Young Justice: The Movie Cast
Okay, a lot of you have been submitting ideas about who should play the cast. A lot of your ideas were pretty good, and kinda got me thinking about recasting my original selection. I'm reposting as a separate chapter because it got deleted when I uploaded Part One. I chose my characters based on how old they looked, how close to the character they looked, and their ability to play the character. So with out further ado, here is you cast for YJ: The Movie.
Robin/Tim Drake (Gregory Smith): An unknown unless you watch the show 'Everwood,' I was just flipping through channels when I saw him throwing a tantrum at his TV dad. At first I thought he was just a whinny kid actor, but after watching a bit longer I saw that he had a good range of acting emotions. The way I figured, if he could do angst he could play Robin.
Superboy/Kon-el (Jason Marsdon): All right, why I didn't pick Tom Welling. I wanted someone who could do the humor side of Kon, as we all know he's the clown of YJ. Also, Kon's a person who's complex but only on the inside. You never see him wearing his emotions on his sleeve; any conflict you see is internal. Marsdon, if you remember 'Boy Meets World', Jason was the center of comedic action.
Impulse/Bart Allen (Joseph Gordon-Levitt): I picked him for the pure simple fact that he looks just like Bart. Nuff said, not only that he's got a great range of acting, proving that he can play an adolescent in 'Third Rock,' and a more mature teen in 'Ten Things I Hate About You.' Since I aged the characters a bit, this part would be a perfect role for him.
Secret/Suzie/Greta (Alison Mack): Ok, I know what you're thinking, "Not the whinny girl from 'Smallville.'" She may play a more angst-ridden character on Smallville as Chloe, but she is indeed a body double for Secret. She could easily play off the innocent, naïve Secret while at the same time play the darker and eerier "Warder of Death" character. In my opinion a good choice.
Arrowette/Cissie King-Jones (Larissa Oleynik): This one, I must admit, was the first character I chose. I had been going on sites looking at whom others had chosen for the roles, and one site had her down as Cissie. At first I said no then went back to searching, after a while I had to change my mind and agree with it. Good acting abilities, plus experience, and can easily portray a teenager.
Wonder Girl/Cassie Sandsmark (Amanda Bynes): This one kind of came to me out of the blue, even right now as I'm writing this I don't know why I chose her. She would be a good actress to play a character in the movie, diverse and can do comedy and a little bit of drama. But I might chose her to be Arrowette and make Larissa Oleynik my choice for Wonder Girl, what do you guys think?
Empress/Anita Fite (Raven): To me, I think that Raven is a no brainer. She plays a variety of characters on her show 'That's So Raven,' one of them being a Jamaican accented fortuneteller in one episode. But also because once again the likeness of her and the character are uncannily similar, plus this is a character that really does suit her. She's a little younger than the rest of the others, and just learning how to be a super hero.
Harm/Billy (David Gallagher): Another one that came to me out of the blue. This one is interesting because you wouldn't expect him to play a character like this, but if you remember he voiced the character Riku in the game 'Kingdom Hearts.' Riku was a confused character about good and evil, although Harm may not be confused, David has a pretty good evil voice. When I was playing the game, I didn't know it was him until I looked at the credits in the back of the manual.
Okay so these are my choices, what do you guys think. Any ideas, anyone I missed other than Ray and Slo-bo? Do you guys have any more suggestions on who should play the leads? Any more suggestions an be sent to by e-mail or posted on my fan site, Young Just Us. Info on how to get there is on my bio page, or you can just leave a message in the review box. Part two coming soon!
