DC Cinematic Universe Fantasies
By Mitchell A. Quondam
As a follow up to my fantasy-driven post about Batman in the DC Cinematic Universe, I had the idea to map out how I would advance the story, introducing new characters to the Universe and building up to big events like Marvel does. In this post, I cover the entire Universe, and give my thoughts on how WB/DC should go about their shared universe going onward
Confirmed Cast of Heroes:
Henry Cavill as Kal-El
Ben Affleck as Batman
Stephen Amell as The Arrow
Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan
Grant Gustin as Barry Allen
Wishlist
Gina Carano as Wonder
Woman
Benedict Cumberbatch as
Martian Manhunter*
Idris Elba as John Stewart
Garrett Hedlund as Aquaman
Joseph Gordon-Levit as Nightwing
Chris Pine or Matt Bomer as Tim Drake, the Red Robin
*Martian Manhunter being played by
Cumberbatch is not whitewashing the character. He is green, and only pretends
to be a black guy as a ploy. I would actually prefer if he didn’t try to blend
in at all, and just stay green the entire film.
