I'm surprised Summer Glau isn't on a short list, that's who I thought would be the character.
She's not very good, you know.
Outside of guest spots I've only seen her in Firefly which I saw earlier this year. She seemed fine, it just seems like no one under 30 is considered for Marvel movie stuff these days.
In my mind Rashida Jones is more the regular 60's version, almost Marvel Adventures Janet. Summer Glau would be more Ultimate version.
I've only seen her in Firefly and Serenity, but Summer Glau was just...there. She didn't seem like anything special and I'd never look at a character and think "Summer Glau should play her."

X-23?
Well she does play blank, emotionless fairly well. An indifferent actor for a character I loathe would be fine with me.
I just wanted to bring to peoples' attention the amazing tweets that Fred Van Lente has been making as he has been live tweeting the PBS Superheroes documentary.

Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes...Which still isn't available in a blu-ray boxset. WTF.
That and Batman: Brave and the Bold, I swear.
Disney is horrible about releasing full box sets of their cartoons. They figure they can make more money by doing episodes here and there. That's why there's no complete box set for Kim Possible.
Batman: Brave and Bold is surprising. WB has been good about keeping their cartoons complete.

WB has just started issuing Brave and the Bold on Blu-Ray, within the last few weeks, and they're Manufacture-on-Demand sets. So, yeah, all the seasons will probably be offered, but I wouldn't expect a full series set.
As for the Marvel Shows, oddly enough Canada usually gets season sets while we in the US are stuck with the more episodic releases. Consider importing?
Superman is going to join in, and, in the eleventh hour, break the neck of the opposing team's quarterback to stop him from making the game-winning throw
It's okay though, he'll feel super bad about it for like 30 seconds
Jokes aside, I'm still kind of hoping against hope that they'll actually take some of the criticisms of MoS to heart and try to fix those problems. I think the franchise can be salvaged if they make the main theme of the movie be about Superman coming to the realization that he's made people feel small and insignificant, and work to put himself on a more equal footing with people and trying to be more of a partner to humanity rather than some godly figure sitting on high.
At the very least, I'm hoping that Ben Affleck will reign in Snyder's debauchery.
It's pretty clear that we're in for a movie where Superman feels horrible about Zod and Batman doesn't buy it, until they have to face a common enemy and Superman proves how dedicated he is to... uhh... whatever.

Considering the only real details they have said about the story is that it is heavily inspired by The Dark Knight Returns and the film is being referred to as Superman vs. Batman by WB execs
I'm really hoping that they might do something clever and set things up so that it looks like Superman is going to end up like the way he is in The Dark Knight Returns but introduce a counter force and completely subvert it in the end. Have Luthor come out in support of Superman and defend him against all the people who are criticizing him for the destruction caused in MoS. This Luthor would have a great reputation where no one really even suspects that he's involved in seedy deals and he wants to prop Superman up as an idol for the people but he'll be the real power behind the scenes. Lois would be one of the few people, along with Batman I guess, who has a tiny bit of evidence of what Luthor might really been doing.
They can actually deal with some of the concepts introduced in MoS and turn them on their head. Have Luthor exploit Jor-El's message to Kal-El about this great destiny he can fulfill and how he can lead humanity to the light to twist Superman's reasons for helping people to be more about bolstering his own ego and achieving his own greatness rather than just doing good for its own sake. Heck, throw Gordon Godfrey in there too with a Cult/Church of El. On the other side, you would have Lois and Ma Kent, and Batman I guess, trying to ground Superman to get him to retain his compassion and empathy for the individual people he's working to protect.
Through that philosophical struggle between Luthor/Godfrey and Lois/Ma Kent/Batman, the story can be about how Superman is prevented from becoming like the way he is in TDKR.
It won't make any sense for him to be allied with the government that closely after how untrusting he was of them in MoS.
A benefactor like Luthor I guess kind of makes sense, but I'd be pretty frustrated by that.
I think we're more likely to see Batman and the government each independently out to stop Superman from..uhh... being Superman? Snyder and Goyer are both on record saying that their logic was that Superman didn't have a factor in his origin to give him an aversion to killing, so they needed to give him one. I think Superman's anti-government stance along with the whole war for metropolis and the Zod thing will make the entire earth fear him, and Batman will try to hunt him down only to find out that he's a good guy and they need to go beat up Walter White instead.
I get that they said DKR was an inspiration for this, but I am imagining they will just take the fight and the personalities and remove them from any kind of story context what-so-ever, like @Crimsondude just said.

That sounds great and all but aren't you just describing a superman movie with batman riding the coattails? Seems more likely that it'll be the other way around considering Superman just had a movie and the Nolan films aren't connected at all.
Either way, it doesn't really matter. It's going to suck anyway. Zero faith in Snyder/Goyer
It makes sense to keep Superman as the focus and keep Batman a secondary character because they're much less likely to get as much backlash from unfavorable comparisons to the Nolan Trillogy which has passed from movie into legend and is now a perfect, flawless and unequaled work in the eyes of far too many despite a lot of the same flaws in logic and story that existed in Man of Steel existing in them as well. Superman, meanwhile, has no modern era work that has achieved more public acclaim than Man of Steel, though it was divisive. Letting this be a backdoor pilot for Batman lets the WB introduce their new JL friendly Batman without having to gamble a solo film on him. Given the fact that critics at least are going to pan anything that isn't Nolan's Batman, seems like a smart, cautious move to me.

Say what? I don't think I've heard anyone refer to Dark Knight Rises as "flawless".
It was meant as sarcastic hyperbole, but I have felt on multiple occasions like I'm telling people that there is, in fact, no Santa when I point out certain flaws in the films (especially the ones that come up when you try to look at the trillogy as a cohesive whole.)

Well, there is that time Tom Hanks met Barry Allen.

a cartoon based around All-New X-Men or Wolverine and the X-Men would be pretty enjoyable

I'd love for Tom Hanks to play another bad guy.
There was a Wolverine and the X-Men show and it came out before the comics.
It was good but got canceled due to funding issues or something like that.
Which still isn't available in a blu-ray boxset. WTF.
That and Batman: Brave and the Bold, I swear.
*cough*

She isn't blank or emotionless on Dollhouse.

Zack Snyder saw the amount of destruction in the TDKR football game scenes caused by Bane and thought,
Or maybe Superman just leads a lighthearted halftime show while Batman glowers by the score sign.
Or both!
It's okay though, he'll feel super bad about it for like 30 seconds

People just want to see them fight. So that's what the barking hoards are going to get. Don't try to over complicate this with logic or story.
