Will Jessica Biel Don The Golden Lasso And Star-Spangled Panties For George Miller's JUSTICE LEAGUE??

For a moment I thought it said Jessica Alba ... by MorpheusTheSandman	Sep 25th, 2007 02:42:57 AM
But Biel is okay.
I will Wonder her Woman. by jingle_balls	Sep 25th, 2007 02:46:42 AM
am i right? I have to wonder if they will cg biels fine curves as wonder woman. but then thats taking it a little to far
I cant believe they are actually going through with it! by boyblue	Sep 25th, 2007 02:47:30 AM
Im sorry but I have a terrible feeling we are in for a giant shitfest with this one!
she can lasso me anytime by cyrent	Sep 25th, 2007 02:48:04 AM
enough said
This will suck so bad. by Be_a_zed	Sep 25th, 2007 02:49:44 AM
Mark my words.
Oh God, No by ShiftyEyedDog2	Sep 25th, 2007 02:58:26 AM
Not only are they predictably going for younger and hipper, the apparently also wanted a butterface. I really think this project would be better of doing the motion-capture approach. and i hate mo-cap, but for this, it would work
I think she's a good choice by grievenom	Sep 25th, 2007 03:01:30 AM
she's got the build and she's not dainty.
What do people see in her? by chewy-chop	Sep 25th, 2007 03:12:44 AM
Yeah, she looks Ok, but over-rated!
Dont know who she is but by FILMFUNK	Sep 25th, 2007 03:26:14 AM
She's a nice looking lady chunk Also thought it meant Alba from F4 and thought WTFck!? Just get Nigela Lawson for Wonder Woman.
Morena Baccarin is lovely... by DocPazuzu	Sep 25th, 2007 03:27:16 AM
...but she ain't no Wonder Woman -- just not tough enough. However, Baccarin would be a PERFECT Dejah Thoris. Do not attempt to debate me on this.
Xiphos by DocPazuzu	Sep 25th, 2007 03:33:19 AM
Cheers! Now if we can only get Billy Crudup as John Carter...
Shannon Elizabeth for Diana... by Monkey_King	Sep 25th, 2007 03:52:27 AM
or Rhona Mitra
Hang on... by hoodedgeek	Sep 25th, 2007 03:55:25 AM
...isn't this film going to be MoCap?
Charisma Carpenter... by Dr Uwe Boll	Sep 25th, 2007 04:09:39 AM
more please (but with much, much less clothing). Thankyou.
Cast a no name. You think the general public cares? by messi	Sep 25th, 2007 04:24:06 AM
You think the general public is going to go "oh my god celebrity as superman and jessica biel as wonder woman!" no they are going to go to the ticket box and go "oh my god superman, batman, wonder woman and the flash in 1 movie(they don't know the rest and even the flash is pushing it)". Bale not being in it will make a big difference. that is going to make a lot of people go "huh?". you know those people who can't differentiate between different characters running around.
sorry, those pics are not nice by Seph_J	Sep 25th, 2007 04:25:06 AM
could do with some clothes on
All these bitches are too short by messi	Sep 25th, 2007 04:32:55 AM
5'7"! I know it's movies but it feels more powerful knowing they are that big. Welling is 6'3", the same damn height and build as Supes and you can tell on screen. Try making these small bitches like the goddess Diana who is supposedly 6'0.
that Ross poster is wrong by messi	Sep 25th, 2007 04:34:21 AM
shouldn't the big 7 be at the bottom? I know Black Canary post crisis started the league but no bad luck.
OH LORD, PLEASE DON´T ALLOW THIS MOVIE TO BE!!! by Wilclas	Sep 25th, 2007 04:42:55 AM
boyblue and Be_a_zed, pray with me!!
Good point! by boyblue	Sep 25th, 2007 04:44:54 AM
Why do they have to be young? Why not go the other way and have them all old!! Kinda like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from Spongebob Squarepants!!! EVILLLLL! Id pay to see that.
WELL, GET GEORGE CLOONEY FOR BATMAN AGAIN THEN... by Wilclas	Sep 25th, 2007 04:45:56 AM
... since we´re aiming for the "Batman-and-Robin-Effect" all over again... Well, I at least we had a good run with comic book movies... Ahem.
So what about Singer and the Superman Sequel? by boyblue	Sep 25th, 2007 04:47:43 AM
Will we get one or will this take it's place?? If so, I want the stupid fucking suit responcible given the Bob Barker treatment!!
This Movies gonna Blow... by Redfive!	Sep 25th, 2007 04:48:09 AM
Already the casting is terrable.I know Christopher Nolan and Bryan Singer are rolling around in their graves already.Plus beil isnt hot enough to play Wonder Woman,Maybe Eva Green,but not the little 7th heaven.
Dwayne Johnson for Supes, Powers Boothe for Bats!!! by Shermdawg	Sep 25th, 2007 05:02:26 AM
DO IT!!!
I don't like where this is going. by TattooedBillionaire	Sep 25th, 2007 05:14:12 AM
Surely, there are better choices for this role.
Golden lASSo by CuervoJones	Sep 25th, 2007 05:20:06 AM
yummy
Do it in CG like BileWolf by FILMFUNK	Sep 25th, 2007 05:21:16 AM
Only give it the Watercolour style of the comic, that would work.
Wow, Shermdawg... by DocPazuzu	Sep 25th, 2007 05:22:22 AM
...the JLA project must have you spooging harder than when you "discovered" the hidden Venom pic. Now I guess you have the perfect excuse to yell "MELTING OWL!" in every talkback for months on end... ;)
Dejah Thoris by CuervoJones	Sep 25th, 2007 05:22:42 AM
Ok, in the books she´s always naked. Any adaptation MUST respect that detail.
Hollywood, there is more than one kind of sexy. by Max Agave	Sep 25th, 2007 05:23:23 AM
Jessica is the wrong kind. What we need is a 6 foot Amazon that other women HATE. It's Wonder WOMAN and she's supposed to intimidate geeks. This chick is a skinny (yes that's BAD for WW) bit of fluff. Wrong girl, wrong direction. Get a white Venus Williams
Xiphos by DocPazuzu	Sep 25th, 2007 05:24:36 AM
I love Fillion but I think the both of them together in another sci-fi project will make it difficult to see it anything other than the Firefly folks dressin' up. One or the other, yes. Both of them, not so much.
so hot by Judge Briggs	Sep 25th, 2007 05:26:34 AM
but she isn't WW!!!!!
She'll develop muscle, if time allows. Good choice. by JDanielP	Sep 25th, 2007 05:27:37 AM
They could do a lot worse. And this movie could be great, though a large part of pulling this off will be the visual interpretation, in a way (or style) that won't look ridiculous on screen. The director's vision for this movie is going to be a major factor, in how it plays out. "300" owes much to the director's eye. Visual interpretation can make or break how performances come across. I'm REALLY curious how this one is going to LOOK. What, exactly, IS the director's VISION for this flick? THAT is what I want to know, ...know what I mean, jellybean?
She´s got a lot of muscle by CuervoJones	Sep 25th, 2007 05:33:01 AM
Those pics are old. In fact, he looks like She-Hulk. She used to be sexy, but now...
Please no by Kovac	Sep 25th, 2007 05:34:13 AM
For the love of all that is good. Please do not cast that woman. This movie has a SLIGHT chance of being good, but bad casting will break it
Jesshe-hulk Biel by CuervoJones	Sep 25th, 2007 05:34:28 AM
http://theblemish.com/2006/10/ jessica-biel-is-getting-scary/
Thanks for the link, CuervoJones. Kick ass, Jessica! by JDanielP	Sep 25th, 2007 05:50:29 AM
Right now, I feel very good about the choice of Jessica Biel. But a tiny bit more muscle definition wouldn't hurt, either.
This is terrible news. by rbatty024	Sep 25th, 2007 05:58:28 AM
She is a god awful actress. I would have preferred an unknown for the part, or at least someone who could deliver a line. This thing is starting to look shaky.
What is the by dartofharkness	Sep 25th, 2007 06:15:32 AM
big deal with this girl? She seems nice enough, but whatever; she can't act isn't nearly as drop-dead gorgeous as everyone seems to think.
Redfive! by messi	Sep 25th, 2007 06:24:57 AM
how can they be rolling in their graves? Singer sucked major cock in making superman, i rolled in my grave when i endured superman returns.
Mo'Nique for Wonder Woman by Pound Sand	Sep 25th, 2007 06:40:33 AM

Hal Jordan or John Stewart GL? by teethgnasher	Sep 25th, 2007 06:48:19 AM
Classic or Modern take?
she was in fact able to open a pickle jar by just pillow talk	Sep 25th, 2007 06:50:35 AM
for George Miller, so the job is hers. Sorry Yack.
she's got the muscles, the tits and the ass by pipergates	Sep 25th, 2007 07:01:56 AM
while morena baccarin got the face and the color. why not find somebody who's got both? looking forward to see what miller makes of this.
Teethgnasher, it'll be Stewart... by Abin Sur	Sep 25th, 2007 07:10:50 AM
Dark Horizons has the breakdown of the "types" of people being cast - 8 to 9 lead roles, with one African American and the rest Caucasian. I think we can do the math.
And I like Biel as WW... by Abin Sur	Sep 25th, 2007 07:12:29 AM
She's not a bad actress, she just gets involved with shit movies and directors. She was actually pretty good in "The Illusionist." And she has the Amazonian athletics down pat.
Note for George Miller by kwisatzhaderach	Sep 25th, 2007 07:17:31 AM
More like The Road Warrior and less like Happy Feet.
Doesn't matter who they get. by Nice Marmot	Sep 25th, 2007 07:18:44 AM
Wonder Woman, even if cast to perfection w/ a perfect costume, will look retarded on the big screen.
Might as well cast Owen Wilson as Green Arrow by Reynard Muldrake	Sep 25th, 2007 07:23:31 AM
Ugh.
"she's got the muscles, the tits and the ass" by 1FearlessJay	Sep 25th, 2007 07:25:27 AM
What else matters? Oh wait... that pesky acting thing. LOL pipergates that quote needs to be on greeting cards.
And DVD sales for BLADE: TRINITY suddenly skyrocket by SpyGuy	Sep 25th, 2007 07:31:01 AM
I would love Morena Baccarin for the role, but she's a bit too tiny and petite...unless she tones up and they shoot her on boxes or put everyone else in trenches like they do for Tom Cruise.
You guys need to stop hating or it'll never get made... by wolvenom	Sep 25th, 2007 07:42:37 AM
GO JLA!!!!!! GO JLA GO!
Should go for no names with everyone but supes and bats by wolvenom	Sep 25th, 2007 07:44:52 AM
Seriously you cant have someone like jessica biel playing WW and have a no name playing batman... it would fucking be lame.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Wonder Woman! by DarthBakpao	Sep 25th, 2007 07:55:15 AM
Wentworth Miller for Batman, his character in Prison Break is basically Bruce Wayne in prison, cold, calculating, less talk more actions, and always has contingency plans. As for Superman? I have no idea.... perhaps Henry Cavill or Caviezel?
This movie will be better than Watchmen. by Diagnostic	Sep 25th, 2007 07:58:09 AM
For WW, they do need a woman that could kick someone's @ss.
Get Idina Menzel by freedunit01	Sep 25th, 2007 08:14:58 AM
If you're going for the look and a relatively fresh face (as far as casting is concerned of a potential future character series) I'd vote for Idina Menzel (of Rent & Wicked fame). check out pics of her at at imdb.com or google her.
Jennifer Connelly!!! by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Sep 25th, 2007 08:16:24 AM
for Wonder Woman. best casting ever.
Holy Bat-Sh!t Crazy! by sirbroiler	Sep 25th, 2007 08:21:42 AM
I'm with YackBacker! Why force this JLA down our throats while a hugely successful Bat-Franchise is rolling strong?!? Fine, have Routh play Superman, as a continuation of Returns. But leave Bats out of it until the Nolan flicks are through. Adding him in the 2nd or 3rd JLA flick isn't going to hurt anything. And by then, if your first JLA outing is a success, you may be able to convince Bale to do it. At least Marvel is smart enough to protect their X-Men franchise by doing Wolverine and Magneto pics WITH THE SAME ACTORS!!!!
fuck up by Mr_X	Sep 25th, 2007 08:22:55 AM
you need bale and routh as supes and bats. they've proved themselves wothy of the outfit. it has to be hal jordan as GL. He is GL. wonder woman, here's an idea, have an actual woman play her. you need someone with curves, , someone who can act, and some one with presence. THis is the JUSTICE LEAGUE. not ONE FUCKING TREE HILL. although i love morwena, she's too slender and small. Carpenter has the right size and the build, and she coudl pull it off. she's been aiming for this role for ages, give it to her
who's out by notbad	Sep 25th, 2007 08:24:12 AM
It's no rumor - Brandon Routh and Christian Bale are definitely NOT doing JLA. The third BATMAN film will continue as scheduled but MAN OF STEEL is on hold. They were considering Tom Welling to play Supes in the JLA flick but it has been confirmed that he is out, as well.
You know.... by Anna Valerious	Sep 25th, 2007 08:25:48 AM
I think I'd rather see her in a leotard or her bikini/underwear again...can we not have yet another film where she's walking around nearly nekkid? It's getting old, and "Stealth" almost ruined Richard Roxburgh's career.
Jennifer Connelly about 5 years ago... by Abin Sur	Sep 25th, 2007 08:34:50 AM
She's too skinny now - but back when she was more full figured, she absolutely WAS Wonder Woman.
Charisma Carpenter? she's too old... by DarthBakpao	Sep 25th, 2007 08:35:43 AM
and not that attractive. I'll take Biel any day over Carpenter
Since we're talking casting... by Abin Sur	Sep 25th, 2007 08:38:08 AM
Chiwetel Ejiofor is the ONLY choice (at least for me) to play a John Stewart GL. Who can argue with that?
Victoria Hill! by kafka07	Sep 25th, 2007 08:49:59 AM
I'd much prefer Victoria Hill, who is hot, a brunette (like Wonder Woman), and is a highly acclaimed Australian actress with real talent. Jessica is hot but is too doofy. I guess they could do worse than Beil but my vote is for Hill.
Vincent D'Onofrio is the ONLY Wonder Woman by LargoJr	Sep 25th, 2007 08:50:50 AM
You KNOW this to be true
Realistic by 1FearlessJay	Sep 25th, 2007 08:51:49 AM
I think a lot of people overlook the fact that their "favorites" to play Wonder Woman are far too old for what the studio is looking for. I know. I know. 35 isn't that old. But when you make a movie aimed at young males between 10 and 35 (yes the demo would be greater), then you cast young. Not just because "young is hotter" or some nonsense. It's because if you make three or four movies over the course of 10-12 years, you want your stars to not look rediculous. Women like Jennifer Connely (37), Monica Bellucci (43), Charisma Carpenter (37) while all beautiful, aren't realistic possibilities unfortunately. And my vote would have been Charisma, but Biel isn't bad.
Plus... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Sep 25th, 2007 08:52:30 AM
Jennifer Connelly just looks like a Michael Turner girl. good lord!
hey Jay, by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	Sep 25th, 2007 08:58:35 AM
i'd buy your realistic argument a lot easier if hollywood women actually aged. Connelly has looked the same for the past 20 years. look at her in Labrynth vs her in requiem, the only thing that changes are her eyebrows.
Not buying it.... by Philvis	Sep 25th, 2007 09:01:08 AM
Mention Jessica Biel and a JLA headliner finally appears on AICN. I'm sorry but I don't think she would be good. I think they should get a foreign actress. Wonder Woman is Greek in origin after all. I know that Bale is out for Batman, but Routh still isn't totally out for Superman from what I read at other places. I really would like to have seen Welling as Superman. I think they just need to make sure they don't make this a Hollywood "supercast". Nothing wrong with a headliner or two, but don't make it full of superstars just to get top billing.
For all of you saying TOO SOON for JLA... by Abin Sur	Sep 25th, 2007 09:02:34 AM
I'm looking at YOU, Yackbacker and Sirbroiler: Guys, just because this movie didn't languish in development hell for 10 years doesn't mean it's being forced down our throats - and it's certainly not like it's being written, directed and produced by McG...George Miller and Barrie Osborne are high pedigree - I can't think of any other producers that have a stronger record of making monumental movies, and Miller is an inspired choice. Besides, we had 3 Batmen in 4 movies, and we've seen Supes portrayed at the movies and on TV by Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, and the dude on the crappy Saturday morning Superboy show from years back - I don't think that the general public's head exploded from all that. The audience will get past it if you tell a good story, and I think the potential for a good story is here.
CATHERINE! ZETA! JONES! by Osmosis Jones	Sep 25th, 2007 09:06:35 AM
I don't care how "old" she is, she's bloody well PERFECT.
Yes, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a better idea! by Lance Rock	Sep 25th, 2007 09:09:22 AM
She's a bit older, which gives her the cred, and she's unbelievably beautiful. Oh yeah, and she can act!!!
Christopher Reeve as Superman via CGI/Motion capture by mr sulu	Sep 25th, 2007 09:10:22 AM
if JLA is gonna be CGI/Motion capture characters like Polar Express or Final Fantasy or the new Beowulf then could it be possible that superman could be done so as to resembal Reeve's face? using footage from his superman and other movies as another actor portrays the body movement? (as they normally do in those CGI/Motion capture films) Reeve is the definitive Superman and in Superman Returns Singer made an intentional effort to hire a guy that sorta resembled Reeve when made up (blue contacts etc) and Maybe they could do something similar for Batman and hire Michael keaton?...
I'm not sure if Green Lantern will even be in this... by stones_throw	Sep 25th, 2007 09:19:57 AM
...they've only mentioned Superman, Batman (it'd be suicidal to do a JLA movie without 'em), Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Flash so far. Kind of makes sense - GL has a much better stand-alone origin story and could easily support its own franchise. But I sure want to see Green Lantern in this movie. It would balance out the colors for one thing (the big 7 members just look good together) and it'd be another human, relatable character alongside Flash. I say have John Stewart in this film then do Hal Jordan as the star of a solo GL movie. If you can put aside your preconceived notion it makes sense to give Hal another human co-star and it would reinforce the whole "rookie becomes the greatest Green Lantern" angle. And Biel is a good choice! They were obviously going to go with someone younger and more all-American and I think Biel is about the best of the possible choices. Salma Hayek?? She's about 5 ft! Not Wonder Woman material.
Biel by Darth Scourge	Sep 25th, 2007 09:26:22 AM
Biel certainly has the potential for the athleticism that the role would demand.
You folks by thecheesegrommit	Sep 25th, 2007 09:28:03 AM
should remember that when you're throwing all these actresses names in the ring that they may be beautiful but they are not Amazonian. Morena Baccarin is gorgeous but tiny. I haven't read all the above posts so I may have missed some amazonian types.
Kevin Conroy for Batman by Diagnostic	Sep 25th, 2007 09:28:34 AM
If they are gonna have Batman and no Bruce Wayne, why not? He has starred action movies and the fans would go apeshite.
Biel as WW by Booster Gold Lives	Sep 25th, 2007 09:32:21 AM
Would I like to see Biel in a WW costume? Absofuckinglutely, in several different poses in several different photos...you get the idea. But in a WW costume in a JLA flick? It's not the WORST choice, but it just doesn't feel right. I have a bad feeling about the JLA flick...
CATHERINE BELL from JAG by tylermo	Sep 25th, 2007 09:33:52 AM
I don't remember what year it was, but she was either in FHM or Stuff circa 2002-2004. And, let's just say she had the look, and the build. Didn't watch a lot of JAG, but it seems like her acting was alright. She's 39 years old, and I'm largely basing this on one of her magazine photo shoots. Too me, it's far more appealing than Biel or most of the flavor of the day actresses. Admittedly, Lindsey Lohan is pretty hot, and probably needs to negotiate with Hugh Heffner, but she's not right for Wonder Woman either. And, thank God it's not Alba. Let's face it, Bell is too old for your typical casting director. They'll trade acting chops, and the right look, for the younger no-talented chicks any day.
So they're looking for names over the right actors? by INWOsuxRED	Sep 25th, 2007 09:40:35 AM
I'm moderately surprised. Is Van Wilder still Flash? If Brandon Routh isn't camping in front of Miller's house and washing his car and polishing his balls, he is an idiot. This could be his last shot at a decent job.
Plot and villains by SpikeTBB	Sep 25th, 2007 09:42:07 AM
Any word on who they are suppose to be fighting?
This casting rules all by BrowncoatJedi	Sep 25th, 2007 09:43:10 AM
Jessica is perfect!
YackBacker by INWOsuxRED	Sep 25th, 2007 09:43:36 AM
They didn't even bother to have the same guy play Batman in the Batman movies, why would you expect them to for this either? It would be smart of them to have already cast Bale & Routh and act like they won't, since that will get them a few extra free mainstream news stories. Story 1, they aren't in the movie. Story 2, Routh is in. Story 3, Bale is in! Story 2 & 3 will of course make no mention of how they got Story 1 wrong.
Carpenter looks too much like Victoria Beckham by half vader	Sep 25th, 2007 09:44:19 AM
Ick. That'd distract me for the whole flick! I know it's obvious, but Lucy Lawless. She's not doing anything at the moment is she? And only a quick jump across the pond. I like older for Justice League. Ross' art makes sense as young super heroes getting together seems more like hero college or training school or something. Seems like a natural fit to go out, do your stuff, then years later get together with your mates and kick some arse. My fingers are crossed. Miller has never made a bad film (as distinct from a film people disagree about). On the other hand, they want to start SHOOTING in Feb., it's almost October and they haven't started work yet. Bloody suits and tail-wagging-the-dog fit the release date mentality.
Motion capture or not? by oisin5199	Sep 25th, 2007 09:45:36 AM
Every article says something different. When there was a report that some Australian actress had been approached, they said it was going to be an entirely motion capture film, which is the only way this will work. Otherwise, it totally undermines the other franchises.
Lucy Fuckin' Lawless!!! by Spango	Sep 25th, 2007 09:48:38 AM
Zena needs to be WW!! And not having Brandon Routh and Christian Bale in it for continuity (like they are doing for Wolverine & Magneto) is plain stupid!
lol by munkie loco	Sep 25th, 2007 09:48:58 AM
as if this movie needed more reasons to fail. now it is for sure gonna tank. biel ruins EVERY movie she's in.
Clooney as Superman, Pitt as Batman, Damon as Flash by BringingSexyBack	Sep 25th, 2007 10:07:48 AM
Zeta-Jones as Wonder Woman, Wahlberg as Aquaman, and Cheadle as Green Lantern. There, done.

What is the THREAT LEVEL in this script?? by CarmillaVonDoom	Sep 25th, 2007 10:12:50 AM
Hopefully we're talking on the level of Darkseid? If that were the case, I doubt Batman would just 'have a protein shake and go to bed.' There are good reasons why Bats chooses to work with the League. There IS a wider DCU out there beyond the one (one!) movie that Bale was in.
Here, here!!!! by The Moseph	Sep 25th, 2007 10:13:45 AM
I'll second that notion, Spango. Lucy Lawless!!!!!!!!
You're all wrong by TVGuy Returns	Sep 25th, 2007 10:13:55 AM
"Shy Love", the porn star, is the perfect Wonder Woman. She has the look and the body. Also, since WW was created by William Moulton Marston, a Harvard PhD in Psychology, as a way to explore BDSM within the popular culture, Shy Love brings the added benefit of professional experience. We could see a WW movie which ring her creator's vision to the big screen. Also, the fanboys will be happy.
Wish they had gone for an unknown for WW by CarmillaVonDoom	Sep 25th, 2007 10:14:21 AM
Just my 2 cents on topic. Biel is certainly as good as anyone else in her age range...at least she is fit! Lucy Lawless would have been GREAT...10 or 15 years ago.
Here, here!!!! by The Moseph	Sep 25th, 2007 10:14:35 AM
I'll second that notion, Spango. Lucy Lawless!!!!!!!! And, yea...Bale and Routh should be Batman and Superman...period.
Lawless by Philvis	Sep 25th, 2007 10:16:29 AM
I didn't even think of Lucy Lawless. I think she would be pretty good actually. If they don't get Routh for Superman, they should get the guy who plays Superman in that World's Finest trailer movie thing that was made a handful of years ago for the net. He looks exactly like Superman. Also, since Batman is supposedly only going to be in costume for this flick, they can focus more on the acting ability and build as opposed to a certain look. I really have my hopes up for this movie to be something good. X-Men was a decent franchise, but I grew up with DC, so this is what I have been waiting for. I just wish Hal Jordan would stop getting the cold shoulder from DC lately.
Morena Baccarin would still be the best! by Raymar	Sep 25th, 2007 10:18:57 AM
Face it: Zeta-Jones and Bullucci are slghty passed their prime by now. Who cares if Baccarin isn't overly muscuar? It's called super-strength, people! And just look at her performance as Black Canary in JLU to see her acting apropriately fearsome.

If not Routh or Bale.... by Dasher	Sep 25th, 2007 10:24:16 AM
I think it would be a mistake for them to recast Supe and Bats. If they can't get Routh or Bale, why not give it to someone else who has played the part previously. Maybe Kilmer or Clooney for Bats? Clooney has always said he wanted to take another shot at the role. As for Supes, there is always Dean Cain, Gerard Christopher, or Tom Welling. Just an idea.

Claudia Christian Wonder Woman in the 90's by tylermo	Sep 25th, 2007 10:34:20 AM
Another person who had the look, and body for Wonder Woman, was Claudia "Babylon 5" Christian. Probably not as good as Bell, but another good look's choice during the 1990's. Acting-wise...so-so. I do remember a number of revealing pics of Claudia back in the day, however. My vote is still for early 2000's Catherine Bell.

SSH showed a great WW choice by liljuniorbrown	Sep 25th, 2007 10:44:16 AM
Super Hero Hype shows this relative unknown who tired out for the role and she would be perfect. I am a diehard Supes fan so I am holding my breath until they annouce casting for that role. It will tie this whole thing together. Ryan Reynolds as Flash, and you gotta get Nathan Fillion in there somewhere.
Jessica Biel is the only choice for Wonderwoman by Vamp-AICNchat	Sep 25th, 2007 10:46:18 AM
Well, not only choice, but the best choice in my opinion. I think she was good as bad ass chick in Blade 3. I'm interested in Justice League, the only thing that bothers me is the parts of Superman and Batman. How can anyone come close to Bale as Batman or Routh as Supes. That is my only concern.
David Borenaz as Batman by liljuniorbrown	Sep 25th, 2007 10:46:20 AM
That would fucking rock and you all know it. He's playing a detective right now, hell he's been playing a detective/superhero for years now and he's still in good shape and has that super hero jaw. If he doesn't get a role i n this flick i'm out man, unless they have him play Hal Jordan in a Green Lantern flick.

Why all the young looking superheros by Lance2769	Sep 25th, 2007 10:59:02 AM
This movie is a fucked up concept to begin with (going against what the new Batman and Superman movies have already established) but why all the young looking superheros? In the comics, these crime stoppers are portrayed as good looking but mature people with ordinary abilities. Christian Bale as Batman has been the only example in recent comic book movies as the prefect casting. Tobey Macguire as Spidey is suppose to be young so he doesn't count. Jessica Biel is sexy as hell but you might as well call her Wonder Girl. She has that baby face with a sexy body that wouldn't work and people would think is another WB TEEN movie. I agree that Monica Belucci would be an awesome Wonder Woman. She is the prefect age and has the prefect look PLUS, she's taken more seriously as an actor than Jessica. Even, Kate Beckinsdale would be a notch up. Brandon Routh was a good Superman but he still looked more like SuperBoy. Jim Caviziel would have been the perfect choice. I know that Christopher Reeves was in his very early twenties when he played Superman but he is a prime example of someone who was young but still had a mature look about him that allowed his character to be more believable. And don't get me started on all of the Fantastic Four castings. It was not as bad as a WB movie casting but pretty close. FOR ONCE, cast these superhero characters look like their names ask them to be: WonderWOMAN, SuperMAN, AquaMAN, etc. Enough of the teeny bopper looking crime fighters!

Lawless by emeraldboy	Sep 25th, 2007 11:16:26 AM
and Zeta Jones were the only choice.in the 1990's. Lawless ruled herself out sometime ago. She didnt want to another Kick ass heroine after Zena. There was alot of talk that she may one day do a zena movie. But she shot that down. I think she was sick of zena when she finished it. Catherine Zeta Jones is too frosty though she looks like wonder woman. Wonder woman requiers the female actor to play a dual role and the audience has to have thier belief suspended. Biel is not that good of an actress. though she looks fit. Lynda Carter and Helen Slater had that sixties wholesome appeal which Biel doesnt have. If they were going to cast anyone I would say alba. But many here dont like here. I would be very happy to see the actress who played solange appear in a brassier and panties for two hours or Eva green. those two were hotness in casino royale or isla fisher or melissa George.

Monica Belucci too Old!!!! by Lance2769	Sep 25th, 2007 11:48:22 AM
I agree with an earlier comment: Woman in Hollywood don't age like everyday woman - they can afford NOT to. Monica Bellucci is an ageless wonder. In terms of actual age, she is much 'older' than Jessica Biel but in terms of appearance, she is far sexier and young enough looking to still play WonderWoman in this film and in any sequels. Remember her in the Matrix 2 with that tight, sexy latex dress? Or in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula as one of Dracula's brides? She still looks the same today. She's atheletic, mature, sexy and a great actress.

Fantastic Four done right? by Archive	Sep 25th, 2007 12:06:32 PM
This film is Warner's attempt at snatching the same crowd that loved Fantastic 4, and for a sense of tone and performance, we should look more to 'Beyond Thunderdome' than the renditions of Max more widely hailed by dork fandom. They want a bunch of youth-friendly characters in a high-adventure setting with pulp and flash, and JLA is a good place to look and has the potential to launch countless franchises, in the same way Fox is hoping to do with X-Men. For a film like that, Biel is a fantastic choice - she's game for stunts, she's ready to have fun, and she's a good actor to boot. This is a movie where we want to see the actors having a good time. We are not meant to believe a man can fly in this one, and showing us the wires a little lets us in on the good time. In a film like this, the cast is a tour guide to movie magic.

Kate Winslet is just young enough to pull this off. by JDanielP	Sep 25th, 2007 12:09:31 PM
What a surprise Kate Winslet could be. When I was thinking of her for this role, I studied a few photographs of her at www.imdb.com (internet movie data base) and, while finding her Wonder Woman hair style, I would imagine the right hair color. She could REALLY be a surprise pick and quite the blessing for such a motion picture. If she wanted the part, I don't know HOW Warner Bros. could refuse. She really IS a wonder WOMAN.
Eva Green as Wonder Woman! by Redmantle	Sep 25th, 2007 12:13:38 PM

CANDICE MICHELLE is Wonder Woman by Toby___Wong	Sep 25th, 2007 12:13:48 PM

God damn it people, Wonder Woman is an AMAZON!!! SHE IS THE EMBODIMENT OF FEMININE STRENGTH, NOT A 90 LB WIREY WB BEANPOLE! Not knocking Biel here, she's gorgeous and all, but she is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY WRONG FOR THIS PART.
Bats by cocolopez	Sep 25th, 2007 12:46:17 PM
needs to step away from these silly heroes. The only time him and Supes should be screen sharing is if they do a proper Dark Knight based on Frank Miller's graphic novels where Bats beats Super Man's ass with the armor and tank. And George Miller hasn't directed proper action since '85. Dear lord this will suck.

I'm off topic as usual. Monica Bellucci- while having possibly the best rack in the business- can't come off as American with her voice- which Wonder Woman obviously needs to be. Whatever. All these casting ideas are just getting me horny. Mary Elizabeth Winstead- goddamn. She's so fucking hot in Death Proof. Actually- whoever said Diora Baird- I can see her at least looking perfect as WW.

respect thanks to his recent animated fare, but the combination of news that this is going to be live action, no Bale or Ruth, and now this has me doubting the stability of this project. In another forum someone mentioned that Superman and Batman should look older, to insinuate that this takes place years after their own franchises, which I'm in favor of. DC has a lot of catching up to do in terms of number of films (certainly not in quality) because Marvel has really beaten them to the punch in regards to these superhero films.

or great minds think alike. Lawless has the look. I'm sure Alex Ross thinks so. But that's just looks, I don't care as long as the chick can act. In relation to Bellucci, is WW actually supposed to have an American accent? Obviously I'm not a WW fan (except for the Adam Hughes covers), but she comes from an island of Amazonians right? Is it just off the coast of America? Or was she a kid when she got there? People generally don't lose their accents if they hit the new place when they're in their teens. An accent wouldn't bother me, and fits the whole Amazonian 'exotic' thing. It's pretty funny, fanboy casting. Ooh! (insert Buffy actor) would be perfect! Then, Ooh! (insert Angel actor) would be perfect! Then Ooh! (insert Firefly actor) would be perfect! Then Ooh! (insert Heroes actor) would be perfect!...
Anne Hathaway by Mr. Profit	Sep 25th, 2007 01:23:29 PM
Sure she may not be an action hero, but neither was Keanu until he trained. With training she could be right. She also comes with a built in audience. Both those lame Princess movies made over 100 mil, and Devil Wears Prada did very well for her. So she could be right for the part Hathaway is a young woman who can act, who fits the look and is tall enough, who coincidentally can open a film on her own. Casting her would be a no brainer, but watch them cast an unknown like that big face chick who is the new Bionic Woman.
I agree Half Vader... by Mr. Profit	Sep 25th, 2007 01:29:17 PM
The whole random casting suggestions that do not go beyond the "Buffyverse" are annoying. Charisma Carpenter is not a good actor. She was good at being a bitch which doesn't take that much acting skill, especially when the quips that she was given to say (by the talented writers) were pretty clever. The chick from Firefly is kinda small framed. And Monica Belluci is beautiful, but does she seem like a low rent Zeta Jones to anyone else? And I agree with the Mary Elizabeth Winstead suggestion someone mentioned above. she could probably handle the role, and she is tall.
I mentioned by emeraldboy	Sep 25th, 2007 01:30:18 PM

go back to reading your celebrity magazines. Stars don't make a difference anymore. You think it's going to make a difference if a star is a superhero in a justice league movie, actually not having Bale who isn't a movie star but a well respected actor is actually going to affect the film negatively.

Biel, Alba, etc, get me an actress! by filmfanatic1	Sep 25th, 2007 01:41:49 PM
The JLA movie is getting built by the studio hacks, and Miller is letting them; this is stunt casting that will ruin this film the way the 1st FF film went. Look at Alba in that; she looks perfect until she open her delicate mouth; Biel has one film, "The Illusionist" that she actually got to act. At least Baccarin can act, as far as Firefly is concerned. But WB wants eye candy first, good acting second; if only Nolan was directing this; he'd stand up against them.
Gentlemen - a minor point: by mbeemer	Sep 25th, 2007 01:43:38 PM
With modern filming techniques, huge men have been made to look like dwarves, and small men to look like hobbits, and very convincingly. If they want to, they can make Jessica Biel (or whoever they cast) look 6 feet tall to stand next to Superman and Batman.

If Wonder Woman were a hardcore Lesbian and this film was going to be a Direct To "Logo" exclusive film. She is not sexy at all. In T3 all she did was watch "Species" and copy it. And let's not forget her stint in "Bloodrayne". As for Jessica Biel getting in shape, has anyone seen her lately? Jessica Biel is already "built". She never lost the weight she gained for Blade 3, and has only gotten more solid. It's to the point that gossip blogs call her She Hulk. And I agree, Shannon Elizabeth would be good dressed as Wonder Woman only if she is promoting the Justice League video game at E3.

Hollywood will NOT cast old - forget Belucci by ShiftyEyedDog2	Sep 25th, 2007 01:49:18 PM
Monica Belucci is fine, but theyll never cast her. MARK MY WORDS: They're going to skew these characters as young as they can, because they want the teens and 20-somethings to hand over their cash. Pretty much plan on no one over 30. This'll end up looking like Smallville, but in costumes. Do it MoCap, or dont do it at all, because I guarantee there's no way they're going to portray the characters accurately.
other Bats & WW casting by sarajevobot	Sep 25th, 2007 01:51:40 PM
For Batman, if they're going mo-cap, Powers Boothe is another good one. Or Michael Ironside or John Saxon. If they're going mo-cap. Which they should. Or just leave Batman the hell out of it. That's the best way to go. We've already got Batman movies and they are doing a near-perfect job. For WW: What about Olivia Wilde?

Casting news by SpideyK	Sep 25th, 2007 02:03:28 PM
You may remember me as MrParker..I used to post on here...those who do can vouch for authenticity..I spilled the beans on SpiderMan 3 about a year before release and with an update 6 months later..also lots of stuff on X3..all came to pass, every detail. Anyhoo, not a DC guy (pretty obvious) but close links (link) within the biz and what those on other side of the pond are doing..what I've been told is that the Supes casting is gonna piss people off...Welling is out the picture, in all senses, most casting is going to be of the Biel, Reynolds, hot young thing, young WB type, pretty boys and girls who can last 3 rounds for the planned sequels and will have no quiblles about their artistic integrity..Batman is probably more like the Burton batman of '89 etc, almost a peripheral character, Supes will at as a lead for the team, but the script is cetred around WW and it will be the secondary characters and specifically WW who will have the most screentime..be under no llusions that this is anything more than a springboard for spinoffs and more sequels for the next 7-8 years..GL, Flash, WW, AM, Supes, Bats etc and JL. I have heard a mooted around idea of doing a villain centric JL film down the road also - Luthor, Black Adam, etc sounds crap to me and hope they don't completely flood the market. No Darkseid, no Luthor, load of cameos that most of the audience won't get..the bad guys are the good guys here, no massive threat unfortunately..but a good throwdown between yep, Supes and.......Bats (this has already been leaked I think!?)..I very nearly got into a bit of shit for the SM3 stuff I leaked..but DC not much to do with me. Anything I get I'll post, Harry feel free to e-mail me, as I do not want to post certain specific points (casting not yet signed etc) as I'm not 100% on it and also cause as you probably knwo as much as I do and don't want to post stuff you dont want to leak..sure I'll get 'flamed' but take what you want from the above..

Looks like Wonder Woman. She has a good height, nice long black hair, and is a knock out. But she is a singer not an actor. Let me shut up though before WB reads my post and gets any ideas about casting a singer instead of an actress and casts Beyonce
sounds good to me by flipster	Sep 25th, 2007 02:09:52 PM
please no more alba nonsense, give us the blue-eyed natural goddess Diana is - loved the JLA cartoon with the "catfights" and diana just mopped the flooor with everyone else - give us her and everything will be alright, though to be fair Biel's a little not so much tall and athletic.

Alana De La Garza from Law and Order. Check her out on IMDB. She can act and she got the looks and height that are just right. On comics2film somebody put a photoshop pic of her in the gallery wearing the WW outfit. This only solidifies my opinion.

Well..appreciate what you're saying..tho I did give a pre-warning that the costume designs for GG were worse than before and would not please, well, anyone, and that Venom was barely in it as he was due to be saved for number 4 (not to be now) and the script was kinda kooky (dancing scenes I leaked etc that noone bought at the time)..but sorry you didn't like it..I was disappointed that more wasn't given to Venom as sugested..not Raimi's fault, he really was a last minute addition, really close to the wire he was even going to be in it..but toy companies rule hollywood I'm afraid..as will be the case with JL.hence the new costumes for each and every character, (yellow symbol on bat this time round) and wait for all the 'cool' civilian wear designs that are being developed...

You're damned right about that one. Probably not an actress, but again(like Shannon Elizabeth), she would make a best in show Wonder Woman at DragonCon. And, she could DEFINATELY fill the cups.
Filling in the cups by Lance2769	Sep 25th, 2007 02:32:33 PM
Now that SpideyK has spilled the beans on how JLA is going to center around WonderWoman, it is of utmost importance that the one they cast be able a capable actress AND be able to fill in the C cups and Jessica Beil is pubesant years from doing the latter of the two. In all seriousness..can you really imagine Jessica Biel carrying this movie? IT MUST BE DONE IN MOTION CAPTURE!!!

All I know (or have been told) is that he's in the script but not as a character if that makes any sense..from what I understand they are going to set it up so that there is a need to grow the League, replace certain memebers at the end post-fallout from the 'twist' (I think it's best if you imagine this as a scene a la Avengers 2 animated movie) and so a sequel will have the "ooh who are they going to introduce next" buzz..plus more Toy igures to produce..with new costumes for all lead caharacters of course..and posable arms..

The Storyline... by Antz	Sep 25th, 2007 02:59:37 PM
According to the article at Dark Horizons... "The characters of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter comprise the League. The 'Lantern' of this film is John Stewart, whilst The Flash is the youngest member and has a crush on Wonder Woman. Batman has a piece of technology he developed called the 'Redeye', that he can use to spy unbeknownst on the other League members. It becomes a catalyst for events when a villain takes control of it, whilst one of the League members will 'go bad'."

Have only read the 10 (or so) posts above me, but..... by stereochad	Sep 25th, 2007 03:11:14 PM
....in my opinion, it doesn't really matter who they cast in these roles (as long as they get a couple right). No, there's only one name associated with this production that matters, and that name is GEORGE F#@&%N MILLER! I think it would matter if the director was a Bryan Singer or a McG or (fill in the name of the latest director who's first film was a promising indie) type. But come on, this man's a real director (an artiste even)! Let's give credit to the studios for going with such a bold choice for (what I'm sure they consider to be) their prized character properties. The Mad Max series, The Witches of Eastwick, The Babe movies, and Happy Feet attest to this man's creative mastery. I for one am stoked about this movie regardless of who plays the Martian Manhunter.
Abin Sur by SpideyK	Sep 25th, 2007 03:11:48 PM
Sorry, cleaning coffee off my keyboard! Well, I believe the OMAC storyline is heavily borrowed from, but I don't think there is a big infux of blue robots flying about..in essence Bats (as per post above) does jeapordise the team via OMAC storyline, and has to learn to be a part of a team to rectify it minus hundreds of costly OMAC's..could be wrong, but can usually rely on my contact on that side..

I can't stand Jessica Biel. by a goonie	Sep 25th, 2007 03:15:20 PM
I think there are tons of actresses out there with tons more talent than her and tons more hotness, too. She's not ugly, but I find her kind of plain looking. I'm sure all the Jessica lovers out there will hurl shit at me for that, but that's the way I feel. She's a pretty shit actress and a rather uninspired choice for Wonder Woman. If this goes ahead, I might just hate this casting almost (ALMOST!) as much as I hate that other Jessica playing Sue Storm in the FF movies. But I must say, I'd take Biel over Monica Belluci anyday. Belluci's a hottie for sure, but her "acting" stinks. I'd rather see an unknown in the role, but of all the names being tossed about, my pick would be Zeta Jones, who at least has some acting talent AND looks the role.

What about Zuleikha Robinson... by BrooseTheScharuk	Sep 25th, 2007 03:58:41 PM
...from Rome, who played Gaia: the only woman who was tough enough for Titus Pullo (and I won't spoil the details of how she got him or where their relationship goes). Sure, she's a little short, but comes across about as Amazonian as any woman I can think of in recent memory (in not-so-recent memory, how about Helen Mirren 30 years ago?), and I had to check IMDB before I knew she wasn't particularly tall. If you have questions as to how Robinson would come across as a fighter, just watch her in the gang fight scene one or two episodes from the end of the series. AND she has a distinctly Mediterranean or Spanish look to her, which fits WW's geographical origins. Anyway, if you haven't watched Rome, you may not be able to see the appeal just from still photos of her.

A little too young perhaps... by DoctorWho?	Sep 25th, 2007 04:00:38 PM
This is the criticism(sp) Singer got for casting too young in SR. TOO YOUNG. I want to see some maturity in these icons. I want to look in the faces of these heroes and see experience...that "been around the block" a few times confidence in their eyes. Battle tested, world weary,etc. Please, no more fresh faces straight from THE OC or latest Fox teen drama to play weighty parts.
I'd see George Miller over Singer anyday. by ufoclub1977	Sep 25th, 2007 04:04:35 PM
He makes more greater movies, with more rock solid mythos, style, and action. Singer is like a film school student with a lot of money, but half assed skills and brains.
ufoclub1977... by BrooseTheScharuk	Sep 25th, 2007 04:11:10 PM
...I couldn't agree more. Singer just seems like a spoiled kid who gets to make movies (trust me, I lived with someone who worked on the first X-Men movie). I would also add that he has no taste or passion.
Dum Guy by SpideyK	Sep 25th, 2007 04:19:52 PM
Kind of..just is it THE Martian Manhunter....I was told it is a number of 'turns' that happen, not just one member...to be honest, I know this is all moving ahead and has gone through various incarnations now - animated, mocap, live action, blend etc, but it amazes me that this is going to be pulled off..I do worry taht anyone going in with expectations of some huge, integalactic, epic superhero film are going to be disappointed. This looks more intimate, a scaled down super hero team up film..more about the league relationships and consequences of trust and betrayals within it than a huge external threat..though again, think it's safe to say it will be much mor 'epic' than X-men 1

PLEASE someone READ THIS that works at WB!!! by sledgehammer5050	Sep 25th, 2007 05:47:40 PM
I am begging you not to rush this thing. Please!! Think about this for a second....Justice League is a movie made for the fans. You might attract a few people here and there that are not into the comics...but, for the most part, you are making a movie out of characters that not EVERYONE may be familiar with. Sure, superman and batman, but after that? The only thing people know about Aquaman, the Green Lanterns, the Flash, Wonderwoman, and the Martian Manhunter are from the cartoons in the past or failed TV shows. Please wait for the current Batman/Superman projects to pan out. Then, put Batman and Superman together first before a Justice League movie. Not everyone knows all the characters from the J.L. but EVERYONE knows who Superman and Batman are. They are ICONIC!!!! Everyone will want to see a Batman/Superman movie, not just the fans. Then, when you've made a BIG draw out of that movie (with Bale and Routh IN them), create a Justice League movie, with Bale and Routh, and people will be more likely to see it because they have a familiarity to the Batman/Superman project. PLEASE for the first time ever keep some continuity! It worked for the animated Batman all the way to Justice League unlimited....it will work in real-life movies too. Please don't ruin such a cool idea for the fans!!!!!
"Happy Feet" guy by JimBobCooter	Sep 25th, 2007 05:54:01 PM

Bale, Routh, and the JLA Hoopla by Elvis Cole Lives	Sep 25th, 2007 06:17:54 PM
Lemme start by sayin' that I wouldn't have minded seeing Bale and Routh in the JLA movie. Simply for the sake of "continuity." Hopefully, that establishes my bona fides. Now, on to my point. Anybody here ever read a comic book? Checked out the art work? Criticized or lauded the writing? The point is both facetious and serious. Of course we have. Now I ask you: is Miller's Batman the same as O'Neill's? How about Loeb's Superman when compared to, say, Byrne's? Different, right? Same characters, but slightly different interpretations? We've heard the incessant belly-aching about the JLA movie's Superman and Batman being played by actors other than Routh and Bale, but I ask you, is it so hard to look at this JLA movie as simply a different artist's interpretation of the DC universe. Much the same as we don't criticize that Turner's Superman doesn't look like Ross's, I don't think it's too big a stretch to see different actors in these roles, provided it's not a fiasco. I want to give these production (especially with Miller involved) as much trust and leeway as I can. And on the topic of Biel's age and the "WB"-ing of the cast -- first, she's the first one announced so I find the knee-jerk reaction a little suspect and, second, she'll be 26 when filming starts, not exactly "The OC" age. And just so not to miss anything -- I got ZERO problems with Ryan Reynolds as Flash (woo hoo, actually). He'll be 31 when filming starts and can certainly "play" younger, if necessary. I'd definitely go just a little older with Supes and Bats, though. Maybe mid-30s, to establish a sort of "gravitas" to their characters when compared to the others. Martian Manhunter, though, I'd probably go even older with -- 40ish? Just my 2 1/2 cents worth.
Oops, in above post... by Elvis Cole Lives	Sep 25th, 2007 06:19:25 PM

I know what the twist is concerning "Manhunter", as far as what I've read is supposed to be true. If I read the same thing, then I believe we get to see giant robots fights intergalatic bad guys. To be honest, I was hoping for a movie that shows massive superhero fighting damage, you know, like what is in the funny books. Although, it could all be crap, and the movie is going to go in a different direction.

On the subject of whether miller can still direct... by stereochad	Sep 25th, 2007 08:08:15 PM
...action. Well if your idea of action is only fight scenes, then perhaps you believe Paul Greengrass should be directing the damn thing. As for me, I think the way the (Sea lion) chase scenes in Happy Feet were choreographed were pure kinetic poetry (and vicious too!). And the scene with those penguins sliding down the glacier (ahead of the avalanche) were rock solid too. How about the way the sequence where the pitbull chases the pig (in Babe: PITG) was staged? Brilliante! It was almost comic-booky yes? That is all.

This is a no-brainer. She has acting chops, the fight choreography /stunt experience from her years as Xena. Wonder Woman has to be physically threatening. Just try to imagine Jessica B. or Monica Baccarin trying to take on a Darkseid or Grundy single-handed. It aint happening folks. Lawless could convey inner strength with just a look across a crowded room. Scrawny, cute girls may work for tv, (Firefly, Buffy, Bionic woman...) but were talking about the mother of all freakin superheroines here. I say lets cut the B.S. and cast someone who looks like they can take a damn punch!
Holy Bat Sh!t Crazy - Part Deux! by sirbroiler	Sep 25th, 2007 08:29:36 PM
Hey Abin Sur - YEAH YOU! 3 Batmans in 4 movies is your justification for having an alternate Batman in JLA! I'm sorry - did you actually see Batman Forever/Batman & Robin and how they killed that franchise? If Warners/DC want to make this movie some kiddie krap - then put in on Kids WB. Don't cheat the mature fans because you're desperate for a summer super hero tent-pole that will sell action figures. Look how much time, effort and energy went into Superman Returns and the studio thinks that was a bomb (I don't agree and think Brandon should play Supes in JLA). This movie, the should be made, is being rushed. No doubt about it. And as for George Miller - he may be a good director - but nothing on his resume, especially nothing in the past 10 years, can convince me that he's the best director for this movie. Smallville's good, but Superman it ain't. Superboy was a heap of super-shit. And go back and watch Lois and Clark. and try looking at me with a straight face and tell me that was good super hero storytelling. This has Fantastic Four written all over it.
