There is an old retail saying that "The customer is always right".
I'm not sure if WB/DC is just trying to be 'hip' or keep us guessing...but for once in the entire scope of speculation and hype....you'd think they'd go with a fan favorite like Cranston.
I'm still looking forward to whatever they produce, but I have to say I've been consistently astonished by their choices for the various roles.
I agree that Marvel seems to be better at choosing the right cast members to play their characters (excluding the movies not produced by them directly, produced by Sony). We can only hope we're pleasantly surprised when the movie comes out.
i do think Cranston would be great but i think fan wanted him because of breaking bad if he never did breaking bad would fans go crazy wanted him to play Lex.
and yes the choice of actors is surprising everybody and makes you would what is going to be the next surprise they have of choice.
If I had to guess, I'd say they were looking for an actor to play Lex who's roughly the same age as Henry Cavill. Brian Cranston is 26 years older.
true it would give them more time and movies together.
