When I'm watching an episode with ML, I enjoy ML, when I'm watching an episode with JW, I enjoy JW and I don't get a sense of anything out of sync on either one at the time.
But I do think generally overall, that JW played the character much more in sync with what I expect from Jimmy Olsen. ML was just a little too street savvy, grown up and with it for me. JW had that touch of Jimmy as fumbling around desperately trying to emulate his elders, slightly in awe of the greats at the DP, a kid trying to make it, that was just right for me.
Plus, I have to confess that having previously seen Justin do a stunning poignant and very moving portrayal of a criminal who was really a lost soul and not as tough as he tried to pretend in an episode of Young Riders, I was seriously impressed with him long before I got to LNC.
