Deadman and Dark Phoenix

Continued from yesterday's cover, we see that reforming Jean was a bigger job than Boston Brand had anticipated...

With Deadman set to be one of the stars of the Justice League Dark movie, I wonder what actor would work well in the role. I liked how the animated Deadman on Justice League Unlimited had a very distinct speaking voice that other actors that he was in possession of could emulate.  The role also calls for someone who won't mind being under full head makeup for all or most of the film.  Finally, Boston Brand has always had a sense of humor, so an actor with good comic timing would be a plus.  I could see Brad Pitt having fun with the part ten-fifteen years ago, but he may be considered too old and big of a star to be considered now.
