The only problem I  have with Armie Hammer is that the roles I have seen him in tend to be quite clean-cut characters, whereas I was looking for a Bruce with a bit of an edge, with a dark side to him, perhaps the actor would be a good choice, but I am also open to other suggestions if you have any? Gemma Arteton certainly has the look I had in mind for Zatanna, so she could work great, the same as your choices for Thorne.

This is definitely meant to be set in it's own universe, it's kind of meant to be a definitive origin story for the whole Batman world, so lots more characters will be introduced later in the sequel series especially, starting out as seeimgly original roles that gradually evolve into the well-known characters we all recognise.

I haven't actually watched Arrow yet, that is definitely something I need to get around to, it seems to have a similar tone to what I am aiming for, so setting them in the same universe could potentially work. I have taken a look over your story, it seems really good, I like that you have a plan for each individual episode, I would like to read it further in more detail.
