Things it's important to know about me: IL KANYE WEST. Like I'm the 3rd biggest Kanye fan ever and the 2nd biggest living Kanye fan (Donda West was hobviously the 2nd biggest Kanye fan ever and no one loves Kanye like Kanye loves Kanye). I always think of Kanye as Booster. Like I would write fic about Kanye as Booster and Lupe as his Ted Kord (like srsly, I did it here.)

I'm glad you really liked it!!!

So much love for your Clark Kent, Jimmy Olson (eee!), and Cassandra Cain (holy crikies is she intense).

Not only are Corbin Blue as Olson and Momoa as Kent incredible fits for their specific characters (did I mention I love 'Kent's' intense look, supremely confident/good-humored little smile, and dorky glasses? have I fully expressed my love for 'Olson's' fabulous laugh (those eyebrows! hurrah for goofy) and comfortable, well-worn clothing), but imagining them together as they fight crime/newspaper deadlines is almost too much nerdy happiness for me to stand.

	YAY! I'm so glad you like them. Jason Momoa was suggested to me by my roommate and the more I imagine him in the role, the more I love him in it. I seriously think Corbin Bleu would make an amazing Jimmy and YES both of them doing their investigative reporting, tagging along after Michelle Rodriguez!

	Here via the link round-up. Awesome recast! loling forever at Demi Lovato as Steph. I'm also intrigued by Rutina Wesley as Babs. I think she's a little young to be Oracle, although she does have Babs' killer arms. Hmm. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I feel like Rutina Wesley has that solid, inner strength that's so necessary for Babs, yk? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I can't actually decide what I want to see more, this Superman movie, this Arrowfamily movie or this JLA movie. But one thing I know for certain, DO WANT. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

These actors and actresses look great, and some of them look absolutely perfect for the role you cast them for, but I don't know enough about to know if they'd be able to act the roles. Jason Momoa I know from SGA, and I'm trying not to judge him by that because they didn't give him anything that required much acting skill beyond looking the part and being angry, so you really can't tell from that what his acting skills are and I've never seen him in anything else. But OMG I want to see Gina Torres as Wonder Woman! Yes!

Yeah, I feel like judging Jason Momoa on his role on SGA, where he was repeatedly given no character development and was constantly pushed aside to continue advancing the plotlines of white people, is sort of contrary to the spirit of this meme. I've seen Jason at cons, both IRL and via videos and he's got the same sort of goofy charm and looming intensity that I think could pull of both Clark Kent and Superman.
