Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Superman Related Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor?

I saw a couple of days that Jesse Eisenberg has been cast as Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman/Batman movie. I'm just wondering if anyone else thinks this is an odd choice?

I know I haven't seen a lot of his work, but I've never seen him exude the menace and evil that I've always pictured Lex Luthor to possess.
It was one of the things I liked about the casting of John Shea as Lex in Lois and Clark. Yes, most of the time you could see why the greater part of Metropolis believed him to be a good guy, but when he needed to turn on the evil, he did it in spades.

To me, Jesse Eisenberg seems like a weak choice. Hopefully he'll surprise me.

We've been discussing this over at This Thread , but you're probably right. This is more Superman Related than Off-Topic.

On that final thought, I saw something online where Jennifer Garner mentioned the Affeck family was moving to Detroit (John will be happy) for the summer to film "Batman... er... Superman with Batman movie". When someone so close to the movie makes a major mistake like that, I can see why Lynn is so worried about this film turning into a JLA film. /Yeah, yeah, Labrat, I know. That counts as gossip. I'll shut up now. /
