Hawkman and Hawkgirl would probably be the best to play that role in the JL.
That of the noble warrior who is more willing to chop heads off than Supes or Bats.
But while JLU got that the memo wasn't passed to the mainstream enough.
Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.I'm not sure fans at the time really cared much about that specifically.
Fans are generally harder on Superman Elsewords now than they used to be - and really Elseworlds in general. The post-Injustice fanbase is much more opposed to moral examinations of Superman than previously.
Both Kingdom Come and Red Son - the latter of which features an eviler authoritarian Superman that definitely inspired Justice Lord Superman, who later inspired Injustice Superman - are both considered well regarded classics. But if they came out nowadays, I'm not sure the fanbase would regard them the same way.

Batman was probably more brutal if not murderous in nineties Elseworlds than Superman.
Vampire Batman who drained his foes dry, Pirate Batman who literally ran the Joker thru with a sword, Prohibition Era Batman who shot a machinegun, French Revolution Batman, Knight of the Round Table Batman, Red Son terrorist Batman, mindless monster Batman who fought magus Joker in a fantasy land, Nosferatu Batman in Expressionist twenties, evil Batman who fought heroine Catwoman, evil Batman and Catwoman who fought a heroic Police Commish Joker, all of those went by and didn't alter anyone's idea of Batman.

My AO3Mikaela Hoover and Christopher Mac Donald have been added to play Cat Grant and Ron Troupe.
Beck Bennet has also been brought on to be playing Steve Lombard.
Sol Rodríguez and David Denman are joining the show. Denman's role is being kept hidden, but Rodriguez is playing Sasha Bordeaux the cyborg spy from Checkmate.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."The only Christopher McDonald I could find is the 69-year old actor who played mostly supporting roles and the only movie I've watched that had him was Terminal Velocity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McDonald
If this is indeed him, he also voiced Jor-El in Superman: TAS and JLU. But I'm also drawing blank on anyone specifically spelled Christopher Macdonald.
Set! Avenge! "Henshin." Black General! Bujin Sword! Ready, Fight!Looking at Ron Troupe in the comics and he's a black guy so unless they're actually racelifting him (and hopefully they don't) most likely the Christopher Macdonald being mentioned is a completely new actor.
EDIT: I found a Hollywood Reporter article that also reported on Christopher Macdonald (though they spell his last name as McDonald) and he is mentioned as being a newcomer.

Here is the link. And doing a google image search brought me to a threads and instagram post that also mentioned the casting while showing an African-American man (but have his last name spelled as Macdonald).

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Yes the more warlike Wonder Woman was intended to be a bad thing, but like a lot of stuff Waid wrote people missed the point of that and started more commonly writing Diana as more of an aggressive blood-monger with a sword afterwards.
