The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨SPOILERS🚨)

[Deck Rickard]

Eisenberg as Lex was inspired casting. Shame he was written terribly, seemingly not directed and that he tapped into truly bizarre instincts as a performer he’d never displayed before.

“Yeah but the script was so brilliant it was written by this guy Chris Terrio who is just a genius.” - Eisenberg

He won an Oscar how could we have known.

I feel that Jesse simply isn't cut out for playing these alpha male characters like Lex, who need to rely on more than just intelligence to come across intimidating. The script did him no favors, but, either way, he just isn't that guy.

 

[Babillygunn]

Eisenberg admitted he never read a single comic to familiarize himself with the character. And it showed.

I’m fairly certain that Snyder didn’t either. He just looked at the pictures.

 

[DarkKnight88]

We all know Eisenberg was channeling Max Landis to play the role who he had just worked with.

He tried to warn us all!

Imho, Jesse would have been a better choice to portray Jimmy Olsen instead.

 

[Frodo]

I wasn't crazy about Eisenberg's casting as Lex at the time, and I was utterly annoyed by his Lex Luthor .

Other than that , though, I don't have an issues with Eisneberg as an actor in other stuff.

I thought he was good in The Social Network, and I thought he did a good job in the recent remake of an The All In The Family Episode, in which he played someone who was drafted during the Vietnam war, and fled to Canada instead.

His scenes with Woody Harrelson and Kevin Bacon were pretty good imo.

So , while I dislike his version of Lex, I otherwise don't have an issue with Jesse Eisenberg as an actor.

 

[Sverdlovski]

Given recent world events, we really need some good news right now...

 

[AverageMan]

The DCU officially launches one month from today with the Premier of Creature Commandos.
I think it's obvious we're getting some sort of footage/trailer in December.
I'd love a first look at Clark & Lois too.

I don't know about the rest of you...but I kinda wish this thread was more lively right now

Maybe next month.

 

[jetage]

I do as well. We have seen the photo of David putting on the suit, and the moon shot. What would people like to see as the next photo or still from the completed movie?

I really want a full face and body shirt rip, full on, with David looking fierce, as in ready for action. That or the Superman poses, arms crossed or on his hips, that would be my second choice.

Anyone else?

 

[dhandler01]

Maybe next month.

Yeah...I just wish we had some distractions.

 

[WatchProtect]

I half expected Gunn to post a Lex photo on Wednesday but maybe that would've been.. problematic? With people reading too much into things.

 

[TheGDBatman]

Maybe next month.

T-minus 1 month until we get the trailer

Oh man the fallout from that would have been...interesting.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Oh man the fallout from that would have been...interesting.

I'm getting really tired of seeing people argue Supes political stance based on him being a farmboy from Kansas.

Just... ugh. Stop.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

 

[flickchick85]

Nice, and that’s Dec. 5-8th this year, so we officially have something to look forward to in less than a month.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Maybe December will just never end. Can that happen?

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

I hadn't seen this particular set video from the Cleveland shoot before today. I did watch a very similar version that was posted online (and then here) a few months back, but this one has slightly better visual quality and a little more footage to boot.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[SupermansPal]

Here hoping it’s as good as this one
