DCU New Trinity Fan Cast

So with James Gunn now running DC, it was announced that Henry Cavil would no longer play Superman. This upset many people and me, but Henry will be starting in the Warhammer series. So Henry will be all right, but he did deserve better. I know many people don't like what James Gunn is doing, and I understand, but I do trust James Gunn. He does have a good plan for DC. He is writing a Superman reboot, and he says it will be about a young Superman, hopefully not too young. He also confirmed it won't be an origin story.
Sadly, these three never got a chance to shine together again.

Now there was some news that DC and WB are doing a complete reboot, so everyone is out except for The Batman franchise, which won't be in the DCU, Shazam, and Blue Beetle. Everyone from the Synderverse is gone. I did hear that Ben is going to make a DC film. It's a rumor, but it could happen. Still, if Gunn is going to reboot the Trinity and build a proper ten-year plan, here's what he should do for Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. 


Superman 

Now Gunn is writing a Superman reboot so far. We know it's not a retelling of the character's origin.
It will focus on a young Superman, and one fan pointed out they might be looking at Earth One Superman for ideas. 
If this is true, this could work. If it's a Superman inspired by Earth One, that's fine but adapt a popular Superman storyline to go with it. 
However, Superman, for a good reboot, doesn't retell his origin story. Make it more fun and light-hearted, and write the character as a positive character who never gives up. However, he knows he can't save everyone. Still, he doesn't give up because his parents told him not to give up and that there is good in this world that we must keep fighting for, and he believes he's here for a reason. Also, I recommend adapting the Brainiac storyline arc because that would be a good storyline to adapt.

Brainiac was going to be the villain in Man of Steel 2, apparently.
Another thing is focused on his job at the Daily Planet and his supporting cast. 

Now for Superman casting, I recommend going with an actor in his late 20s to early 30s for the role. I know Gunn is looking at a young actor, but an actor in his late 20s to early 30s is young. 
Superman will be the face of the DCU, and you need to get a good actor, someone as good as Henry, to take over the role. 
I would go with also known or unknown for the role my choice to take over as Superman would have to be David Corenswet. 
This guy is a big fan of the role of Superman. He does look like the character of Superman. 


Batman
Now Gunn has confirmed that Robert's Batman will not be the Batman of the DCU. This is a good thing because that Batman wouldn't work in this universe. However, what type of Batman will we get in this universe. 
James Gunn confirmed that his Batman is a major player in the DCU.
Now the question is what makes him different from Robert's Batman. Has this Batman been Batman for a longer time? Does he already have the Bat Family and Rogues established? Is he a dark Batman or a darker Batman? Will he have experience fighting aliens and monsters and gods like Darkseid? 
These are all excellent questions. 
This Batman needs to be more experienced, and he's been fighting crime for a while.
He's been a hero for a while, and we do have the Bat Family established in this universe. He's already got Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Robin, and Red Hood. He's fought most of his rogues like Joker, Riddler, Bane, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and many more. 
 In The Batman, he's been Batman for three years, and the Bruce Wayne of the DCU has been Batman for a while, like for five or six years. 

Now for Batman casting, I would cast an actor in his early 30s to late 30s. We've had so many Batmen on screen, and I find it harder to find a new actor to play this iconic character. If I were to cast Batman, I would cast Scott Eastwood.
I know Scott is my top choice to play Wolverine in the MCU, but if not, he would make a good Batman. 



Wonder Woman 
Now it is likely Gal Gadot will be let go as Wonder Woman since Patty Jenkins left after Wonder Woman 3 talks went under. Let's face it Wonder Woman 84 was awful, and Gal's cameo in the Flash has been cut. 
 Gunn will likely reboot Wonder Woman. 
However, how will Gunn reboot Diana Prince? He won't retell her origin, but it's possible he might just make the film a soft reboot, and the first Wonder Woman is still canon, but this is a proper sequel to Wonder Woman. Like instead of a wishing stone and setting in the 80s. It should be set in modern times and have Wonder Woman face off against a proper Cheetah who can be her Joker.  Have Diana get with Steve Trevor's descended Steve Rockwell Trevor instead of that wishing crap. 
This reboot could also build up Donna Troy, Wonder Girl, Artemis, and Jason. Give us the Wonder Woman Family.
This film could have ARGUS from Suicide Squad and Peacemaker. Knowing Gunn, he will make those series part of the DCU. However, I don't know what they will do with Wonder Woman, just don't re-tell her origin story. Have the character already established and give the character a better-written film.
Now, if I were to recast Wonder Woman in this universe, I would cast an actress in her mid-20s to mid-30s. 
I would choose Adelaide Kane
I recast Daisy Ridley with Adelaide Kane.

That's who I would cast as the DCU Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. 
 I trust James Gunn, and I will admit I am still sad for Henry Cavil not getting another chance as Superman, but he's got Warhammer happening, so he will be okay. 
Let me know what you think and what are our your thoughts on James Gunn's plans for the DCU.
