Or "Hey, isn't that the kid from the Count of Monte Cristo?"

So apparently the early casting rumors were true, and the studio wanted Adam Driver (had a scheduling conflict) and Jauquin Phoenix (who passed). Eisenberg was #3.

If Phoenix passed I'd have grave doubts if I was trying to produce a true piece of cinema... if someone who really knows what good thinks your writers script sucks, if he doesnt see a character he can dig into...

DOOM.

that is incidental...
how much is this gonna **** up Batman movies?

They can do a Batman Beyond thing with Grampa Affleck mentoring the "new" Batman. Which might be good because it would be a new kind of dynamic after, what 2.5 decades of Batman on film? It'll all depend on what happens with Justice League, which is what this movie's really setting up anyway.

Too bad, Phoenix would have been tremendous

It's feeling more and more like they're trying to put together a live action Justice League: War movie.

They all would have sucked as choices.

Because that's what it's going to end up being. They are royally ****ing this shit up. They would have been smart to just have the 2nd Superman movie include Lex and that's it. They're scrambling to compete with the Avengers and they're blowing it before it's even begun.

Completely agree. This has the smell of a steaming pile of shit and it's not even made yet.

I mentioned it in the movies thread, but I recently watched that and thought it was pretty good. I was wondering why the characters seemed a bit different but apparently it's based on the New 52 comics. Green Lantern and Flash completely switched personalities and Superman was way less of a boy scout.

I can live with Superman's personality change (he was actually a badass in that movie) but I think Flash needs to be the comic relief guy while Green Lantern should be more serious. He is a ****ing intergalactic police office for ****'s sake.

I sort of think Jesse Eisenberg is the least bad casting choice they've made so far. He does seem too young and informidable, but there are scenes in The Social Network where he has an intensity and arrogance that I can see how it could work.

Mark Zuckerberg ≠ Lex Luthor

I enjoyed Zombieland and Holy Rollers but this guy is not Lex Luthor...

What a stupid choice. I'll wait for it to come on cable.

I'm starting to think we're almost setting it up for all being wrong, and he'll end up doing a fantastic job. Murphy's Law
