I could see Tom Hardy as Dracula � I thought that with the earlier list. Another decent set of actors.

I thought Tom Hardy was better suited to play Jonathan Harker in the earlier part of his career, with Count Dracula later in his career. There's a few times in Wuthering Heights where Hardy's a dead ringer for Keanu Reeves.

Yes, that makes sense. I was a bit slow on the uptake at realising about all the vampire iconography in Star Trek: Nemesis, which is where I first saw him. He was brilliant in that film.

Haven't watched it but I've seen the images � that would be something to see

I had Arthur Kennedy in mind after his work in Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. Who would you cast as Pat instead?

That's a clever idea. I'm just thinking about what he was like in the Inspector Morse episode The Last Enemy, amongst other things, and I think he does have certain Riddler-like aspects.

Superman (Clark Kent): Rock Hudson (Hudson was the person that artist Curt Swan based his Superman drawings on.)

Batman (Bruce Wayne): Guy Williams (he played Zorro, which was one of the influences for Batman.)

Wonder Woman (Dianna Prince): Linda Harrison (she appeared briefly as Wonder Woman in an unrealized TV pilot.)

Green Lantern (Hal Jordan): Paul Newman (he was the model on which Silver Age Green Lantern's look was based.)

Flash (Barry Allen): Steve McQueen

Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz): Yul Brynner (exotic looking with bald head)

Aquaman (Arthur Curry): Robert Redford

The Atom (Ray Palmer): David Hedison

Green Arrow (Oliver Queen): Kirk Douglas

Black Canary (Dinah Lance): Stella Stevens

Hawkman (Katar Hol): Charleton Heston

Hawkwoman (Shayera Hol): Raquel Welch

Snapper Carr (Lucas Carr): Bobby Rydell

Additions:

Elongated Man (Ralph Dibny): Dick Van Dyke

Red Tornado (John Smith): Michael Rennie

Zatanna (Zatanna Zatara): Dalia Lavi
