-snip- not as funny as I thought it would be.
[QUOTE=Xystus234;43738873]Lex Luthor is anything but Fuckerberg.[/QUOTE] And Walter White is anything but Malcom's dad but the cool thing about actors is that if they are good, they can play different characters. I don't see any reason to immediately assume it's going to be shit just because of past roles, wait to see how he actually performs.
[QUOTE=Xystus234;43738873]Lex Luthor is anything but Fuckerberg.[/QUOTE] In the recent reboot, Lex Luthor is an arrogant (but brilliant) shithead when Superman first shows up. But when he sees the super-human Man of Steel, his superiority complex pushes into overdrive. He forces himself to prove that he's better than some foreign alien invader - he gets in shape, pushes his company to new heights, and then becomes the iconic villainous businessman.
[QUOTE=Xystus234;43738873]Lex Luthor is anything but Fuckerberg.[/QUOTE] He's an actor isn't he? I mean we saw him perform as a very almost sociopathic businessman willing to screw over anyone. It's not a stretch.
[QUOTE=kimchimafia;43738846]Jonah Hill as Doomsday.[/QUOTE] get [I]The Wolf of Wall Street[/I] Jonah Hill as Jimmy Olsen
[QUOTE=mchapra;43738861]Idk, his performance in the social network was pretty great. I mean he can easily pull off a young lex luthor.[/QUOTE] It could work. Maybe they want to make him an actually manipulative young tech genius, instead of a bald and obviously evil guy that everybody trusts for some reason. The only thing I can't see him as is threatening though.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;43738737]Jeremy Irons as Alfred? Now I'm getting flashbacks to his performance in D&D.[/QUOTE] I, for one, will always identify Jeremy Irons with his performance in [I]The Lion King[/I]
Good thing that actor's can [I]act[/I]. For instance, the same person here: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6XGUhzfutc[/media] Also plays the joker, a completely different role. Directors/actors/makeup artists/CG artists are very good at changing people into other people.

Can you show me any proof of Eisenberg's good acting? Something that'll convince me that he's able to play threatening supervillain? Ok, even scratch that, anything that's different from his regular persona will do.
Leonardo decaprio as Alfred
Ben Affleck as Batman oh
Quentin Tarantino as Quentin Tarantino.
Haven't you guys learnt your lesson by now? "Urgh, he's gonna suck, he's gonna be the worst!" - 2 years later - "That was great, I always trusted him, best version of [character] ever!
I think it'll be good. Calling it now. This shit happened with Heath Ledger and we got one of the best performances of a generation. You can't just presume they'll be shit. Nobody who has been cast is a bad actor. If anything lets this down, it'll be the [B]writing[/B], not the casting.
I love Eisenberg, i really do, but this seems kind of odd for him. He's never really played a villian in the sense of how Lex Luthor is a villian. When he played Zuckerberg that was different, Zuckerberg was just a dickhead young adult being a dick to his friends. This is a multi million dollar villian who is actually evil, not just a kid who got rich off making a website and shafted his friends. I'll keep a close eye on this because anything can happen and i think he's a very good actor, but it also really does depend on the story of the movie and how this Lex Luthor will be written.
I think he's going to pull off whatever Lex Luthor they're trying to use very well.
I really wanted Bryan Cranston.
will he be bald
Out of all the better choices like Bryan Cranston... THEY CHOOSE JESSE EISENBERG? :suicide:
I want Mike Myers to play Darkseid
[QUOTE=joshuadim;43739816]Out of all the better choices like Bryan Cranston... THEY CHOOSE JESSE EISENBERG? :suicide:[/QUOTE] Well Cranston can't be Gordon [i]and[/i] Luthor
Tommy Wiseau should play batman [t]http://themovieblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Tommy-Wiseau.jpg[/t]

Did anyone see squid and the whale? Casting choice makes sense with that in mind
[QUOTE=sYnced;43739805]will he be bald[/QUOTE] He will be a good guy until Superman causes some kind of accident to make him lose his hair. And then he'll steal forty cakes.
Bruce Willis as Batgirl. Then again, that would be half the budget getting him there.
I never minded Affleck as Batman. I remained optimistic. I was a bit annoyed at Wonder Woman's announcement, but I got past it once they said it would be a small part. Then I Googled Jesse Eisenberg. Him as Lex Luthor? I quit.
I remember when FP was laughing their heads off when Heath got casted as the Joker and now everyone sucks his dick over the role. This may be the same thing.
