Earlier this week IGN caught up with Jesse Eisenberg, who was promoting his new film "The Double," and spoke with the actor about his role as Lex Luthor in the upcoming comic book epic Batman Vs. Superman.
Some will certainly complain about the implausibility of the climactic twist, but this film is so highly stylized that it is not likely that anyone could mistake it for realism. Instead the film digs a bit deeper from a psychological standpoint. Speaking in Freudian terms, "The Double" externalizes the subconscious battle between id and superego in attempts at realizing a fully mature ego.
Since the announcement at last year's Comic-Con San Diego that Superman would be joined by Batman in the follow up film to 2013's Man of Steel, other than the slew of casting announcements in the last few months, very little information is known about the film's plot.
The Man of Steel sequel, nicknamed Batman vs. Superman, made a lot of comic book fans scratch their heads when it cast Jesse Eisenberg as big, bad Lex Luthor. Fellow actors Michael Rosenbaum and Kevin Spacey, on the other hand, are on board.
The upcoming Man of Steel sequel has made some bold casting choices. According to rumors, the studio is now considering its first black superhero. Meanwhile, another interesting cast move is rumored to be the reason that the highly-anticipated film is not being released until 2016.
The untitled Man of Steel sequel, commonly known as Batman vs. Superman caused quite a stir when it cast Jesse Eisenberg as evil mastermind Lex Luthor. Was there a method behind Warner Bros. madness? Plus, has the real title of the movie been revealed? (Hint: it's not Batman vs. Superman.)
