Am I the only one disappointed with WB's current cast of hopefuls? Other than Common as a John Stewart Green Lantern, the rest of them skew way too young. They don't look like the greatest superheroes of all time. They look like rejects from a Gap commercial. Come on! For once, you don't have to land the biggest stars (because you can't afford them) ... so be smart and just get good actors who can physically inhabit the role from the first day of shooting.
In other words, call JL artist Alex Ross and ask him to cast, art direct, and do wardrobe for your film. Don't go the X-Men route and try and make a "real looking" comic book movie. Make a "comic book" comic book movie.
The entire concept of casting your movie with younger actors with sequels in mind is the quickest way of dooming your entire franchise.
