I wouldn't sleep on Eisenberg just yet. The casting was terrible, but this is actually the perfect opportunity for DC to bring something that is very underestimated to the table, and blow people's minds. If they can convince the audience that Jesse Eisenberg is a legitimate villain, they will earn the respect of a lot of people.

It's a long shot, but I once heard Marvel was going to stray away from the Avengers series and make a movie set in outer space with a talking raccoon, a giant tree man, and a human with no powers or special abilities whatsoever.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard. That movie was going to FLOP big time, and it was going to be the downfall of Marvel.......

Jesse Eisenberg is a good actor.

Lex Luthor, he is not.

He nowhere near portrays the power of Luthor. I thought it was the Riddler at first.

I think he's good in certain roles, but he has pretty much no range. Every role he's the fast talking intellectual geek. He's kind of like a more talented Michael Cera to me.

Like most everyone else, I'm not sure of Eisenburg either. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, but the trailer didn't help his cause. I was on the Bryan Cranston bandwagon.

I'm going to give Eisenburg the benefit of the doubt until I see it. Remember how we thought the guy from BrokeBack Mountain couldn't pull off a character as iconic as the Joker.

True; however Heath Ledger's first trailer showed me how much range he had. It was a pretty big transformation

The first look I see of Eisenburg as Luthor is "He sounds exactly like he always does."

This. I don't know that I had ever been so excited about a character based on a trailer.

Ledger and Nicholson set the bar extremely high. I'm not crazy about the tattoos and the teeth, but aside from that, he didn't look bad in the trailer. Not that it showed much to begin with.

Cesar Romero set the original bar.

I trust Leto to pull off Joker in his own way, but that's also because the Joker is a character who can be played so many different ways effectively. The original Joker, to Nicholson's over the top, to the Animated Seriesvarius versions (black reggae Joker aside), to Ledger's dark and enigmatic one are all so different yet work amazingly well. I'm not happy with his look, but at the same time, for this day and age, it does come off as crazy/psychotic as good or better than just clown makeup, especially with them seemingly going for the white skin period not makeup look.

Luthor has been essentially the same in almost all mediums though, not sure I'm gonna be able to buy him as a gang lord or whatever they've done with him.

If Eisenburg makes it work though... We may have one of the best acting jobs in a movie in a long time.
