Too late now.

I still don't know why they chose the Facebook nerdy guy over someone who looks and sounds just like the animated version of him.

The companies move in mysterious ways.

Because they're not trying to make a live-action version of Superman: TAS. It's simple as that.

that was the best version of Lex outside of the comics imo

Me too. Then Kevin Spacey. But they're not remaking anything, hey're trying to make their own movie. Snyder picked the guy that fit his vision, not somebody that's going to fit everybody's expectations. I believe I remember reading that even Eisenberg wasn't sure he was right for the part until he read the script. We just have to be aware that we might not get a version of Luthor that we remember, but we will get one that is true to the core of the character.

Poor Zane, no one gave a sh*t about him after Titanic. The man's a good actor, too.

Zane is now working with film makers like Uwe Boll. He'll never be in another Hollywood blockbuster

Who picked 'No'?!

The actor they went with is a better choice.

@teerack: how?

Too bad Zane can't act.

@superguy1591: he gave a great performance as a classy but arrogant and selfish villain in Titanic, a lot like Lex in the DCAU

@ganon15: He is a better actor.

@teerack: at playing nerdy characters

@ganon15: I guess you could say that if you want to only look at Zombieland and The Social Network and ignore all of the really diverse roles he's had over the decade.

@teerack: Sorry for the late reply, I just can't picture Jesse as that criminal mastermind we know from the comics as good as Zane can. So let's agree to disagree

don't be disrespecting Jesse Eisenberg :PPPP

Probably because Jesse Eisenberg is a really great actor and the other guy just looks like him.

I did.

After seeing this I'm mad now. Jesse Eisenberg's lex luthor has potential but Zane as lex luthor would've been a lot more believable. First of all, he has that face that says he's an asshole who cares about nothing more than power and the destruction of a certain red caped adversary of his. Second, not only does he have the look but we all know he can act like an asshole I mean we've all seen titanic. He was rich, he was obsessive, he was maniacal. All he needed in that movie to be lex was to be bald. He was the perfect candidate.

@noodleman32: Not to mention his vocal resemblance to Clancy Brown

No, Eisenberg is Lex Luthor.

It would have been nice but instead we got a limp wristed girly man

Now is a good time to update!
