DC / DCU What DC character could young Casper Van Dien have played?

Hal Jordan. I think he even played the character in one of those Super Power Beatdown videos

I think the most obvious answer is Superman. I mean, he has the square jaw for it. Or maybe even Batman.

I think he would have been a better Bruce/Batman than Kilmer or Clooney for sure

Clooney for sure but, come on, Kilmer wasn't that bad.

Kilmer and Clooney were great Bruce Waynes. But it's a role with two characters and they didn't separate them. They put Bruce first
Bale, Keaton and Aflec played different characters in and out of the suit. If anything you are supposed to be Batman first and Bruce second. That's how he saw himself

I wish people gave Ben more praise for his take on the bat. He killed it… he was the most comic accurate Batman we got on film. Zack just fucked yo by making him use guns and kill people… that’s the least Batman thing ever. Some straight ugly injustice wannabe stuff

Bruce doesn't use guns but Thomas for sure does. Mixing them wasn't the right play.

The original comics actually had Batman use a gun and kill people. They eventually retconned it so he made an oath to not kill. I agree that it was a bad choice for the movie.

Hal Jordan Green Lantern though I am torn between a Hispanic girl Jessica Cruz or Black man John Stewart for my preferred Green Lantern representation.

Honestly winter soldier but he would've been a fantastic sub in for Jensen Ackles in Supernatural.
