If Jessie does everything you said......yes he may turn out a performance like Ledger did.

I mean sure he may have the look. But his voice.. It just doesn't fit..

LMAO that transition from the Irons news to the Eisenberg one was classic. That being said, hopefully you're right about Eisenberg bulking up at least a little for this role, especially since it seems Snyder's big into that. But I honestly feel like the purposely picked him because he has that wimpy look cause if they're planning on going through all that trouble to make him like bigger and older, they might as well have gotten someone who already fit the bill. Just saying.

His voice is my only concern but in Snyder I have faith. I loved Man of Steel.

I feel like many fans whose dream come true it was for Jeremy Irons to be cast as Alfred they just sort of forgot it instantly and the eisenberg news overshadowed it.

This guy is an idiot. He seriously thinks the designes for the turtles are good? They look grotesque,and monstrous. and they shredder looks like a [frick]ing decepticon!

Bot only that but this movie is already riddled with Michael Bays Tradmark racism.

@MrBlackJack

I was thinking on the same lines my friend...

I hope he finds kryptonite and injects himself......hence losing his hair and becoming more evil....

Birthright and Lex Luthor:Man of Steel mixed in with the New 52 Lex.....

Still not 100% with this casting......I hope they prove me wrong just like Ledger and Keaton........I guess I was right about Clooney, Kilmer, Carey & Renolds.

Just hoping I'm wrong.....

Whether Eisenberg works as Lex luther can hinge on a number of things. Firstly, what version of Lex Luther are they going for? the scientific genius or business mogul? Will he be as powerful at this point in time or will he be the at the villain in the making stage? hard to say. From the pictures fans have posted so far, I would say he can certainly look the part. But I really loved MOS and the choices made so far. The tone and direction this franchise has established so far indicates they are handling the property seriously, which is a good thing.

Eisenberg is a great actor. They've obviously seen something in him to think he'll work. That is all.

about 8 of the 25 x-men days future past covers were any good.

glad the russo's are working on a script,must mean marvel are happy with captain america the winter soldier.

captain america 3 & thor 3 for phase 3 makes me happy. :)

the turtles & shredder movie designs look better than i thought they would.

irons will be great as alfred,eisenberg is the wrong choice for luthor.

If Nolan can make Batman's voice sound like he has throat cancer, then WB can deepen Jesse's voice a bit.
