I'll laugh if they don't get Cranston and instead some 2nd rate actor as there will be a backlash for even that now.

I can see the ads now: "And Academy Award winner Alan Arkin as Lex Luthor."

Rolling Stone joins the party.

Rolling Stone just linked to Comic Book News, nothing new.

 

[Omegasquash]

I'm OK with that possibility. Hell, let Cranston do lots more things. Dude has time on his hands now.

Only with the help of Mineral Man can Superman save the world from Lex Luthor and his 99.1% pure green metholamene kryptonite.

He's probably reading all these articles asking "Me?"

 

[Penguin]

I like how one of those sites says "It's official", which then links to another site that says it is a rumor. And all keep pointing back to Cosmic Book News.

Just wondering when other sources will chime in that do not reference the Cosmic Book News article.

It's a terrible case of internet telephone

It was speculation on one site
Another reported it as a rumor
And now it is fact.

lol, christ, I can't believe Rolling Stone is picking up Cosmic Book News.

We need a statement already.

 

[Wilbur]

I think it's really uninspired casting. As a lot of people have said I'd rather see him as Gordon.

He's a superb actor, but the film's going to suck dick and Lex will be poorly written.

 

[Cloudy]

Awesome casting decision. Reels in the BB fans nicely

 

[Wag]

Blue meth?

 

[DieH@rd]

Possibly old...

I must be the only person who wants someone besides Cranston.

The kryptonite/blue meth comparisons are going to be off the hook!

 

[Brera]

Cranston is such an awesome actor.

He has the looks, talent and voice/charisma to be a star. It's a shame he didn't take off until breaking bad. He was the best thing in Malcolm in the middle!

 

[Shaanyboi]

I have no doubt he's in the running at WB, but I can't believe how far this bullshit baseless story has come...

 

[Screaming Meat]

Superb actor. Perfect casting.

I can see the ads now: "And Academy Award winner Alan Arkin as Lex Luthor."

Alan Arkin... "2nd rate?" Since when?!

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Blue Kryptonite is the Bizarro analogue to green Kryptonite. Using Bizarro logic, this, in general, hurts Bizarros while having beneficial effects on ordinary Kryptonians.

You have to wonder if WB knows it's not him but enjoys the buzz, or if they have him and enjoy the mystery.

It's reaching a point where Cranston not getting it would be an issue, though.

it wouldn't be a major issue if denzel washington gets it instead though. out of the people mentioned in rumour i like that choice even more than cranston.

but it would raise a whole new issue of skin colour though.

Our little rumor's has grown so much ^-^

We had a black Kingpin. And MCD was one of the best things about DD.

Unlike certain superheros a black Lex would not be a problem imo.

 

[monome]

IMO, Cranston deserves better than having to shave his head again and play the anti-hero/ layered bad guy again and again.

and he might be too old too.

but, then again, MoS universe ain't very great in the first place, and although I like the idea of a Batman vs Superman movie, I wouldn't mind for it to be the end of that universe.

so why not offer Cranston a big paycheck, a good time and a chance to do a cinematic Heisenberg.

 

[Vagabundo]

Might actually watch this movie if that is the case.

 

[ZROCOOL]

Hell yes! For science

 

[SneakySneaks]

Really hope he get's the role, but this is really reminding me of the second episode of House of Cards. Let the rumor create a massive fan outpouring of support and be forced to cast him.

 

[T.O.P]

Might actually watch this movie if that is the case.

[Ludicrous Speed]

Never saw MOS and have no desire to. But if this rumor turns out to be true it may just be enough to get me into the theater to see the sequel. Even with Affleck as Batman
