When I heard all the casting news, the role I was least concerned about was Jesse Eisenberg as Luthor. Boy, was I wrong.
I kind of liked what we saw of Luthor in the last trailer, but, like...does he think he's playing the Joker or what.
Also, WTF is Batman doing holding a gun?
Okay I didn't notice that the first time because I was too focused on Wonder Woman but WTF.
Ugh. Good thing I'm not emotionally invested in the franchise because that looks godawful. Thank God someone else is directing Wonder Woman (the 5 second featuring her is the only thing that didn't suck in that trailer).
To be honest, I like most of the clips of him and find it an interesting interpretation, except for the one of him meeting Bruce and Clark; that just feels so completely wrong.
Clancy Brown's Lex Luthor (and S1 Michael Rosenbaum) ruined me for all others.
If they had gotten him for the role I wouldn't mind Luthor not being bald. And dwarfing Superman.
Finally watched the trailer and felt more "meh" than outraged, though I agree this Luthor doesn't feel remotely Luthor-like.
My BFF's brother (a writer) told me he didn't think Mad Max Fury Road had much of a story, just car chases. I asked him if he'd been awake. He's gonna be all offended and I don't care.
I saw that! I'm clicking "Like" on your replies in solidarity.
