These are the casting choices I’ve made for a Superman story set in a universe called DCSV. It is intended to be a series. You’ll see some familiar faces in the world of Superman and ones that may be more obscure. For what it’s worth, I am a big Superman comics fan. That doesn’t mean I can’t make miscasts, though I do feel like I’m at the very least a little more informed than the average superhero fancaster. These choices are not based on appearance. Sure, that’s a factor, but usually, especially with more complex and notable characters, acting ability comes first and foremost.
