      A Great post I read on a Different Forum . ... }



      I think a conversation between DC and Marvel would go something like this:

      WB: "Wonder Woman is a difficult character to work out on the big screen."
      Marvel: "Our next movie has a talking raccoon."
      WB:"No one wants to see a superhero associated with old gods."
      Marvel: "well Thor worked out for us pretty well"
      WB: "The Flash isn't a well known enough hero for his own movie."
      Marvel: "Yeah, we are gonna do Ant-Man."
      ... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

                      The Rock will be playing Hercules...so why not Captain Marvel?

                      The Rock is one of those few actors who can crossover with ease...the guy is not white, black, brown...no...the Rock is GOLDEN...$$$$$...

                        I've given this some thought, and I totally can see him being Luthor. The Leob era Supes/Bats title had Luthor all jacked up on Kryptonian steroids so I can totally get behind this. Johnson has great charisma, is a commanding presence and is getting way better as an actor. He could literally turn Luthor into a scary live-action character for the first time.

                        There are rumors floating around WB that he's going to be John Stewart. I dunno about that one. It would be a safe relaunch with Rock but with this being the first major black superhero to make it to the big screen, maybe you shouldn't cast it with a half Samoan. This would be a fairly major step forward, so I would think the casting would have to be race appropriate. Marvel has missed the boat big time not making Black Panther, so this is DC's opportunity to right some past wrongs.

                        Or, he could be Martian Manhunter. I'm beginning to think the Supes/batman title was a ruse from the beginning to mask the real plans of Justice League. There is too much speculation happening. You'd think with less than 18 months till it's release they would be further into production and have some info, maybe not.
                        I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                        If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                          I think he'd be a great john Stewart. I really liked that version of the Green Lantern on the JLU animated. He'd also be bringing a little lightheartedness to Cavill's rather dour Superman and a presumably even more dour and bitter Affleck/Batman. He's been heavy on the pump lately too.

                              The more I break it down, the more apparent this is Dini/Timm Justice League.

                              Makes me wonder if one of the actresses trying out for Mercy were actually cast as Hawkgirl.

                              But Rock is Lex or Stewart. He has more value as Stewart since he can save that property.

                              Cyborg, lobo, etc.,. Is not in WB's focus.

                              I'm surprised Gerard Butler hasn't been tossed into the Luthor race.

                                The Rock would make a striking figure as Hawkman, but I'm guessing Lobo, Darksied or Mongul, maybe doomsday.

                                Superman's going to need someone to fight hand to hand and Johnson's huge enough to look imposing next to Cavil without going CG.

                                I'd still love to see him as Capt. marvel or Black Adam.

                                He doesn't fit John Stewart, to me, but WB can cast and script the character however they want. I'm still hoping WB goes with Hal for GL but it would be a wise decision to go with John all things considered.

                                I like Denzel as Stewart if your're going for a more experienced GL, but if I were them, I'd try to cast Michael B Jordan and steal him away for Fox who wants him for Johnny Storm for some reason. He's a solid young actor with decent chops for a 20-something.
