thick sulphuric smoke of a demonic ceremony, Broom peered down at the Abbey Ruins and witnessed a ghastly sight.
The mad monk Rasputin, long thought dead, stood in the center of the scene with bizarre mechanical glove. Wiring from the glove coiled like snakes to a bank of hi-tech occult devices.
The beautiful Ilsa and the ghastly living cadaver Kroenen furiously worked the inhuman gears of a steal and gold summoning machine.
Broom was shocked to near insanity by what he recognized. It seemed impossible that anyone would seek to perform rituals of such evil devastation. Rasputin's goal was worse than even his befuddled master Hitler may have expected. He sought RAGNAROK: the opening of "The Gate of the Dragon", through which he would invite Hell onto earth. Apocalypse itself was truly at hand!
A gruesome battle erupted. Guns, grenades, and knives tore the flesh of both Nazis and Allied soldiers while the insane Rasputin shrieked an alien code. Just as the Allies claimed a victory, a bubbling infernal rift broke open in the ground. Below was the very realm of cosmic evil, too monstrous even to behold, but Rasputin had dissapeared.
But although Hell itself did not pour through to our defenseless world, something came through the gate ...
Broom was delighted to find the living discharge of hell. A horned red devil baby lay alone among the brimstone. Newborn, it looked at Bruttenholm and smiled; Bruttenholm smiled back, hoisted it into the air, and called it HELLBOY. A photograph is said to exist still to this day, commemorating the Allied soldiers and their new friend.
Trevor Bruttenholm : "He was born a demon ... we must do our best to make him a man."
