Cast the new DCU

[Breogan]

Time Machine:

Seeing as Jordan was based on Newman and Stewart on Poitier (yes I know they changed his character to be more like Hal, yet I prefer the young creative artist thinks outside the box architect(opens the doors of perception) John Stewart, to the bland military grunt they've made him):
Just swap the brass horns^ for power-rings: Buddy Cop Space-Opera, with whoever can approximate the great dynamic of these two today.

Re: The Lantern Thread

Then to truly have John & Hal as a buddy space cop type they have to be closer in age so I would go:

Chris Pine as Hal Jordan
John David Washington as John Stewart

Pine's James T. Kirk was pretty much Hal Jordan in every way. Yet WB instead repurposed him as Steve Trevor. I think they need someone new.

Miles Teller / Hal Jordan

LaKeith Stanfield / John Stewart

Love both these choices.

Counterpoint: I don't give a F*** about Barry Allen, Wally West is always cooler and he fits more with James Gunn's DC.

Given the setting of a world where supers are already established, I say lead off with Barry’s death and have Wally step into his shoes.

Wally as the DCU Flash I can't see Gunn going with Wally at least not right away

Wally would be a nice fresh start for the character in the DCU imo.

John Constantine - Jonathan Bailey

Zatanna - Courtney Eaton

Looks up Jonathan Bailey... Such a Sawyer pick.

Whomever it may be, they get to wear this fabulous suit:

So many lines.
