Jesse Eisenberg is Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons is Alfred

Don't know about Eisenberg, but I really don't like the Irons casting. He doesn't look like Alfred, and he doesn't sound like him either. I'm not gonna hear Alfred, I'm gonna hear Scar from The Lion King.

Um.....ya......The Affleck Batman casting....I can give that the benefit of the doubt. This is so astronomically bad...Yikes....I can't even begin to picture Eiesenburg as Lex...not even remotely.

Apparently from what I've seen, people like the Irons casting.

I'm willing to give Affleck a chance at Batman. Irons as Alfred on the other hand? No.

wow i like jesse eisenberg but him bald? common is DC even trying anymore??

I like Jeremy Irons as Alfred, that's a really intriguing casting.

Eisenberg is eh. Depending on the type of Luthor I THINK they're going with, he may very well be a good fit but we'll see. I would've went Michael C. Hall, personally.

Are the complainers even trying anymore? Luthor doesn't have to be bald... I really wish people would drop that stereotype.

Luthor had hair before he was ever depicted bald in the comics.

While I like Eisenberg a lot and he really fits the mold of a genious I can't really picture him as Lex Luthor.

Not sure how this is going to work out.

I'll always think of Jeremy Irons as Hans Gruber's brother

This movie is going to be bad..........(hugs Dark Knight Trilogy)

If they wanted a scrawnier but older Lex they could have went with Nucky

Irons is a decent enough actor. He's no Michael Caine but I think he might be ok. I'd rather have Heisenberg than Eisenburg.....I don't care how old he is Cranston would have been amazing for the part.

There's a fan made pic, If he looks close to that, it's not awful.

He actually looks somewhat like the Smallville Lex (which I could see him portraying lex in a similar fashion)


I dunno...I'll give it a chance but I can't stand the guy.


*edit*Actually...the resemblance is pretty uncanny. I think as far as the look of lex he'll be perfect...

I may have somewhat just talked myself into him lol. If he plays the part like a mix between the Social Network and Rosenbaum's Lex it could work. We'll have to wait and see.

I dunno...I'll remember him as this.


That's really not a pleasant memory. Especially since I liked the book and that movie murdered it brutally.

It'll still have to grow on me but I thought it was completely out of the question till you posted this.

Now seeing the two pics together he looks more like my impression of Lex than I realized.

Trust me I know...I hated it until I realized how similar he and Rosenbaum looked and I loved Rosenbaums Lex (he for several seasons was the lone bright spot on that show)

Eisenberg plays a genius well so we'll see how well he fits the part once the movie comes out.
