And i thought the cast for WW and Batman were gruesome...
Sorry, not seeing it. If WB were smart they would have casted someone like Liam McIntyre
This. But whatever. The casting for JL members have been non-stop Godawful except for Superman.

Need mo' Momoa.
I loved it when he started yelling Dothraki curse words at a fictional Conan.

In hindsight, I guess it was wise for him to turn down Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. Big step up.

OMG if they play Brave and Bold Aquaman. . . [wets pants]

Anybody else you wanna throw in the movie WB? We need a couple more to reach complete clusterfuckery.
Let's just toss GL(john stewart) and the Flash in too.

At this point, why not just call this movie Justice League?? It has almost all the Justice League in it already....
I don't think its going to happen that way. This movie will be strictly Batman vs Superman with Wonder Woman lurking around. Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash and whoever else they decide to throw in will just make cameos to set up the Justice League movie that is coming out after BvS (Rumored to be 2017)
Batman and Superman are going to fight until the end of act two then they will team up in act 3 to take down Lex and whoever else the villain is.
A lot of people think Aquaman is pissed bc of the world engine messing up the Indian Ocean in MoS. Not a bad idea to draw him into the universe.

I just can't see him in a JL movie and not getting completely overshadowed by Batman.And GA!

It's becoming a massive hybrid origin firm. The beginning of a league of crime fighters. A Dawn of Justice, if you will.

Yeah this is pretty funny. It all seems like a hot mess to me. Rushing to jump aboard a boat they missed initially. Slow the fuck down; but everytime I express that people act like I am being unfair. Meh...

And GA!
I so want this to happen, especially since he's finally becoming his own character and not a batman copy like in the beginning.
Sadly, there's no way WB will put him in MvB/JL
Though, if WB gets desperate then maybe....
His theme song should be Radioactive
In a world where the studio that brought you Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter based on beloved existing properties, following the critical and commercial success of an X-Men film advertised with 25 individual named characters on separate Empire Magazine covers, comes an audience who acts like they've never seen an ensemble film before with named but minor characters able only to thoughtlessly belch the unfounded criticism of "bloated."
who doesn't get overshadowed by batman? He got first billing in a superman sequel. At one point in the movie, Bruce should take Clark's milkshake and drink it.

This is ridiculous, i want a solo superman movie none of this justice league rubbish.
I am more of a DC fan than Marvel, but this reeks of DC trying to play catchup to the Marvel gravy train. It is pathetic.

Keep your crappy third-tier actors from fourth-tier TV networks away from my movies.

Is Idris Elba John Stewart Yet?
I know, right? I mean, it's not like they've been trying to make a JL movie since like 2007 or anything. Totally just bandwagon jumping.
...Have you watched Arrow? Amell is pretty damn good in the role. He even does most of his own stunts.
This casting is great though. I thought it was good back when it was rumored.

Yeah, Momoa is a good actor, but I can't really picture him as Aquaman. Still, he could surprise everyone.
I'll wait and see what direction they take the character.

Every thread... it's like people learned nothing from Days of Future Past.
We were supposed to learn something from "X-Men: Fuck it, we need a mulligan"?

Don't rush to judgement, maybe? "TOO MANY MUTANTS WAAAH, QUICKSILVER IS STUPID LOOKING AND A JAB AT MARVEL WAAAH, GIVE XMEN BACK TO MARVEL WAAAAH, MARVEL STUDIOS METHOD IS THE ONLY WAY WAAAAH."

That's not the problem, the problem is that it's called "Batman v Superman".

Not Adrian grenier? Lol
So, nevermind that the subtitle hints towards the Justice League, because the movie is called that it can't have other characters or cameos?

i remember when gaf thought xmen dofp would be a shitty clusterfuck too.
but then again this film doesn't have the cast that did, nor the director. we'll see though. i'm skeptical but not calling out doom either

No, it is called "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice". Bats and Supes will be the core characters, but all others will be there to start the storyline train to the full blown Justice League movie.
At this point I believe that movie will be 80% concerned about pissed off Batman that will want to beat some sense into Superman, and that the 20% of the film will cover the other heroes and villains who will also be pissed off at Supes [but will eventually in later films slot into their usual comic book positions].

I don't see how that is a downgrade...
The general public knows fuck all about Drax, but the general public still thinks all Aquaman do is talk to fish as he rides his scooter underwater. I am sure they will go with the NU52 "serious business" Aquaman.
Maybe he gets a similar role like he did in the DC Universe online CGI trailer.
