      Holy "who the hell are they" batman! I'm guessing Hollywood has very little confidence in this project, and are supporting it that way. This will just have to be a hold our breath and hope film.

      @footsore - They are all pretty good actors. And I remember not really know who Hugh Jackman was too.

      I guess I'll have to take your word for it. I looked them all up on IMDB and it said "Who?" I'm all for ensemble casts, but usually you have one or two recognizable names heading them up. These guys have a few credits, but not many.

      Billy Crudup, Jackie Earle Haley were both Academy Award Nominees... I never saw Little Children, but Crudup was great in Almost Famous, and his voice in the mastercard ads is one I can picture for Dr. Manhattan. I just wish they would have cast John Cusak as Nite Owl instead of the guy they did cast, as he looks like too much of a pretty boy.

      Yeah I have an issue with the Nite Owl casting too. Maybe he'll... I dunno... slouch?
