Both respectable line-ups. Good casting. I'm trying not to just consider how much more I enjoyed Morrison's JLA than the DCnU version.

Superman- I really can't pick. Both look good, and I'm pretty much equally unfamiliar with both.
Batman- I like A-Train's Batman pick better, wish I could give a coherent reason why.
Wonder Woman- I actually slightly prefer the look of Primus's pick, and am also more familiar with her credits.
GL- I think A-Train's pick for Kyle is better than Primus's pick for Hal. I'm more familiar with him, too.
Flash- No idea who A-Train's pick is, but he LOOKS good for the role. I obviously know who Primus's pick is, but have a hard time picturing him for Barry
Aquaman- Sorry Primus, your pick is good, but I REALLY would love to see Sean Bean play Morrison's Aquaman. An inspired choice, IMHO.

I'll be honest, I prefer the character of Martian Manhunter to Cyborg, though I know Cyborg fits the DCnU theme. Not familiar with either actor, though.

I guess I'll hold off on voting until I see what people have to say.

Flash actor is in the tv show True Blood.

MM Actor is the guy who got kicked into the pit in 300 and played Oenmaeus (sp?) in the tv show Spartacus

A-Train is your Aquaman destined to die?

Pretty solid choices, the only one of the entire selection that stood out as making me say NOOO!!!! was Charisma Carpenter as Wonder Woman. WW deserves much better. Not really a fan of Duhamel as GL either, so this one comes down to the director.

I'm a pretty big fan of both, but I honestly would probably trust a movie of this type in the hands of Zemeckis. Lantern wins by a pinch.

I don't think I've ever seen Charisma in anything so I don't hate the pick as much as others do. I actually think the worst part of A-train's cast is his director. Of all the directors in the world, you pick him??? Also, he stole my pick for Flash.

I haven't even heard of Primus' WW or his Cyborg. On top of that, I hate the idea of Bomer playing Superman. Even if he might look the part (at least for the New52 Jim Lee version).

Lantern's casting is just more solid... Wonder Woman got me..

With Primus's cast, I'm only familiar with three of the people in it and it's not doing anything especially interesting for me with the theme. I think Lantern-A-Train's got a solid cast with some great picks. I'm in the same boat as West. I've not seen Charisma Carpenter in anything and Zemeckis seems like an odd choice. Then again, never cared much for James Cameron post-Terminator.

LANTERN A-TRAIN
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Green Lantern Kyle Rayner - ****
Ryan Kwanten as The Flash, Wally West - ?????
Peter Mensah as Martian Manhunter - ?????
Michael Fassbender as Batman - *****
Jon Hamm as Superman - ****
DIRECTOR Robert Zemeckis - **
Sean Bean as Aquaman, Arthur Curry - ****
Charisma Carpenter as Wonder Woman - *

vs.

DARTH PRIMUS
Chris Pine as Aquaman - ***

DIRECTOR James Cameron - *
Matt Bomer as Superman - *
Josh Duhamel as Green Lantern Hal Jordan - **
Ryan Reynolds as The Flash Barry Allen - **
Colin Farrell as Batman - ***
Lance Gross as Cyborg - ?????

As always, dropping lowest scores to match ?????s, that leaves A-train with 20 and Primus with 15. Unlike most, I happen to like Odette Annable as Wonder Woman, though she is a bit young.

A-Train.

For those unsure of who Peter Mensah is if you have seen 300 you should recognize this

[Kuhan Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Kuhan]

I haven't seen 300

[Lantern A-train Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Lantern A-train]

It's so good!!

[Kuhan Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close Kuhan]

So I'm told. Mensah definitely looks the part. I think he was in the discussion for the DBZ movie Dream Team on the Dragon Ball Z Live Action Movie Forum (my first) as Piccolo Daimao or Kami... or both?

A-Train gets my vote. I'm sick of Reynolds and hate Colin Farrell, plus I like A-Trains line-up more.
