Two New Cast Members Confirmed For JLA Movie
TWO NEW CAST MEMBERS CONFIRMED FOR JLA MOVIE
 The names of two additional cast members from the upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA movie hit the Web today. The first announcement was that 32-year-old Australian supermodel Megan Gale would be taking on the much-coveted role of Wonder Woman. Though I’m not really familiar with her, Gale is a stunning, leggy beauty—every bit the Amazonian goddess she will be playing. So kudos to you, casting executives, the Outlaw approves of your choice.
The second announcement was that 21-year-old actor Armie Hammer (VERONICA MARS, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) would be donning the iconic cowl of Batman for the film. Don’t everybody groan at once. Hammer does have a slightly brooding look to him, but nothing on his résumé suggests that he will do any kind of justice to the role. No pressure Armie.
For those not keeping a running tally, these latest additions to the JLA cast bring the cumulative total to two actors over the age of thirty, (Rapper Common as Green Lantern, Gale as Wonder Woman,) and three actors in their twenties (Adam Brody as the Flash, Scott Porter as Superman, and Teresa Palmer as Talia Al Ghul.) Does this mean that Superman and Batman will argue over cable bills and who drank the last of whose milk, while Wonder Woman and Green Lantern discuss their careers and the prospect of marriage? Guess we’ll see in 2009, when JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA hits theaters.
If you can’t tell already, I’m not digging the idea of a ‘young face’ being put to the JLA. For me the JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED cartoons have always been pitch-perfect in their adaptation of the comics. But hey, I’m just one geek. Rant back and let us know whether you are thumbs up or down about these latest additions to the League.
