jesse eisenberg

Jesse Eisenberg talks about what it was like to play Lex Luthor but he still can't reveal the secret of what's underneath that awful hair.  

An international trailer has also been released recently for Batman v Superman that shows some new footage:

The first image of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor has been released and he sure is gaunt!  According to director Zack Snyder, "He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure, other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.  Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake.  He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there."  I'm not even sure what you mean, Zack Snyder.

Warning: Not the safest for work.

I don't know what's worse: The concept of this joke, or that Michael Cera actually looks like he'd make a good Joker.... (I said LOOKS, not WOULD BE)

The rumors can end, it's not Bryan Cranston. Instead Jesse Eisenberg from The Social Network and Zombieland is joining Zack Snyder's cast as Superman arch-villain Lex Luthor. He seems a little young, small and not bald to play the part, but then again I never thought Gene Hackman could do it either.

Rounding out the casting news, veteran actor, Jeremy Irons (from everything ever made) has been cast as Bruce Wayne's stalwart butler, Alfred. This is much less shocking and pretty alright in my book.

What do you think? Good Choices?
