Woe, Jason Isaacs has voiced Lex Luthor! I had no idea. That’s interesting as he was my first choice to play Lex Luthor in the films. Imagine him as Lex opposite Cavill’s Superman, in a different film I suppose. That could have been so good. He has the face and eyes for Lex. He totally looks the part when he’s bald. He is masculine, physically imposing, intimidating and could definitely have pulled off a highly intelligent, conspiring criminal genius.
We got Jesse Eisenberg. In a wig.
Think about that.
Wig???? They actually cut his hair off when he went to jail!!
he was talking about the long hair
It is amazing and baffling to me that they would put this much effort into a off the wall story line line this, good as it may be and can’t do the same giving us a “real” Superman adventure.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Superman/Batman: Apocalypse Superman vs The Elite Justice League: Doom Superman: Unbound Justice League: Flashpoint Justice League: War Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Justice League vs Teen Titans Death of Reign of and the upcoming Man of Tomorrow are all straight adaptations of the main universe Superman/League stories. You could also probably add Superman: Doomsday to that list too, Maybe JL vs Fatal Five as well, I don’t know I haven’t watched it yet. As opposed to just 4 alternate universe stories involving Superman. I think we have gotten plenty of real… Read more »
Superman Unbound was the last feature that was strictly a Superman adventure.(thought it was very good) Every time he’s placed in combo stories they always have him as a second fiddle. Unbound is a few years old and it would have been nice to get something new after all the turmoil that’s taken place. Done well or not, this communist version is to off the wall for me.
While Fatal Five was OK, don’t expect Superman’s role in it to be that major. And I’ve had it with the death angle as well.
If you’re not big on New 52 that takes a chunk from the list. I tried watching War and most of the Justice League including Superman all sounded like 14 year olds trying too hard to be “badass” to me.
That’s WB in a nutshell. Trying to be so edgy where it really isn’t necessary or wanted.
