#15: Kate Beckinsale as Wonder Woman huh? Personally if I were choosing a contemporary actress for Diana, I think Evangeline Lily would be good for the role.

Theres been rumors circulating that DC is trying to make a Justice League movie without going the Avengers route of building on previous films. Maybe that should be an upcoming post of yours Kal: A Justice League Casting Call. You can pick any actor living or dead to fill the roles. All DC Comics Characters are available. The only stipulation is that the actor/actress in question has not played a DC Comics superhero before.

Just think about it is all I'm saying.; October 10, 2012 at 6:08 AM

Kal said...: I would do something like those two page Justice League splash pages that Alex Ross did for each of the major members of the League. You could spend the first movie focussing on all their origins and how they came together (at the end of the picture) to take on a common threat blah blah blah.

I would love to see total unknowns that can grow into the roles over three movies and would hate to see major stars fuck this up. I think the LOOK of the film is everything. Have you seen that DC Unlimited mini movie. I want that kind of action. That is how we get a movie like Batman and Robin. George Clooney was a poor choice to play Batman and even he knew it.; October 10, 2012 at 8:58 AM
Erik Johnson Illustrator said...: Hm. I take your point.

In light of that subject, tonight is the premiere of "Arrow". Any chance you'll be checking it out?; October 10, 2012 at 10:19 AM
Kal said...: I watched ten years of Smallville so the CW owes me something cool. If they do this one right it could be fun. Remember I was a fan of THE CAPE so my tolerance for these kind of genre shows is very low. I am interested in the parts where he is surviving on the island for five years. Robinson Crusoe meets Robin Hood. Of course I will be watching.; October 10, 2012 at 10:22 AM

Calvin's Canadian Cave Of Cool Manifesto

I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.

I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.

I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.

And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.

So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.

Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.

This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
