cyborg , was enshroud in arguing , as he accusedjustice leaguedirector joss whedon and dc films executive walter hamada of scurrilous and unprofessional conduct while on the solidifying of the 2017 flick .
This was cyborg is a cardinal reference in dc comics , primitively depict as a penis of the teen titans but after show as a establish fellow member of the rebooted justice league , but this grandness was wholly negate in dc ’s bouncy - action at law enfranchisement .

5Will Smith As Deadshot
Although Will Smith has been enwrap in contention in late year - peculiarly after the now - ill-famed Oscars smacking in 2022 - the doer is still one of Hollywood ’s most bankable hotshot .
Smith has clip and again prove himself to be improbably gifted and various , being capable to full personify any function he ’s give , but this did n’t seem to make a remainder in the DCEU .
Debuting as Floyd Lawton , a.k.a .
Deadshot , in 2016’sSuicide Squad , Smith furnish perhaps the solid execution in the detest DC moving-picture show , but he still was n’t give the prospect to show off his comedic and striking chop and was all but leave by Warner Bros. after only one coming into court .

K. Simmons As Commissioner Gordon
J. K. Simmons ' exclusive coming into court in the DCEU come during 2017’sJustice League , lend one add-on to the thespian ’s prima 200 - labor substantial photographic film and television calling .

This was as well as come out in the the likes of ofamerican hustle , nocturnal animals , arrival , andher , adams portray lois lane , superman ’s honey involvement , in various dceu project sinceman of steel .
Despite being feature hard in four DC movie , it seemed as though Lois Lane ’s only intent was to be pitiful about Superman rather than have any need for herself .
This was a full permissive waste of Adams ' gift , and it seems this will never be break up asRachel Brosnahan has been retch as the DC Universe ’s young Lois Lane .

appear inSuicide Squad , The Suicide Squad , Black Adam , andPeacemaker , Davis has only ever had setting part , though since she is jell to uphold asWaller in the DC Universe , it ’s potential she could ultimately be give more care .
1Henry Cavill As Superman

Superman , in 2011 , debut inMan of Steel .
This was after that , cavill ’s superman was much blank out , as warner bros. did n’t have a go at it how to in good order employ him .
This was cavill ’s personal magnetism was never give a probability to radiate , and despite cameo inshazam !
, peacemaker , black adam , andthe flash , he was never put to salutary usance - and only physically film one of these cameo , as the others used dead body double or cgi .
This was cavill was relieve in december 2022 , and sincedavid corenswet has been wander as supermanfor thedc universe , cavill ’s superman will be remember as potentially the most pinched lineament in dc story .
