Inspired by The Justice League

I have two reasons for writing this post. One, I want to write about one of my interests: comic books. And two, I want to take advantage of the comic book fashion trend and use superhero costumes as inspiration for outfits. I also wanted to take this opportunity to post photos of hot half-naked men.

For those of you who don't know. There are two comic book companies who created the superheroes we know and love today: DC Comics and Marvel Comics. DC is responsible for heroes such as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash while Marvel is responsible for heroes such as Spider-Man, Thor, X-Men and Iron Man.

I'm actually more into Marvel than DC but since Marvel films are dominating at the box office, I feel DC needs more love right now. I've also decided to take this opportunity to share with you the actors I want to play the "missing members" of The Justice League - DC's "equivalent" of The Avengers.

Aquaman

Shop This Look:

ASOS Aviator Sunglasses

Topshop Super Lace Crop Top

Louche Bags Berkeley Clutch

ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt

BHS Beaded Flat Sandals

Potential Actor: Kellan Lutz

Now I know Aquaman doesn't have the best reputation. If The Big Bang Theory has taught us anything, it's that Aquaman sucks. However I think he's a very underrated hero. He's telepathic and can control the minds of both animals and humans. He has superhuman strength.  He has the ability to breathe underwater. He can swim at high speeds and he can see in the dark. Not too shabby, right? If you need more reasons to think Aquaman is cool then check out this article.

Batman

Shop This Look:

Cheap Monday Feline Sunglasses

Forever 21 Batman Logo Muscle Tee

Oasis Skinny Faux Leather Trousers

Ted Baker Patent Quilted Bag
New Look Patent Pointed Heels

Potential Actor: Michael Fassbender

He would need to go dark-haired for the role but he's got Batman's broody look and playboy charm. They may make him work out a bit more to fill out the suit but at least he won't need any extra stuffing for the bulge... (Those of you who've seen him in Shame know what I'm talking about...) He already plays Magneto (in X-Men) who's a super villain (most of the time) so he may appreciate playing a superhero.

The Flash

Shop This Look:

Model's Own Wayfarer Sunglasses

New Look Slash Neck Bodycon Dress

Forever 21 Lightning Bolt Necklace

David Jones Bag

Converse Star Player EV OX Shoes

Potential Actor: Ryan Gosling

Gosling has both the comedic talents and the cuteness to play The Flash. He's even expressed interest in playing The Flash. (Chris Pine and Bradley Cooper were my second choices.)

Green Lantern

Shop This Look:

Marc by Marc Jacobs Sunglasses

ASOS Structured Back Strap Dress in Bengaline

Forever 21 Aeroplane Necklace

Mango Patent Bowling Bag

South South Middleton Platform Court Heels

Current Actor: Ryan Reynolds

I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't an amazing movie but I did really enjoy it. Reynolds is a charming actor who made the movie work, in my opinion.

Martian Manhunter

Shop This Look:
ASOS Top with Swing Drape
Forever 21 Lacquer Cut-Out Chevron Necklace

Harrods Debossed Patent Tote Bag

Primark Push-Up and Push-In Skinny Mid-Rise Jeans

Faith High Platform Square Court Shoes

Potential Actor: Dwayne Johnson

The Martian Manhunter is an alien from Mars. He is super powerful but one of those forgotten heroes unfortunately. He shares a lot of Superman's powers including superhuman strength, senses and flight however he can also phase, shape-shift and become invisible - among other things! Superman himself once said that he was the most powerful being on earth! In choosing an actor to play The Martian Manhunter, I just thought about who would be able to pull off all a bald head, big muscles and wrestling trunks... Dwayne Johnson.

Superman

Shop This Look:
La Diva Viva La Diva Square Sunglasses
New Look Superman T-Shirt

Motel Rocks Zatchels Leather Barrel Bag

Linea Weekend Slim Leg Jeans

Converse All Star Hi 1980s Superman

Current Actor: Henry Cavill

If you haven't seen Man of Steel yet then do so! Henry Cavill has finally managed to top Christopher Reeve as the best Superman ever, in my opinion. (Look out for the LexCorp truck in the movie!)

Wonder Woman

Shop This Look:

Nelly Spike Hair Chain

Argos Wonder Woman T-Shirt

New Look Aztec Textured Skater Skirt OR New Look Inspire Skater Skirt

Forever 21 Cutting Edge Geo Cuff

Marks and Spencer Limited Collection Platform Court Shoes

(FYI, there are special edition Wonder Woman converse shoes around!)

Potential Actress: Christina Hendricks

Hendricks actually has the perfect proportions to play the comic book version of Wonder Woman as opposed to the Lynda Carter version. She would just need to dye her hair black and use a bit of fake tan. She's not yet had any action movie experience (that I know of) so she'll need training. However she'll lose weight during the training so she may not be keen on the idea since she seems very happy with her body the way it is - and who can blame her?

Would You Watch a Justice League Movie With These Actors? And What Are Your Thoughts on The Comic Book Fashion Trend?
