I would say choosing Henry Cavill was the obvious choice for Superman in Dawn of Justice. But given DC has made a habit of recasting Superman, I guess we could have just as well expected this particular incarnation to be portrayed by someone else.
They eventually decided for Cavill, and apparently he will also return of Justice League Part One and for Justice League Part Two.
What it is about Cavill that makes him such a keeper in the eyes of DC, I don't know, but I think sticking to him is not at all a bad idea in the long run.
Wonder Woman

There seems to a consensus of opinion among fans that Gall Gadot isn't quite the most inspired move they could have made for Wonder Woman. But like it or not, DC has struck a multi-picture deal.
Thus, Gadot is confirmed for both upcoming Justice League movies and for a solo outing in the following years. So, naysayers should swallow their dissatisfaction and embrace DC's choice. Why?
It seems, as unconfirmed tidbits profess, that Gadot was chosen over the likes of Olga Kurylenko and Elodie Yung after screen testing. So, she must have earned her place in the cast if she managed to outclass the said contenders.
Given the fact the plot is well kept under wraps, it's unclear how Snyder will slot Princess Diana of Themyscira in. However, what seems to be certain is, as far as her origins are concerned, she is a demi-goddess, as producer Charles Roven has already confirmed.
Fathered by none other than Zeus, she'll probably make a dent in the plot and won't just confine to a "decorative" role.
Speaking about characters that won't go unnoticed"¦
Aquaman

The King of the Seven Seas has been in the limelight ever since Jason Momoa was confirmed for Dawn of Justice back in October 2014. I might even dare say Momoa managed to dwarf, time and again, his colleagues, given his outspoken nature and dashing remarks related to his role.
And not only.
