The actors

Whenever a comic book movie character is cast, you can hear the fans cringing. It has happened with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, with Ben Affleck as Batman, with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Will Smith as Deadshot, Jared Leto as the Joker, and the list continues.

And there are hits and misses, just like with any other endeavor. But it doesn’t matter if Ben Affleck is hailed as the best Batman/Bruce Wayne ever, or Jared Leto as the worst Joker. They are here to stay, and they will appear in quite a few other movies from here on.

It isn’t as if Warner Bros. will retire the Joker (or recast him) just because the fans didn’t enjoy Leto’s performance. And Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor will return. Just like all the other actors.

Which is a great thing. I do hope that until a Flashpoint erases the timeline, all of these actors will remain. I am certain that, in the end, all of them will be counted among the best.
