Sure, rapper slash actor is fast becoming a cliche, but when they can act, then by all means let them try. Anyone railing against Common as an actor obviously hasn’t watched AMERICAN GANGSTER.

They should finish off Nolan's Batman films and Finish Singer's Superman films so that when they do film a Justice League movie they can cast Christian Bale and Brandon Routh in the roles, although they should leave Megan Gale, she has the eyes, all she has to do is put on the muscle. Martain Manhunter they should make him CG or something and have someone voice him, even though Phil Morris plays Jonn on Smallville, he should lend his voice. Think about WB.

It's not the comicbook world in my head that I'm worried about. I'm much more concerned about the things that will be put into the heads of other non-comicbook fans who happen to like movies. Comicbook readers, no matter how rabid or zealous, are small in number compared to fans of action/adventure films. Studios, of course, would want to make sure to make a film that would please not just us fans, but everyone as well. Since these movies touch more people than comicbooks do, I think it would be better if these movies honor and respect the legacy of what the comicbook creators, writers and artists have worked on. People are much exposed to movies than comicbooks, and what casual viewers pick up from these movies will help create their own superhero world in their own minds. Wouldn't it be nice if what they fantasize about is close to what the comicbook artists and writers intended?

If your a fan of the source material and your afraid of a studio royally fucking it up, then simply don't see it? Its not as if a 90 minute film is suddenly going to ERASE the decades of your untouchably perfect comic-book characters that you've worked up in your head. I'll definently be paying the $11.00 to support it in the hopes that there will be future sequels that the internet can hold their breath and shit their pants about also.

I for one won't be tuning in to his hip-hop motifs OR his acting in this film. This whole movie just screams like a 'Street Fighter' version of a flick... and we all know that blew chunks. There are times when no-name actors are better in films... such as in Cloverfield, but in this case it seems the crew is relying on the brand names of Superheros to sell the flick... and they are greatly mistaken. They need to do THEIR part to make the movie good... don't rely on the concept. Common should stick to rapping then if you think he’s so good.

Then to see the cast and hear that a pair of first timers are writing this (seemingly without any touch ups)? Just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I'll take a wait and see attitude as I do with most movies based on comics, but I'm not excited about what I have heard so far.

Period. Don't know what kind of hip hop you're used to hearing, but Common, for more than a decade now, has been behind some of the most refreshing hip hop to come out of Chicago. He deserves all the success he's getting. Common is a fantastic rapper, Cenzo. Period.

This should be scrapped immediately. None of these people look remotely close to their parts and its just gonna be a huge failure, which will likely result in killing off superhero movies due to the companies thinking they are phasing out. Current events has people everywhere wanting a good superhero movie to look up to, and this won't be it if they continue in this direction. I agree with all above.

It is disrespectful to these iconic characters. It is disrespectful to the fans and creators of these characters. It is disrespectful to all of the artists, writers, and inkers who have worked on their comic books and cartoons. I hope the resulting boxoffice catastrophe leaves the smug WB execs homeless.

Not to mention he has the build of a toothpick... Put whatever size muscle suit you want on him but it wills just make him look worse because he'll then look like he just has a shrunken head.
