Last year, I entered a contest on "Here in Bongo Congo" wherein you have to come up with your perfect cast for a comic book-based movie. And of all the entires in the contest, I won!!!!!
At the time, I struggled far longer than I should have, but thought I would post all of me thoughts here so that I could share what I was thinking about.
I decided to cast a movie based on a comic book from the 1980s entitled "Adventures of The Outsiders". I was looking at this cover specifically for inspiration:
For those of you who may not know, the series started as "Batman and the Outsiders" in 1983, as a way for Batman to get a little edgier and move away from "cosmic" sort of adventures with Superman and the rest of the Justice League.
After awhile, Batman left the book and "The Outsiders" continued on their own. I liked the idea of using this group, as none of the characters wear full face masks, so it sort of matters who you cast.
Here are my choices:
Kenneth Branagh As Geo-Force
 |
| You might know him as Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter |
Vin Diesel As Metamorpho
Jamie Chung As Katana
Jessica Biel As Looker
Donald Glover As Black Lightning
and AnnaSophia Robb as Halo
So there you go....my choices for a rather obscure (to the general public) group of superheroes. I actually enjoyed putting this together. The hardest part was finding a decent image of Halo, one that captures her youth and naiveté.
