Yeah, that's basically it. I can't recall an Eisenberg performance that didn't annoy me.

I'll reserve judgement until I see a trailer or a teaser. ANYTHING that gives me an idea of where they're going with this film. Until then, there's just nothing much to go on. On a related note, SHOW US THE GODDAMNED BATMAN SUIT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!

The stuff about Now You See Me was funny.

Casting director: Wouldn't you call the sequel "Now You Don't?"

"Jesse Eisenberg": *blank stare*

Everything else wasn't.

@batz I don't think I've seen a person with such chapped lips in recent memory. I watched this video on my phone, and I could even notice it.

His next skit should be playing the spokesperson for the ChapStick company. ;P

1to10 got banned again? What he do? Harassing Marvel threads? I actually liked him, he really believed in his cause and he was our DC version of Intruder/Sage. He'll come back soon.

By the way, why do people need to pick sides? I'm not that thrilled for this trainwreck, but I'm still a DC fan.

Woody Allen comes to mind. Though it also depends on the role.
