    A yes, another stereotypical fancast.

    If people are going to do these things, at least try to be original with your choices (and do it for something than just looks)

    I think DC may want to axe flash and green lantern from the first justice league and wait for JL2 to bring them in, unfortunately.

    as far as Flash casting Zac Efron would be great. Chris Pine would work better for Hal Jordan i think.

    @cuddlebear: A Justice League without a Flash or Green Lantern is no Justice League at all

    You know, if they connect the Arrow tv-verse with the cinematic-verse then I'd totally be fine with Grant Gustin being the Flash in the movie as well. Would make things less confusing as well with a single Flash instead of one on TV and one in the movies.

    I don't want Hal Jordan. I really wanted to see John Stewart, but sadly, I doubt we'll get him since DC decided to cast lame-a$$ Cyborg. And, sorry, but i'm not optimistic enough to think we'll get two black justice leaguers in the movie.

    I agree with it not being a justice league without them, but them going with new 52 justice league singals that this might not go the way everyone thinks. But connecting the Arrow-verse is insanity, its a CW show with CW quality actors. I have grown to kinda enjoy it lately, people gushing over it, as well as smallville, is just like the whole world is taking crazy pills to me, but still it will never connect to the movies and thats a good thing. Trying to fit DC into a marvel shaped whole is the wrong approach (i.e. Agents of Sheild connects to Marvel so why not Arrow connect to DC.) The sad truth is that Disney needs Marvel but Warner Bros. doesn't need DC. so i also highly doubt that "DC is going to make 9 movies news we got today" again trying to put DC into a Marvel shaped whole.

    The president of DC entertainment stated that: "Warner producers to develop diverse & even contradictory takes” on characters for different media forms." So for example The LEGO movie Batman is completely different is from animated Batman and Nolan Batman. So clearly they are going to use a different person as The Flash and if Green Arrow showed up, he's going to be completely different from Arrow.

    I'd pick Mark Valley for Barry Allen. I know his near his fifties, but they leaves plenty of room for Wally West, plus he's a pretty good actor so he could change his age if he tried. I'd (*gasp*) keep Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, but send Reynold's to the comic books to really understand how much better he could be as Hal. If we were to see John Stewart as the Green Lantern, I'd cast Roger Cross, who also appeared in Arrow.

    I actually really agree with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Hal Jordan, but what about Aaron Tveit as Barry? Especially considering that they've aged the characters down in the New 52.

    @spideyivydaredevilfan26: casting choices are good, although it would have been nice if you'd made your own thread or found one a bit more relevant to your choices.
