for Superman in Casting the DC Universe/DCU Starting in 2008
Suggested by thecastingdudeguy
Let's say none of the DC movies of the 21st century were made, and after their lowest of lows in the late 90s, Warner Bros bided their time to go all out on DC in the late 2000s. They spun off DC Studios as its own separate entity from Warner Bros. Pictures in 2005 and they will not be subject to the chaotic leadership they had in the 2010s. In this case, I am made president of DC Studios, despite the fact that I have no film experience and would have been 7 years old at the time, but still, a man can dream. If I had the knowledge back then that I have now, who would I consider casting in the DCU? ❗I NEED TO NOTE SOMETHING. If I have multiple people in a casting lineup and I have a "vote no" on them, it's not that I don't like the casting, it's that I'm not able to manually sort the names and I just do this in order to prop up my number one choice.❗
