That's... really interesting, actually. I'm sure the immediate reaction from damn near everyone will be that this casting is total shit, but obviously they're trying to do something a little different with it, and I kind of like that.
I imagine Eisenberg will be more of an angry rich kid-type, probably inheriting his billions (or trillions or whatever) from his dad... a contrast to the original Lex, but it could be a lot of fun. I like Jesse Eisenberg.
Jeremy Irons as Alfred is a little odd to me though, mostly just because I've never considered him all that interesting an actor. He's a good actor, he's just not particularly exciting. So... I guess we'll see how that goes.
