Throughout the bowels of the internet, people get a kick out of fictitiously casting their favorite actors as their beloved comic book characters. For instance, as an example, let's say someone muses that if they were in charge of casting a Justice League film, they would have Tom Cruise as Batman, Brad Pitt as Superman, and Shaquille O'Neal as Wonder Woman. I would like to take this concept and turn it into a thread.
So: Choose a DC Comics property to adapt to the silver screen, and jot down who would you cast as the characters in that film.
It doesn't need to be realistic. Your choices don't even need to make sense. This is merely a fun disposable thread.

Jon Hamm as Hal Jordan
Denis Leary as Oliver Queen
Wallace Shawn as the Guardian of the Universe
Green Lantern and Green Arrow are a little older, but we'll see how much wiser they are when they get saddled with a Guardian of the Universe and become:

Green Lantern: Mosaic dir. Boots Riley
(obvious choice is obvious) Trevante Rhodes as John Stewart
Ben Barnes (Logan from Westworld) as Hal Jordan - he's kinda thin so I'd imagine he'd need to bulk up to get that hero aesthetic
Kristen Bell as Rose Lewis Hardin - she would act as the audience stand-in character
THE SIGNAL (Duke Thomas) is DC's secret shonen protagonist so I made him a fandom wiki
also, check out "The Signal Tape" a Duke Thomas fan project.
currently following:
- DC: Red Hood: The Hill
- Marvel: TBD
- Manga (Shonen/Seinen): One Piece, My Hero, Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kaiju No. 8, Reincarnation of The Veteran Soldier, Oblivion Rouge, ORDEAL, The Breaker: Eternal Force

Zoe Saldana is Red Sonja already (in my head
directed by Robert Rodriguez or Shane Black).

Would be funny if they cast Andy Serkis as J'Onn J'Onzz, but he was just a 5'8", 54 year old Englishman for the whole movie.
