Who would you cast?

I don't know if DC/WB have any live-action superhero projects in the works that would feature Batgirl, but I suddenly realized who I'd cast: Summer Glau. It isn't simply automatic fanboy "Summer Glau for everything" reflex, either. Reflecting on her past work, I think she'd be great for Barbara Gordon. And, of course, I'd love to see her in the costume (okay, that might be fanboy, I'll admit).

Who would you cast in the roles of your favorite heroes?
Linux. Because a world without walls or fences won't need Windows or Gates.

Summer Glau always has just a hint of the "Innsmouth look" going.  I could maybe see her as Cheshire...

Hrm, as I sit here trying to think, many of the actors that come to my mind are too old or quickly getting there for roles I might give them.
When you insult someone by calling them a "pig" or a "dog" you aren't maligning pigs and dogs everywhere.  The same is true of any term used as an insult.

If THAT is the Innsmouth Look, I'd join the EOD in an instant. ;D
I'm bad and that's good.
I'll never be good and that's not bad.
There's no one I'd rather be than me.

...unless I could be Batman, of course. Everybody wants to be Batman.

Just a hint.  Her eyes are just a bit too far apart, and her mouth seems to have just a few too many teeth in it.  I suspect her naturally slightly unsettling look is why she made a passable death-dealing robot and the perfect unhinged genetic experiment.

Magus Prime

Well, I've always advocated Bridget Regan from Legend of the Seeker for the part of Wonder Woman.  That was until I saw a mock-up of Kate Beckinsale in the outfit.
For Batman I've liked Tammoh Penniket ever since seeing him on Dollhouse.  That's now a long shot since he's already in Man of Steel as someone else.  Another candidate would be Gabriel Macht from Suits and The Spirit.

Angie Harmon, for She-Hulk. :)

I've been watching season six of "Burn Notice" on DVD. From the episode "Official Business", I'd like to nominate Angélica Celaya (who played Angela) for Wonder Woman. Tall, beautiful, curvy and just a little exotic.
