This poll needed a "neither" option.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Neither.

 

[RadioSha]

Henry Cavill

SO EDGY AND ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT!

Some people just have to make a statement.

 

[Kevin Smith]

This poll needed a "neither" option.

Said "If you had to choose". "Neither" isn't part of the game. t:

Otherwise there'd be a Gal Gadot option (or a "Where's Gal Gadot?" option ) .

I get that it's a "if you had to" thing, but I wonder what the point of such a thing is. To promote complaints about either actor? There's already been some of that without a poll.

To sort of gauge who has the greater fan "outrage" of the two on knee-jerk reaction, see which casting people liked better.

Why do we need to hear about fan outrage? You could have made a "Who's casting are you most excited about?" poll.

 

[Wise]

Affleck. I'd cast an actor closer to Cavill and Eisenberg's age range.

I'm not a fan of this Old Man Batman thing that's going on.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I have a feeling this thread is going to throw a lot of fuel to the fire....

 

[Kevin Smith]

Why do we need to hear about fan outrage? You could have made a "Who's casting are you most excited about?" poll.

Because most the buzz on both castings was unpositive initially.

 

[Smashlilman]

This Poll needs a both option....

 

[Kevin Smith]

Haha!

Choooose.

I choose these three.

 

[bluearth]

I would recast Affleck with Ryan Gosling which would be almost as 'shocking' as the Eisenberg casting.

My reasoning so many moons ago about Gosling getting the Batman role was that his charisma and youthful look would bring a fresh new spin to the Batman character. They gave Luthor a new look with Eisenberg, but Batman is still a middle aged stiff with Affleck. Can you imagine a blonde haired medium build 32 year old Batman if Gosling got the part? It would have been just as exciting as the Luthor casting if not more so.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Gosling would have not been shocking. He was one of the names rumored to play him.

 

[MrsKent26]

Because most the buzz on both castings was unpositive initially.

And judging an actor before he's even shot a scene isn't really something to promote.

But obviously you can do what you want. That's just my opinion on the subject.

They're judged by someone before they've shot a scene to get the part. Some without even auditioning (like...over phone calls! ), in which case we know just as much of the extent of their acting abilities and what they have to bring to the table as the people involved. I see no harm in it. Everyone has an opinion on things like this.

How about Gosling as Luthor? t:

I'd be down. I mean the "worst" has happened in a way....so what the hell.

 

[BH/HHH]

I'm all for Affleck as Batman so wouldn't recast that

As for Lex, I'm not sold of Eisenberg but I'm gonna wait and see as I have this feeling he's gonna surprise me. But of course he wasn't my choice, Matthew McConaughey is who I wanted but would have been just as happy with Denzel Washington or Jacqiun Phoenix. As an unknown choice Rob Kazinsky would have been interesting.

Ummm, ok? Enjoy.
