Appreciate the thumbs up!

Yes!

And as a Tennant fan who just hunted down a low-budget Scottish romcom with a whole group of fans, yes. We it will get more fans into the seats. (Of course, I would see it anyway, but I'm one of the few Who fans I know who is also an American Superheroes fan.)

I also think Brainiac would be a good choice of villain. We've done Luthor to death (even thought he is EXTREMELY relevant to the current political climate) and it goes us an opportunity to explore different facets of Superman's character. Plus that franchise could do with a fresh start.

There's definite room for cross Who/American Superhero fans.

Lex Luthor should always be there, I feel like since the Bryne reboot you can have him as a supporting character/antagonist, but we need more. Brainiac is the logical choice.

That would be an interesting and bold choice. So that means the editors at DC Comics would never let it happen. I'm still waiting for Lucy Lawless in a live-action Wonder Woman project. Makes perfect sense to everyone but the suits.

Oh, and watch Doctor Who.

Sadly, people like Nathan Fillion and Lucy Lawless are too old to play Hal and Diana, according to execs. It's depressing. Some casting decisions have been idiotic (moreso on the DC side) but some have been inspired.
