So Joaquin Phoenix as Lex Luthor, Jason Mamoa as Ares, and Callan Mulvey as a Bat villain? Would they give us a villain for each member of the Trinity?
Lex Luthor
Character » Lex Luthor appears in 4366 issues.
Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis, is one of the most brilliant men alive, whose hatred of "interfering aliens" pushes him down the path of a sociopath. Known for his "ends justifies the means" approach to life, his single-minded and often brutal focus puts him at odds with The Man of Steel. Luthor is arguably DC Comics' most iconic villain.
Joaquin Phoenix Could Be Lex Luthor in 'Batman vs. Superman'
@lyrafay: you should make a thread
@jonny_anonymous: I did its on the DC comics forums.

Jason Mamoa as Ares would be cool!
I like Joaquin Pheonix and would have absolutely no problem with him being Lex...although I still do prefer Bryan Cranston.
That dude is bat $#!% insane..... Does anyone remember him giving up acting to become a raper? He is nuts! Not saying he would be a bad Lex, just saying that man is bananas......
Considering his non-mainstream choices for the last ten years, committing to play Lex would be a big deal. Plus he would probably have to commit to multiple movies. In 2010 there were news stories that Marvel offered Phoenix the role of Hulk (for Avengers) and he supposedly turned it down so I'm not going to get too excited about this news until it's confirmed.
@judasnixon: Tha was just part of the mockumentary he co-wrote eith Casey Affleck "I'm Still Here".
JOAQUIM PHOENIX IS THE JOKER...If there is one thing Joaquim Phoenix can do without breaking a sweat its being bizarre. Just take a look at all of his films aside from his Johnny Cash bio. For Lex Luthor, need someone who can play a calculating villain and looks suave while destroying the world. Some people were suggesting that Samuel L. Jackson could play Lex Luthor and I can kinda see that but I stick to my original pick and that is...BILLY ZANE AS LEX LUTHOR Billy Zane as Lex Luthor would not only revamp his career but he could play the iconic rogue to the letter.

That wasn't real. He did all of that for a documentary, that was fake and mostly scripted.

yes i want joaquin as joker too... listen to your friend billy zane, he's a cool guy
I can totally see this. Cranston would have been interesting, and he's good, but it would be hard at first to not think of Heisenberg when looking at him. I can see Phoenix as Lex without thinking of Johnny Cash.
I can actually see him as Lex.
Totally.
I was just going to say that.
Hmmm,I still prefer the possibility of seeing Rosenbaum as lex again,him going full on lex Luther would be cool,I know he was'lex in smallville,but I want to see him also be the industrial megalomaniacal,villain out to show the world that Superman is a danger to earth. Also,Cranston for Jim Gordon...... please(he voiced him in the year one animated feature for Pete's sake....that was awesome)
That could be really cool.
or a disaster.
I'll stay optimistic though.
So who is this guy? Is he a good choice to play Lex? Haven't seen any of his films to competently judge myself.
You should check out Gladiator. He was an awesome villain.
I'm trying to control my first knee jerk reaction since it'd make me a hypocrite for telling people to shut up about the Affleck thing so I'll just say I'm skeptical but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Damn I keep meaning to watch Gladiator so now I have nearly a month off, I might just do that.

DO IT!
@wolverine08: Will do then.
It's workable, honestly the script worries me more than the casting though.
Well the writer of Argo is redoing the script for the film
