POLL: How Do You Feel About Jesse Eisenberg Being BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN's 'Lex Luthor'?

should of been byran cranston,eisenberg is wrrong casting at its best.

jesse eisenberg is more like jimmy olsen then lex luthor.

Not letting me vote, but I say perfect! Have Jesse as the younger billionaire at odds with Bruce Wayne who he sees as finished and FIRST

Well at least Clark and Lex will be the same age in this incarnation. And maybe Eisenberg can lift some weights and take some testosterone pills, the movie doesn't come out for another 2 and a half years at least.

The first of many polls and editorials to come for the next two years............

How about an "I dont really care as long as the actor and performance is good" option?
i keep hearing from varius places (this site, youtube, etc) that he's a good actor.
and WE DONT KNOW what the directors saw in the auditions.
for all we know, jesse might have bested Phoenix's or cranston's Audition (if there were any, i doubt cranston auditioned for it)

I can dig it.I'm sure he'll nail it.

I'd didn't want Bryan as Lex. Would of loved Phoenix though.

This kind of castings keep everything fresh. They've certainly peaked my interest in this little movie.

Its deffinetly an intresting choice, i dont think anyone saw that coming!

Honestly, it was a HUGE let down for me...my hopes we're on J.Phoenix...he has the ability to look strong both mentally and physically...I've said I will hold judgment until the trailer/movie...Eisenberg is a talented guy...he's tiny though, 5'-7"...Supes, Bats, and probably even WW will make him look like a 12 yr old child...

TEST COMPUTER VOICE: ...Correct. How do you feel? ...How do you feel?
SPOCK: I do not understand the question.
AMANDA: What is it, Spock?
SPOCK: I do not understand the question, Mother.
AMANDA: You're half human. The computer knows that.
SPOCK: The question is irrelevant.
AMANDA: Spock, ...the retraining of your mind has been in the Vulcan way, so you may not understand feelings. But as my son, you have them. They will surface.
SPOCK: As you wish, since you deem them of value. But I cannot wait here to find them.
AMANDA: Where must you go?
SPOCK: I must go to Earth. To offer testimony.
AMANDA: You do this ...for friendship?
SPOCK: I do it because I was there,
AMANDA: Spock. Does the good of the many outweigh the good of the one?
SPOCK: I would accept that as an axiom.
AMANDA: Then you stand here alive because of a mistake ...made by your flawed, feeling, human friends. They have sacrificed their futures because they believed that the good of the one, ...you, ...was more important to them.
SPOCK: Humans make illogical decisions.
AMANDA: They do, indeed.

I dig it. All the casting in this movie is inspired and well thought out. Even if Snyder isn't casting people who resemble the classic portrayal, he's definitely choosing actors who match the personality and history of the character they portray.
I smell authenticity for once.

@Sintzu
Saying he isn't lex is pretty much saying you dont think he's a good enough actor to pull off lex luthor. I honestly think alot of people could pull off a lex luthor look if they shaved their heads.

@Bropus
I agree on that part, but a superman universe without luthor feels wrong, even if he's not the villain.

My guess is he'll probably be a side/secondary villain assisting the main ones, like the master mind strategist type role (I.e with metallo or Bizarro)

@ Bropus

When did they announce Metallo??????

@ Bropus

Thank god if they do not use Brainiac or Darkseid yet, those are the big guns and should be saved for future movies.

He won't be the Lex Luthor from the comics, maybe he'll be an arrogant rich boy named Lex Luthor, but he's not the Lex Luthor from the comics and that's the funny part because everytime someone change something from the comics you start to cry but you want a JL movie so much that you accept anything.
