But I have heard those cast lists, and that can’t help but color how I see this film. That cast list calls somebody’s judgment into question. I don’t know who is in charge of casting here: Miller, Osborne, WB exec, or casting director, but whoever it is now is suspect to me.

From the first announcement of JLA came the news of no Bale or Routh. I get that. I’ve internalized that and moved on. The DC execs can talk about multiple continuities/writers/crossovers whatever. I sometimes agree with it and sometimes don’t. What works in comic books might not in movies. But I get their logic, even if I think it’s a gamble. But I also thought that meant we’d be opening the door to a Gerard Butler type as Batman or tv Superman Tom Welling getting the call or James Caviezel and Brendan Fraser as Batman/Superman. Maybe not these particular actors, but these kind of actors. Actors of weight, with a fandom, who could generate buzz yet still do the role justice. These aren’t A-listers pulling down $20 million a film, but still actors of some substance. I’m not sure I’m wording it right to get my point across. Not a particular actor, so much as a particular kind of actor.

Instead, we may be getting Hammer and Catrona? I really don’t understand that.
