The Latest News
Jesse Eisenberg has been chatting about the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice script and his role as Lex Luthor. It all sounds really positive, particularly his praise of Chris Terrio's writing.
"it’s a really great character that’s written by this guy, Chris Terrio, he’s a phenomenal writer...he loves my character in the same way I love my character. He put a lot of work into it. It’s a great character, there’s an emotional core to the character. It’s not this silly, villainous character. This is a real depiction of a person who thinks these things. So the challenge is to make it seem real."
Perhaps most importantly, he confirms that there will be a Batman v Superman panel at SDCC this year. A substantial one, from the sound of it. While we expect this will mostly be focused on this movie, don't be surprised if Zack Snyder and friends introduce fans to the Justice League on stage for the first time. Maybe they'll even get to speak this time.
