Affleck looks like he can play a solid Bruce Wayne
A foppish playboy that gets by on looks and inherited wealth and prestige? Yeah, I bet he could pull that off.

Jesse whatever playing Lex Luthor is not doing it for me. It's jarringly bad in the trailer.
Lex Luthor is a cold calculating businessman who actually becomes president at one point. He's not even technically evil, he's just protecting the Earth from what he sees as an alien menace who could wipe out humanity. He's a LOT like Batman. Unlike Batman, he has no rules about what means can be used to get to the result he desires.
Jesse Eisenburg's portrayal is nothing like that. He's playing him like a strung out sex offender.

I assume whoever cast him didn't see the piece of shit called American Ultra.

Early review hits the web.
It's glowingly positive, and as the article points out, doesn't say one negative thing. That's a red flag. The other red flag is that they specifically mention Jesse Eisenberg's performance and Ben Affleck's. Red flags because those are the two most controversial castings in the film.
The movie may be awesome, and I hope it is, but this review reminds me of the glowingly positive review that was leaked about Fantastic Four...

I hope Superman rips Affleck's head off in the first five minutes and pisses in his eyes.

What if the Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice film was made in 1966 starring Adam West and George Reeves
Batman and Superman would spend 90 minutes at the bar, then get in a drunken fistfight for the next 10. Credits roll.

It's becoming increasingly concerning to me that the studio keeps having insiders and people who worked on the film come out and praise it.
Meanwhile, the general public keeps watching the trailers and saying "Ok, Affleck isn't as bad as we thought he'd be, but what the fuck is Eisenberg doing to Luthor?"

EDIT: Trailer for Superman v. Batman makes that movie look more and more like ass. The Lex Luthor performance could make Affleck's acting merely the second worst aspect of the film. Currently in terms of quality, it looks somewhere between the second and third Keaton entries.
Yeah.

I'll give you 50%. I'm still not buying Ben. Just go Karl Urban.

Actually each trailer make it look more promising than the one before. I think the Lex has potential and Affleck seems like he might not be a disaster after all. Not sure about whoever that is playing Supes, though, he seems kind of lame.

Are you shitting me? Maybe the potential to be a whiny bitch.

Would that be Superman: Where Did My Balls Go?

I thought it was perfect, and I liked the actor playing the role.

Feel free to revisit the thread where I point out how retarded it got. Yeah, every superhero needs a father that's a big enough dumbshit to stand in the path of a tornado for no sound reason, and said superhero also must be a big enough pussy not to do anything about it.

I liked it. Not up to the level of Nolan's Dark Knight series, but I wasn't disappointed.

The Supes movie of... a decade ago? had a few really cool moments, but overall I didn't like the movie. The most recent movie, I thought it did a very good job even if there weren't as many cool moments as the Brandon Routh (?) movie.

Part of the problem with the Brandon Routh movie (in my opinion) was that he did such a spot on job of Christopher Reeve as Superman that it was on the verge of creepy. I told my movie date afterwards that he played a better "Christopher Reeve as Superman" than Christopher Reeve did.
