The Overview:
What I think of the recent casting choices is I want to be surprise! People are comparing the casting as a "Heath Ledger Joker" but this movie is having a whole lot of Heath Ledger like actors to play many iconic DC characters. Many DC fans are outraged many are optimistic many are like uh??? Long time ago before Ben Affleck was cast every fan thought Josh Brolin or Karl Urban would be cast as Batman. Soon the odds were out and Ben was the true Batman. Many fans were upset because they could never view past Ben's Daredevil shadow not caring that Ben have recently star leading roles in movies in the Town and Argo. And have showed his directing skills for directing the best picture Argo. Soon Gal Gadot was announced as Wonder Woman and many fan criticism burst on Twitter and many blog and social networking sites. Fans of the character are skeptical if she has the acting chops and strong tone as Wonder Woman. We are are yet to proven wrong what we see of Gal being Wonder Woman until what I see and what the rest audience see on the big screen. Days ago it was announced that Jesse Eisenberg the star that is known for the Social Network, Zombieland and Now You See Me is now the new Lex Luthor. Instead of a older actor such as a Bryan Cranston or Mark Strong to play the infamous . Lastly critical acclaim actor Jeremy Irons is up to play Alfred Pennyworth who fans are hoping for to be more of a Batman Earth One Alfred compare to the quite and well mannered Pennyworth we see in older comics, movies and animated television series.
Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor: My thoughts:
Jesse Eisenberg playing Lex Luthor I think will give a whole new young outlook of Lex. Many people think he would play a younger Lex in the first early half of the movie as a flashback then it would introduce a older Lex in the rest of the film. If not than I would like to see Jesse to play more of a creepy and yet and genius like sob as Lex Luthor persona. Many people argue that Bryan Cranston who played the famous anti villain Walter White in Breaking Bad should be Lex Luthor. The reasons that I am glade they didn't choosing Bryan Cranston or a Mark Strong for the role is I would like to see a surprising and younger actor to play Lex Luthor. If Bryan Cranston did play Lex I would be worried that people will only see "Walter White" or "Heisenberg" vs Superman and Batman than "Lex Luthor." I want the character Lex to have is own identity instead of seeing Walter White on the big screen.
Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman My thoughts:
As Ben Affleck has Batman I think he has became a mature and experience enough actor to recover from his Daredevil. Also I think even his performance in Daredevil was also good. It just the movie had a bad script and direction overall. Ben Affleck has proven to us that he can show us amazing performances and even can prove to us that he can also shine through such dull films like Runner Runner.
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman My thoughts:
Gal Gadot has shown her recent performances in the recent Fast movies in smaller roles in other movies. Gal Gadot is shown to be skinny due to her modeling career but now she can prove to the audience that she can play a iconic bad ass super heroin in the upcoming Superman/Batman and a standalone Wonder Woman movie. Now what I think of this casting choice is I don't really mind it. If they can train Gal to her highest capability that I see no wrong. Many fans and people general think Wonder Woman should look like a female body builder or some sort which she isn't at all. Many people don't really know or how Wonder Woman should like or how she should be perceive. Many people want Wonder Woman to be either a hot sex symbol or a iconic female role model.When Wonder Woman is finally reveal on the big screen then that will be the day what people will view and think about Wonder Woman in the cinematic side. As a DC fan I'm rooting for Gal Gadot all the day way and hope she can prove all the naysayers wrong.
Nothing to say here that I am really stoke for this announcement. Jeremy Irons proved to us that he is amazing senior actor who won a Academy Award for best actor andfamous for his voice acting as the Lion King villain Scar. I hope to God Jeremy Irons will portray the military background Alfred of what is shown in Batman Earth One and Beware the Batman. The Earth One Alfred will give a difference for the Alfred character instead what we usually see in the same regular interpretations of Alfred as him being a meek quiet old butler. I like to see some bad ass flavor for Alfred in this next installment.
