Published on March 15, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

A new fan art published on DeviantArt by Minsc93 suggests Michael C. Hall, known for his role in Dexter, to play Orion in the DC Cinematic Universe. The image shows Hall with the character's scars, removing his helmet next to a Jamie Bell as Lightray. Orion, son of Darkseid raised in New Genesis, is a key figure from Jack Kirby yet to be brought to live action. The art coincides with Hall's return in Dexter: Resurrection.

From digital illustration to virtual casting: the fan art process 🎨

Creations like this start from a precise selection of reference photographs of the actor. The artist uses editing software like Photoshop to blend features, adjust the color palette, and add key elements like the scars and helmet, while maintaining facial expressiveness. The composition includes Lightray, which implies work integrating two characters into a coherent scene. This process demonstrates how fans can visualize casting proposals with accessible tools, generating conversation in the community.

From serial killer to divine hero: a breath of fresh air âš¡

After years analyzing blood patterns in Miami, Hall might get to handle the Astro-Force. Instead of a portable lab, he would have the New Gods' War Room. His experience repressing emotions as Dexter would be useful for portraying Orion's contained rage. We'd just have to hope that, instead of solving crimes, he doesn't decide to clean Apokolips with his own methods. The jump from vigilante killer to cosmic hero would be notable.
