I stumbled on this post: [link] while I was looking for pics of Perez-era Gar Logan, and it makes me want to read every casting post for every comic ever. It's casting for the Perez Titans, and it's remarkably wrong and remarkably right.

How can you write a piece in 2011 and eliminate Henry Cavill from the running because he's Superman, but cast Chris Evans (as Ravager)? Anyway...the author has some strange essentialist notions of having to be European to play a Markov, etc, which seems to kinda ignore the entire premise of immigration, etc. But I would *love* to see Michelle Trachtenberg give the little treacherous sexpot a go...that could blow my mind in a good way. On the flip side, Kristen Stewart doesn't need to go anywhere near the property.

Speaking of essentialist, Perez was so careful and deliberate about drawing his characters with different physiques that it's hard for me to put that aside when it's not actually crucial. Like, if I can get used to Jackman as Wolverine, surely Raven can have a rack, right? Okay, so why can't I see Kat Dennings in the role? Well, possibly seven hundred other reasons, including me never having seen her be dark and serious. but that is probably my shortcoming, not hers.

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen a Koriandr capable actress yet--maybe they can cast from professional volleyball or basketball. I can't even see a model, but it could happen.

However, his funniest funniest suggestion? Him as him.

He's got the right hair if he'd let it grow out.

I actually like Justin as an actor in the few things I've seen him in.

I totally dig him, but there was no way I thought there was a groovier casting suggestion than Zac Efron as Beast Boy. But, hello nursie! Jericho is everything gold.

Oh my lord, JT as Jericho would be GOLD.

Timberlake playing a mute character?!?

Timberlake playing a mute character?!?

A mute musician though. And he's still got his sexy dancey moves.

Okay, good god--if you don't watch Teen Wolf it might not mean anything to you, but Dylan O'Brien would be an amazing Beast Boy, at least Perez style, which is the only variant I've read. Like, I'll go picket the Sony lot in my lunch hour over this.

Comic Con animation for DC Nation Block: short of Catwoman in 1930s Shanghai.

Oooh, that was supposed to be Catwoman?? I couldn't figure out what that anime short was. They showed it at the DC Nation panel today. Beware the Batman sounds pretty cool.

Beware the Batman sounds pretty cool.

I can't get past the crazy gun-toting Alfred. Last time I checked Batman had a distinct problem with them.

Also, really not digging the art style in the promo stuff I've seen.

I couldn't find another link to this two pages back, so: [link] Young Justice footage from Comic Con. I feel I'd seen the initial reveal with Nightwing, Aqualad, Artemis, and Kid Flash but not the later parts with Ravager and was that Static?
