Batman/Superman movie announced for 2016

well, they do tend to enjoy shitting…

into their fans mouths

Isn’t that the standard contractual agreement for most franchises?

It’s official:

Warner Bros. Pictures has cast Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons will play Alfred in the upcoming Superman/Batman film.

Jesse is a decent actor, but Luthor???

And you guys bitch about Singer lol

Irons as Alfred, ehh a younger Alfred perhaps.
Kinda Random, but I’m willing to give him a chance.

they got mark zuckerberg playing luthor?!!! 0.o this better be young luther.

They should have went ahead and got Michael Rosenbaum if they were gonna go that route with Lex…

Hollywood is retarded… There’s as much nepotism and back scratching in these studios as there is in the WWE…

The issues with Wonder Woman were stretching it, but with this?

Welp. I’m out of here.

This would make tons of sense, because it’s not like it would invite a shitload of people complaining about the continuity errors between these movies and Smallville.

I honestly thought Joaquin Phoenix was in the running; I could have seen him going against Cavill.
I liked him as a villain in Gladiator.

Let’s hope its not a wacky real estate scheme again…

Don’t be mad, they are competing with Fox’s Xmen series!

  • :bluu:

People are gonna bitch regardless just look at this thread

I’m just suggesting that if you wanted a younger Luthor, there’s already an established actor familiar with the role. Besides, Hollywood writers clearly give 0 fucks about anybody’s continuity.

lol, uhh, how is lex, and or why is lex going to be like waay younger then superman in this movie. looks wise. jesse is almost 30 and still looks 21. lol. i mean, if jonah hill can go from superbad to wolf of wall street guy (which isnt a far stretch to be honest), then maybe jesse has some acting chops up his sleeve to pull this off, and im not sitting here watching yet another version of his mark zuckerburg/zombieland character in a movie.

this better be an oscar winning performance jesse, or im gonna… still just go see the movie for the action scenes. lol

i can’t see eisenberg as luthor, he looks really young (just found out that him and cavill are the same age), i guess they wanted luthor and superman to look similar in age

i think he’ll do fine though, i’m still worried about gal gadot being wonder woman

The only casting they got right was Cavil as Superman. I’ve hated every casting choice since then

I don’t think any of the actors chosen were bad, just completely wrong for the role they were given

I have pretty much no hope in this movie other than some cool action scenes.

Please go kill yourself Zack Snyder.

I was really hoping for Lex in a powered suit fighting Supes but I mean that’s what Marvel would have done for me. Now we get soft ass Zuckerberg instead. I get it. He’s the young hot head billionaire but he’s soft. SOFT.

The guy is a good actor, but I really don’t think I’m going to like a ADHD version of Lex.

Jesse Eisenberg as luthor? Another miscast.
Are they doing this shit on purpose?
This movie has all kinds of fail written all over it.

I’m waiting for some more dumbass casting now. Bring on 50 Cent as Darkseid
