>Nightwing

>Those Hal Jordan choices

I like most of those actors but terrible! Marky Mark and Rust? No way

Katherine McNamara would get me to watch a Batgirl movie, preferably if she gets tied up, raped and in lewd situations in general

McConaughey could pull it off.

Not Wahlberg, though. He'd be a great Guy Gardner, though.

sigh

you people

watch lists are just ideas, spit balling. some of it is agents trying to get the names of someone out in front, some of it is studio suits with few clues.

very little of it has an semblances with actual thinking, actual casting, or reality

Why would I watch a DC movie in 2017 that isn't animated?

Even the animated movies are mostly trash. Only Lego is watchable.

Those are the most bizarre choices.

Actually thinking on it more, I could definitely see Depp in the role. He looks like Blood and can be believable as a humorless scholar, and someone like him would be really important to put the Hot Topic asses in the theater seats that this movie will need.

I bet McAvoy could do a damn good Constantine. I've always felt Ewan McGregor would actually be perfect for it because of his character in Trainspotting.

Also who will voice Swamp Thing? Peter Cullen? Ron Perlman? Or Michael Ironside?

Some people are actually interested in movies because of who's making them and who's in them rather than because of what franchise they tangentially belong to. I know, it's really uncommon in 2017.

>Those are the most bizarre choices.

It's a joke, bro.

Y-yeah, I knew that, I was joking too!

>Doctor Sivana
>Hugo Weaving

Like I said last time, I'd love to see this.

>Also who will voice Swamp Thing? Peter Cullen? Ron Perlman? Or Michael Ironside?
I'd like Lance Henriksen, although I haven't heard what he sounds like these days.

Every week with this guy. More and more fanfic

They should seriously get Tyler Hoechlin for Nightwing. The ass cannot be denied.

These lists are utter bollocks. Remember the Batman casting list for BvS? Affleck was no where near the list until like a week before and it came out of no where. Remember The WW list? Shit just to give credence to my claim, Nightwing has been pretty much officially cast and Finn was no where in these lists.

Honestly other than maybe Reeves, Hoechlin is probably the best Superman of the modern age, Caville is decent but he's got nothing to work with.

why didn't you rhyme the last one

>Hal Jordan
>Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Matthew McConaughey
Dear god no, these would all be awful Hals

CTRL+F+Ana de Armas

>Nightwing has been pretty much officially cast and Finn was no where in these lists.

Remember when Armie Hammer was "officially" cast as Green Lantern because Geoff Johns followed him on Instagram?

Yeah.

>implying any of these movies will ever be made

we can't even get a fucking script in a goddamn Batman film

these WB people are dreaming WAY too big

>Killer Frost
>>Mackenzie Davis, Imogen Poots, Tatiana Maslany, Erin Moriarty, Lucy Boynton, Florence Pugh, Emily Meade, Taissa Farmiga, Ana de Armas, among others. WB is favoring actresses with "unconventional beauty" who can play "broken and owning it".


What is Warner's problem with women with curves?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

AH

The last decade has given us movies of Suicide Squad, Guardians of the Galaxy and fucking Jonah Hex, and you think a second Green Lantern film is "dreaming too big"?

Don't you think that maybe the reason Batman is having problems (merely a year after the last Batman film and five after the last Batman solo, mind you) is precisely because it's such a massive franchise that dwarfs literally every other superhero, and thus there's bound to be a lot of infighting over who is going to get their hands on it?

>Tom Cruise
>Ha Jordan is suddenly 2 feet shorter than everyone else
Do not want.

>Don't you think that maybe the reason Batman is having problems

It's because they have no story but are determined to make it anyway because the studio demanded it. They will force it just to have a Batman movie, and it will be a rushed mess like Dawn of Justice. And if they can't make a Batman story, that's a fair indication they can't even begin to so something like Shazam
