Lex Youthor...

In what to my mind is a head-scratching decision, Warner Brothers has cast Social Network star Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in their upcoming (delayed until 2016) Batman/Superman film. Says director Zack Snyder, "Having Jesse in the role allows us to...take the character in some new and unexpected directions.

Ya got that right, Zack. Kind of like casting Taylor Lautner as Daddy Warbucks.

Warners also announced that Jeremy Irons will be coming on board as Alfred, trusted Wayne family butler and Batman supporter.

Hey, at least the 2016 release delay will allow Jesse some more time to...season.

Go back to your lives, Citizens...
