| OK, so one project I have been working on for some time is casting a live action movie. With the recent news of the Snake-Eyes movie, I thought I would share my thoughts.
 My goal is to not just put names in whilly-nilly, but to actually do it right. To this end, I am looking at people from various time periods, at specific points in their careers, and who will look the best in the iconic version of the uniform. All uniforms will be like they walked of the pages of the comic book/off the cartoon/brought figure to life.
 
 I am looking for input, so if anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate their input. Could be from MLB, NFL, etc.
 
 Any name with a * means placeholder for now. I also will be going back and putting a description of what TV/Movie/etc reference I used to determine the look and my reasoning for the choice.
