All right, I'll bite:
Superman...I realize that he's playing ANOTHER comic icon right now, but Eric Bana looks more like Superman than he does Bruce Banner (personally I thought Duchovny would have been a slam-dunk choice for Banner,
but that's a topic for another time...like, say, 5 minutes after the premiere lets out)
Batman: This is a left-field choice, but Gary Oldman. Who plays a pissed off half-psychotic loner better than HIM?
Robin: Corey Haim needs something to base his comeback around. What could be better?
Wonder Woman: Catherine Zeta-Jones. I will not debate this choice above all.
Aquaman: Aquaman was never what he should have been: the comic relief of the group. Yes, he was a prince of one of the 7 wonders of the world, but he should have been reminded constantly by the other Superfriends just how lame his powers were by comparison. Given that, you put Owen Wilson in there and it totally changes the Superfriends dynamic. And for the better says I.
Green Lantern: Are we talking Hal Jordan, John Stewart or Guy Gardner here? Considering they probably want to be as PC as possible, imagine Larry Fishburne kicking considerable ass as Green Lantern.
The Wondertwins: This is where the budget kicks into gear, as you need all the CGI moolah possible for the FORM OF AN ICE SLICK transformation. But seriously, as seriously as this line of thought gets, the chick from Smallville paired with Chico Jr. in a weird way works for me. And besides, the Wondertwins' Q Rating is higher than Wendy and Marvin.
Gleek: Suzanne, natch
