August 9th:
Joivan Wade will play Cyborg.

August 21st:
Brendan Fraser was cast as Robotman.

Fraser will provide the voiceover for Robotman and will appear in flashback scenes as Cliff Steele. Riley Shanahan has also been cast in the role of Robotman. He will provide the physical performance of the character on stage in full body costume.

So is Elastigirl so far the only member of the team who hasn't been re-cast from Titans ?

Brendan Fraser as Robotman should be interesting. I guess it's just nice to see Brendan Fraser in something again .

I wonder if they'll do his robot body as CG or practical effects...

It's been reported Alexandra Daddario auditioned for a role.

Hmm, seems a little more higher scale casting. I guess she got bumped to tv real quick. Then again I think she started there.

August 30th:
That Hashtag Show reports some more character breakdowns.

John Bowers, who is a male of any ethnicity in his early 30s. Described as a blue-collar ground crew chief for the Air Force, Bowers was a witness to a horrible accident during testing. Something else to know about him is that Bowers appears to be a LGBT character as he is described as having a romantic relationship with another male.

Sheryl Trainor, a female in her 30s who is definitely related to Larry. She is described as a distant woman with two children and is now living with the fact that her husband died in a plane crash.

Von Fuchs. The character is described as a Caucasian German man in his 40s-60s who used to be a Nazi. He is best known as Paraguay’s village cobbler, secretly is a scientist who is involved with conducting experiments. The breakdown calls for the actor to have a German accent.

August 31st:

Alan Tudyk sure gets around when it comes to DC productions .

Honestly, this series seems like an appropriate rival to Marvel Netflix (the best of them). DC always exceeded expectations on television.

Never watched it. Can't get over a baby Bruce and all villians are older than him.

A former James Bond as The Chief? This should be fun .

Dalton also played the First Time Lord Rassilon in the Doctor Who story "The End of Time".

Casting details for Cyborg's father.

Not surprising to see them incorporating Silas with Cyborg as a major character. His characterization seems on-point .

I'm more curious to see which title will be the first to involve Cyborg's mother.

Well, she was supposedly in the Justice League Snyder cut, not that it ended well for her .

That's Grant Morrison's Robotman all right

I wonder if they'll touch his look up with some CG...also gives me a little more confidence in how they'll adapt Swamp Thing with a practical suit .

Reportedly, Bleeding Cool has the first page from the script of the Pilot episode.
