Jesse Eisenberg is LEX LUTHOR!!! :snoop:

[Monoblock]

Can't believe they casted fake Michael Cera

I doubt they go with nerdy. I bet they go with @sshole like he was in the Social Network except multiply the attitude and ego by a billion.

That's what I'm thinking. I think he will kill this shyt, honestly. They're not gonna go with nerdy though. That would be retarded.

 

[TheGodling]

WHAT...



IS...



THIS...



BULLSHYT?!

 

[STAN JONES]

i dont know him that well. what other flicks he done besides TSN?

Only other 2 I've seen him in is Adventureland and Zombieland

We can't keep using the Heath Ledger example to defend shytty casting.

Ledger was versatile enough to capture the essence of the madness of the Joker. This dude Eisenberg...he's a skinny kid nerdy looking kid. Lex is supposed to be this powerful business man who does'nt take shyt from anyone, let alone some prick powered by a yellow sun who crash landed on our planer for who knows what.

Lex is supposed to be the type that looks Bruce Wayne in the eye and makes some quip about purchasing a startup that Bruce wanted for WayneTech and then rubbing it in but saying that they should do Winter in Aspen with those models again...that is...if Bruce is'nt so clumsy he breaks a leg and fractures a forearm and has to go back home on day one.

Eisenberg looks like he should play Jimmy Olsen...not Lex "Zero fukks Given" Luthor

Luthor is supposed to be Vladimir Putin meets Bill Gates...not Bill Gates meets Screech

You're going STRICTLY based off the physical looks. He's a 30 year old man. I highly doubt they're gonna mke fukking Lex Luthor into some fukkin "tech nerd" or whatever. You don't think that Jesse has the ability to pull off a character that would say what you just said in there? I mean, I'm not saying the roles are overly similar, but there were elements in his performance in The Social Network that make me pretty much as confident in his abilities as anyone else.

I'd like for Luthor to be jacked and physically superior to most every normal human, but fukk.You can't have fukkin everything nikka

I think WB is just trying to troll people at this point so I just give up....

 

[Swiggy]

 

[Piff Perkins]

They turned down Denzel Washington and Bryan Cranston for THIS?

 

[92Inc]

movie shaping up to be a classic

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

The entire casting department for this film should be blacklisted...

I can let Afleck slide as Batman and I can even try to convince myself that human stick they chose for wonder woman could put on enough weight...but that little doofy nikka from zombieland as Lex with a 40 year old batman?

 

[prophecypro]

Honestly I like the reaction more than the casting but they are both good actors. I like it when movies cast actors in unexpected roles and people are up in arms and creates even more curious anticipation for the movie,.

WB is really ratcheting it up here

 

[Silkk]

Who?

 

[HipHopStan]

Now would be a good time for WB/DC to get down and wipe that name off as we stare at them with the face.

 

[wire28]

affleck was but after some time i said ok it could work

this though

has to be

Where are all of these calls for a physically imposing, jacked Luthor coming from? Dude will never go toe to toe with Superman so why would he need to look like The Rock? His greatest weapon is his intellect.
