: I realize that this is way off topic, but ever since I've heard the rumored plot to the upcoming World's Finest: Superman/Batman flick, I've had a difficult time getting Smith's "Superman Lives" script out of my head. Most notably, I've been pining over who would play each role in the film.
: Allow me to submit my cast ideas, and if you don't like 'em... whatever. It's all in good fun.
: Superman/Clark Kent -- Dylan McDermott (Steel Magnolias, "The Practice") or Peter Krause (The Truman Show, "Sports Night")*
: *Either guy would obviously have to buff himself up for the part, but both could pull it off depending on the age of the character.
: Lois Lane -- Ashley Judd (A Time to Kill, Double Jeopardy)
: Jimmy Olsen -- Christopher Kennedy Masterson (American History X, My Best Friend's Wedding)
: Lex Luthor -- Kevin Spacey (L.A. Confidential, American Beauty)
: Brainiac -- Gary Oldman (The Fifth Element, Air Force One)
: Doomsday -- ILM (Industrial Light and Magic)
: The Eradicator -- (Voice of) Ed Harris (The Rock, The Truman Show)
: Cat Grant -- Helen Hunt (As Good As It Gets, Cast Away)
: Perry White -- Lane Smith (My Cousin Vinny, The Legend of Bagger Vance)
: L-Ron -- (Voice of) Brent Spiner (Phenomenon, Star Trek: Insurrection)
: Misty (Mercy) -- Bridgette Wilson (Mortal Kombat, The Wedding Planner)
: Deadshot -- Elias Koteas (Fallen, Apt Pupil)
: Batman -- Alec Baldwin (The Shadow, Mercury Rising)
: Jor-El (in Dream Sequence) -- Richard Gere (Pretty Woman, First Knight)
: Governor Caitlin Bree -- Lisa Spoonhauer (Clerks, Bartender)*
: *She has to guest star!
: Doctor Shuster -- Robert Picardo (Star Trek: First Contact, The Amati Girls)
: General Derris -- Hugh Quarshie (Wing Commander, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace)
: Thanks for hearing me out!
: Sincerely
: Kevin C.
