Fun Fact: It's actually been FIFTEEN YEARS since your original Casting Couch on Justice League back in 2010 so yeah time flies. And you know the people who commented back then "oh that's stupid Warner Brothers would never green lit a JL movie", even ignoring the fact they literally had DONE SO a couple of years back with Justice League Mortal which nearly did enter production... did people forget how you STARTED that video? Like Blockbuster Buster pointed out "Hey Marvel is really gearing up for that Avengers movie (as that was when they cemented not only who was playing Thor and Captain America but officially dated Avengers for a 2012 release) and that can only mean Warner Brothers and DC are going to want to do a Justice League movie." Which... seriously that's what happened; DC saw how big Avengers did and seriously pushed the speed up button for that JL movie and we all saw how that went and even those who super defend the Snyder Cut can't say "well that was a complete and fully rewarding experience" considering how the universe died on a JL cliff hanger so yeah glad to see you bring this back to talk about the new cast which I do think is fairly solid. A couple of quick notes I have about this
- Apparently according to Gunn the Batman movie he has in the work will not only feature a slightly more older Batman then Robert Pattinson (again funny how you were mocking Twilight actors in the original but turns out divocred from that franchise they can actually perform well) but will be working with Damian Wayne as his Robin so yeah getting someone who knows how to mentor a younger fighter would totally make sense.
- I would really hope after Gal Gadot despite some issues with WW 1984 and uh her later career proved casting an actor of an "ethnic" background shouldn't be a hindrance to Wondy casting especially someone who can handle proper dramatic scenes better. Honestly I thought Gadot was okay in the DCEU but think Adrina could handle the material better... granted biggest thing I saw her in was Morbius but like everyone deserves a better comic book movie then that... except Leto that was his second chance he ain't getting a third.
- You know it is funny how in your last JL casting couch with Green Lantern you actually got bragging rights getting Nathan Fillion... granted you picked Hal Jordan not Guy Gardner but still congrats. Though yeah also thought a solid GL candiate was Kyle Rayner which woudln't be at thing now since yeah I feel like when Geoff Johns came back super heavily into Green Lantern comics he focused not only on bringing Hal back but sort of burying Kyle. Like obviously John Stewart gets a lot of love still thus why he's also appearing in that show and yeah Guy's a thing but I do feel bad Rayner is so forgotten... that said I could see them doing something with Jessica Cruz. Like she is getting her own cartoon as well apparently though that's a spinoff of My Adventures With Superman not the DCU.
- I do wonder if we are getting the more fun Outrageous Aquaman since that sort of super into it party animal who doesn't care about his more diplomatic duties was handled by Jason Mamoa's Aquaman in the DCEU and Gunn would want to go in a different direction from that but again we'll see.

Wes Bentley would be an excellent Batman. Though I'm hoping for Alan Ritchson since he's so passionate about it. Great video! Sorry to hear Erod had bad experiences with thd comments on his previous casting couch videos, I always enjoyed them.
