My Thoughts on Why Jesse Eisenberg is Cast as Lex Luthor

Today, updates reveal that along with Jeremy Irons casted as Alfred Pennyworth, Jesse Eisenberg has been casted as Lex Luthor which was a major surprise for some fans and users on the internet. Some of them are upset not knowing how possible it is for a guy like Jesse Eisenberg to be casted as Superman's arch nemisis and why. Well I may not know specifically why Zack Snyder had him cast as Luthor but I can put it in good word what his reasons might be for doing so.

As many superhero comic fans have known throughout the years, Lex Luthor is Superman's arch enemy. He was brought to live in the comics since the early 1940's and has been very well known for his role as a billionare, scientist, and roughneck foe to the Man of Steel and just as the DC Cinematic Universe has just started beginning with last year's Man of Steel, lots have been debating on Lex Luthor for the sequel voting actors like Bryan Cranston to do the character and up to the surprise of many potential fans came the person cast for the character being much younger beyond any of our expectations:

Jesse Eisenberg


Surely he wasn't who many of us were expecting and yet someone we didn't want but me, I don't mind him being the bald headed baddie because after researching the character online throughout the past couple years, I'm sure that director Zack Snyder has a good reason for casting someone like Jesse Eisenberg for the role of Lex Luthor instead of someone older like Bryan Cranston, Callen Mulvey, Joaquin Phoenix, or many other actors rumored for the character in the past several months before today and this is one way to look at it;

Lex Luthor, the arch enemy out of many of Superman's foes has been the one Superman villain most commonly seen and most frequently used in many of the previous cartoons, films, and video games in the DC Universe and that because now that the DC Cinematic Universe has already begun, many of you are upset that a specific actor you all favor as a perfect role model for a certain comic book hero or villain isn't being cast and that someone you were not counting on or least expecting is being cast for any of your favorite character in the films. Well many of you people shouldn't be upset about it because certain setback in changes on how characters are to be depicted in films are sure to happen so often, especially at times like these.

Well to be honest, this isn't the first time certain characters don't get exact comic book treatment in certain cinematic films. Haven't any of you guys seen the error that Kevin Feige and the rest of Marvel Studios purposely caused on the Mandarin by screwing up Kingsley's character and ripping us off with Guy Pearce's Aldrich Killian as their excuse of an MCU Mandarin and to the fact that director Marc Webb purposely chose Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn as the Green Goblin instead of Chris Cooper's Norman Osborn in the Amazing Spider-Man 2. Well it seems that other than Kevin Feige's Marvel Studios making some characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe go different from the comics, other studios are doing the same as well.

Well stuff like this was bound to happen sooner later and if many of don't believe me that the reasons for Jesse Eisenber being casted as Lex Luthor has been because of how common he was at appearing in so many TV shows and films, then maybe it's because Snyder didn't appreciate many of you guys cursing Ben Affleck for being cast as Batman that he thinks that making the DC Cinematic version of Lex Luthor someone least fit for the character would teach all of you a lesson or maybe it's that Lex Luthor not suppose to be the villain of this film that the real main villain of this upcoming film maybe the other villain who is yet to be confirmed, which is very much likely to be Metallo.

Yeah that's right, one of the possible reasons to why Snyder and Warner Bros would choose to have the Batman vs Superman movie postponed for 2016 over needing more time to realize the film's visual and special effects is to prefect the cyborg super villain's depiction in the film. Metallo is way more serious fitting for the main villain role in the movie so think about it. After what just happened in the first film, don't you think that the villain of this film should be someone that survived the aftermath and is in critically injured condition and blaming Superman for General Zod's attack on the planet? Surely then again Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor maybe the lead villain of the film afterall but for what reasons would he have to oppose Superman and Batman in this film? Blaming the Man of Steel for making him get his  hair burned off, or making him pay off a huge forturne to have most of Metropolis rebuilt after General Zod's assault on the planet with his World Engine? Come on. That would be to obvious and not so dramatic enough. It has to be much more deeper than that.

Anyway just stay in touch for the film once it comes out

Batman Vs. Superman Villains and Spoilers

While production on the highly potential DC Cinematic Man of Steel film Batman Vs. Superman film is yet to start filming, it's theaterical release date to May 6th of 2016 due to Warner Bros. Studio's need of more time on making the film's special effects look real.

As it was recently reported that Ben Affleck will be wearing two brand new Batsuits, the two supervillains that have been highly specified to appear in the film for Superman and Batman to fight are Lex Luthor and Metallo.



Lex Luthor has been so extremely popular in the Superman works that as his arch enemy, he knows Superman's weakness is kryptonite and is ruthless, efficient and creative. He has been mentioned very frequently to appear in the upcoming Man of Steel  sequel and by now he has been confirmed. Only thing remaining about Luthor's appearance in Batman Vs. Superman other than what his evil scheme will be in the movie is who will be cast to portray the relentless foe.

Now as for the other villain Metallo, one of Superman's most deadliest foes, he's been heavily rumored to appear with Luthor in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and is close to being officially confirmed. As a deadly foe to the Man of Steel, Metallo is best know for possessing

Doomsday for Batman Vs. Superman


With villains for the upcoming Batman vs Superman film yet to be decided, speculations claim that Doomsday will appear in the movie as a villain along with the popular Lex Luthor. If so then the question is, who will Zack Snyder cast to play this deadly foe?




Doomsday is one of Superman's most formitable adversaries and the best known fact about Doomsday is that he is the villain that kills Superman, Doomsday is portrayed as a mindless killing machine, an animal with no feelings or sentiments beyond unfocused hatred, murderous rage, and malicious joy at destruction.

If Zack Snyder officially confirms Doomsday as one of the villains for the upcoming Man of Steel sequel and with Jason Momoa disappoints us by turning down the role as the Kryptonian predator monster, question is who will be cast as Doomsday instead? So far these are the best actors I could find bulky fit for the role in the film;


Dwayne Johnson

Michael Jai White

Robert Maillet

Kevin Durand

Sylvester Stallone

John Cena

Silvio Simac


Feel free to decide who will be casted as Doomsday while we wait for further announcements

Why Joker, Penguin, and Riddler should appear in DC Cinematic Batman 2 Film

With The DC Cinematic Universe now having to have begun in 2013 with Man of Steel, and it's sequel Batman Vs Superman being the signal to confirming the DC Cinematic Universe is now in motion, and a stand alone film with Ben Affleck as Batman awaiting production, fans are rumoring and speculating who the villains will appear. Some want Riddler, some want Mr. Freeze, but why bet on one of the dark knight's most popular foes to show up right away when it would be best to save them for later, like the sequel to the first DC Cinematic film where he along with Joker and Penguin appear as the villains and here is why in this article.



Now for the second DC Cinematic Batman film, Batman would go up against the Joker, the Penguin, and the Riddler to stop them and their men from continuing the gang wars in Gotham City and  before more people get hurt in their crossfires. Of course I'm not talking graffiti from The Batman animated series, I'm talking about lots of thugs, gun fire, fist fights, and blowing stuff up kind of gang war and doing so with certain deviations and extentions would help make this plot idea more official and interesting.

For the Riddler, lots of you fans are wanting him to be the villain of the first stand alone Batman film of the DC Cinematic Universe but why bother? Some of us want a villain with potential physical fighting skills for the Bat to take on in the first film so it's best for the Riddler to be the main bad guy in the sequel of the stand alone Batman films. How would Riddler act as the main villain in the sequel when Joker and Penguin are expected to be involve? Simple. When Joker and Penguin along with their men get into a gang wars with each other, Riddler and his men would intervene to propose a wager to the two crime leaders on who ever is left standing with the most territory and men or who ever defeats/captures and unmasks Batman wins control over Gotham but of course Riddler himself would intend on eliminating both Joker and Penguin for control over the city all for himself.

For Riddler to be depicted in the DC Cinematic Universe, he has to be played by someone with attributes of sheer arrogance, hansom, intellect, and desperation;

Guy Pearce

Guy Pearce has been known for roles in films like The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), L.A. Confidential (1997), Memento (2000), The King's Speech (2010), Lockout (2012), Prometheus (2012), and Iron Man 3 (2013). He also played Mike Young in the Australian television series Neighbours, and has won an Emmy Award and received nominations for Golden Globe AwardsScreen Actors Guild Awards, and Saturn Awards.

Now some of you may noticed that Guy Pearce was recently speculated to portray Riddler in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises film before that rumor was denied of Nolan choosing choosing Tom Hardy as Bane over his attempts of basing the film on normal people dealing with situations in the real world like terrorism and it may seem impossible since Pearce had recently played the role of a villain in Marvel's Iron Man 3, but who cares. Ben Affleck played Daredevil in a Marvel Comic based film in 2003 and he's already been confirmed to play Batman in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film in 2015 so why go through all that trouble denying him? Pearce would do be a "smart" choice for the role of the Riddler not just for looks but for all the films he has done so far where he acted smart, arrogant, intellegent, and desperate, he's just the guy we need for the Riddler in the DC Cinematic films to take on Ben Affleck as Batman.


Now for the Joker who is infamous for being Batman's greatest nemisis.The Joker is known best for his methods of deception and complete unpredictability that makes him a very great threat to Gotham. As relentless and crazy as he is, the Joker stops at nothing from achieving his goals at committing crimes at scales beyond 10 way beyond. Even if it means committing massacres, prison riots, corrupting the brightest people, and blowing up buildings to do it. When the Joker appears in the films, we can't expect him to go killing innocent people at a carnival like he did in the second part of the animated Dark Knight Returns movie. That would be too cruel and not so appropriate. We want him to be at war with the Penguin because gang wars between them and the Riddler would be sweet, even for the Joker himself. Now for the person some of us want for the Joker in the film, the actor best suited for the role of the clown prince of crime, who recently did roles in movies that involved serial killers, someone with a certain tone voice and sense of humor fit for the character is an old friend of Heath Ledger;

Wes Bentley





Wesley Cook "Wes" Bentley (born September 4, 1978)[1] is an American film actor known for his roles of Ricky Fitts in American Beauty (1999) and Seneca Crane in The Hunger Games (2012).

Bentley, other than being a friend to Heath Ledger has the right kind of talent for the Joker because he did roles in previous films that involved him as a sinister antagonist like Thomas from P2, Blackheart from Ghost Rider, and Seneca Crane from Hunger Games which fits him suitably in the DC Cinematic Universe as the Dark Knights greatest foe. Now some of you may notice that before Ben Affleck was given the part of Batman, Bentley was one of the actor that director Christopher Nolan wanted for Batman. Bentley may have the looks and the black colored hair style but the voice is not enough to qualify him for Batman in this highly potential superhero franchise so it's a good thing Affleck got the part otherwise the character wouldn't look so serious enough so why bother wanting Bentley for the Batman when he can play the role of the Joker.

And as for the clowns girlfriend Harley Quinn




After being absent and unaccounted for in the previous Batman films, she is now up for making her debate in the cinematic films and Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackhoff has been wanted to play either Wonder Woman or Harley Quinn and because she was rejected from playing Wonder Woman, Sackhoff will be up to play Harley Quinn instead and the role as the Joker's girlfriend should suit her well because both she and Quinn are blondes and as the crazy clown's girlfriend, she'll be second in command in the Joker's crew helping him lead his army into victory against the Penguin and the Riddler in attempts of taking over Gotham so he can continue bringing the city to its knees.


Now for the Penguin, he is one of Batman's oldest and most persistant enemies.The Penguin is a short, rotund man known for his love of birds and his specialized high-tech umbrellas. A mobster and thief, he fancies himself as being a "gentleman of crime;" his nightclub business provides a cover for criminal activity, which Batman sometimes uses as a source of criminal underworld information. According to Kane the character was inspired from the then advertising mascot of Kool cigarettes – a penguin with a top hat and cane. Finger thought the image of high-society gentlemen in tuxedos was reminiscent of emperor penguins.

Here in the DC Cinematic Universe, the Penguin would appear as an arms dealer and a crime lord competing against the Joker and the Riddler for control over Gotham and intends on winning so that he does not have any competition. Now for the Penguin to be depicted in the DC Cinematic Universe, finding the proper candidate suitable enough for the character won't be easy but then again after seeing some alternated changes of characters from the Man of Steel film, maybe Penguin doesn't need to be short or perhaps someone who previously denied the role of the character in the Dark Knight Rises movie would now have a change of heart and be more than happy to portray the character in the DC Cinematic films and there is only one actor we know that is fitting for the character and should now take this chance on playing the villain while time is still present

Philip Seymour Hoffman


Philip Seymour Hoffman would be the only actor fit for the role of the Penguin because he is short and the tone of his voice does sometimes sound squawky like the character so who else would be available for the role as Oswald Cobblepot other than him? And of course another villain maybe needed to help assist Penguin in the gang war against Joker and Riddler but who would it be?

Killer Croc

or 

Deadshot


Now if anyone has noticed that all three of these actors have been denied the roles of these villains in the past during the wait on Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Rises film, we'll now it is time for these speculations to be reignited once again for all time sake and by having all these villains Joker, Penguin, and Riddler saved up for the sequel to the first DC Cinematic Batman film, they should make the plot of the second film really interesting and it would give us a fun moment on choosing which one of these villains has what it takes to take down the Batman as well just like us right now choosing sides on Batman or Superman in the upcoming blockbuster film in 2015. In the meantime stay tuned




Killer Croc to be DC Cinematic Batman Movie 1 Villain

With the DC Cinematic Universe already started and with the second film confirmed as a Batman/Superman team up and battle, the first Batman stand alone film is expected to be next and set for 2017 or sometime before 2020. With Ben Affleck confirmed to play Batman, the one thing needed to be confirmed other than who would play many of the Dark Knight's supporting characters is who the villain will be in the character's first stand alone film in the DC Cinematic Universe.

So far the villains we have seen so far in the movies in real life are The Joker, The Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler, Two Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Bane, Ra's al Ghul, Scarecrow, and Talia al Ghul. Which means the villain that both Warner Bros. and the person yet to direct the film must choose has to be someone that has not yet been seen in the films and that best choice of a villain who has not appeared in the films is one of Batman's fierce foes:

Killer Croc





















Killer Croc is  a fictional character, a supervillain who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. He is an enemy of Batman. The character was created by writer Gerry Conway and by artists Gene Colan & Curt Swan. While there was a shadowy cameo in Detective Comics#523 (February 1983),[1] his first full appearance was in Batman #357 (March 1983), which was also the first appearance of Jason Todd.

His abilities are:




  • Superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability, and senses
  • Expert Swimmer
  • Expert Marksman
  • Hardened scale-like skin
  • Razor-sharp claws and teeth
  • Imunity to toxins
  • Regenerative healing factor
  • Experienced alligator wrestler



  • Croc would be the perfect choice for Warner Bros. to use in Ben Affleck's first stand alone Batman film because his character will already be Batman by the time he appears in the Man of Steel sequel along with Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and other unannounced cast members for the Justice League and going out with villains like Joker, Two Face, Bane, Ras' al Ghul, or any of the dark knight's other rogues who already appeared in the live action films would be too predictable. They gotta start with someone more exciting, more potential, and more new to the films and with what is said about Killer Croc in the comics on being a kingpin of crime and with the traits and abilities he possesses, he is the definately the Batman villain we need to start off in the Dark Knight's first DC Cinematic Stand Alone film and the best actor to play him has to be a strong man with an accent fitting to the character and from some of the popular films in the past who is often more recurring than primary is none other than


    Robert Maillet













    Robert Maillet  is a Canadian actor and retired professional wrestler. He is known for his time in the World Wrestling Federation from 1997 to 1999, where he performed under the ring name Kurrgan and was a member of The Truth Commission and The Oddities. He is also known for his roles in films such as 300 (2007),Sherlock Holmes (2009), and Pacific Rim (2013)

    Robert Maillet is the best actor fit for the role of Batman's reptilian/human hybrid foe not because he appeared in Zac Snyder's 300 movie but because he is big, tall, strong, and his voice is deep enough to fit the character's in the movie and since he was a professional wrestler, he as Killer Croc would make an excellent brawler fighting against Ben Affleck's Batman in the film and capable of catching the scent of certain people, he could also pose as a great threat to both Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne. 

    Some of you may think it wouldn't be Croc, but because the film is gonna be in the DC Cinematic Universe, that with Batman teaming up Superman and other members in the Justice League, and for how much sci-fi occured in the Man of Steel film, you really think Snyder and or whoever is going to take charge of directing the Batman films are just gonna keep making the villains be just plain human like in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy?

    Certainly not. Because of the specific kinds of heroes that will be present in the DC Cinematic franchise, it's pointless for the films to be completely normalized like Nolan's Batman movies and even if they tried Nolan's ideals again, where's the fun in that?

    Even if Croc was born with a form of atavism that imparted him with reptilian traits, he can still work in the film and he does not have to be that bloody violent as he is in the comics and I'm sure that he'll make an excellent foe for Batman in the films. We just need to convince the people in charge to give the villain a chance.

    To find out if Warner Bros. and DC Cinematic film producer will confirm Killer Croc as the villain in Batman movie 1, keep your eyes open for any update, rumors, and speculations that come up in the mean time.
