Maybe I'm wrong but I just can't see it... In fact Eisenberg's acting annoys the hell out of me. Reminds me of a pubescent quirky teen not a villain like Lex Luthor.

I think he will play the role well for the vision they have in mind (probably a more modern day young super genius Billionaire. And maybe just slightly nerdy).
snyder and co. are trying to bring superman in with the times.. i think, with the release pushed back, we're gonna have a hell of a movie.. world's finest, possibly the trinity, sharing one universe for the first time? i'll be lining up for this one, not only once.. call me a fanatic, call me an optimist or call me a fool.. i am excited..
I don't doubt he could play a younger, more youthful Luthor. But...come on, he'll never be as menacing or commanding as either Clancy Brown or Kevin Spacey.

I'm going to wait and see. Is this a casting that I saw coming and agree with? No. But it might also be good. I'm going to wait until the movie comes out before I start flipping tables. As of right now I'm cautiously optimistic about it.
