Biggest Miscast of DCEU?

[KabutoRyder]

Ezra f'n Miller and his stupid bug eyed facial expression.

The biggest mistake for me wasn't a casting mistake.
They rushed the storylines to keep up with Marvel instead of taking their time to establish a cohesive universe. In fact a little like FOX did with their X-Men universe.
For me that's the original sin, indepedently from the qualities of each movie.

True but some of the cast are still bad.

[Punisher007]

Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.

Cara Delevingne as The Enchantress.

[XPac]

I think the problem with the Enchantress was less the casting and more how horribly written the character was. I don't think any actress could have done anything with that mess.

[Punisher007]

Fair enough.

[stargazer01]

Enchantress for sure. Girl can't act and was poorly directed.

Lex is understandably controversial because he didn't look or acted much like Lex. However, I liked Jesse's acting for the most part, except when they had him acting all nervous and neurotic (like 3 scenes). But he was charismatic and very cunning to me. He was the first Lex that seemed really dangerous to Superman. His portrayal in the deleted JL scene was much better. So my conclusion is, I liked Jesse in the role, but his hair and some of the portrayal was annoying.

I think I loved/liked the rest of the DCEU cast.

Lex and Barry IMO.

why some don't like Ezra as Flash? Because his personality in real life?

I found him really charming, but he needs to learn to run better...

For me he didn't feel like Barry Allen at all and I really didn't care for a Flash that came off so young.

You mas as well have just called him Kid Flash.

In fact I hadn't well read the title, I had confused miscast and mistake!
For me, the worst miscast is Will Smith in Suicide Squad, not because of him specifically, but in how his involvment changed the nature and focus of the movie.
I did like Ezra Miller in Justice League, not a typical Barry Allen, but fun character. He's not at all the worst thing in the DCEU;

I'm kinda torn on him. I found him entertaining, but it didn't feel like Barry Allen.

Then again you can argue MCU Starlord didn't feel like Starlord (until the comics starting writing him that way too).

[Flash Gordon]

Lex Luthor!!!!

Most of that can be blamed on **** writing though.

Naw it's all on screen. Hes funny in parts of JL but he dosnt feel like Barry in anyway. Seems to be somewhere on the spectrum which would have been fine if I felt it was they're intention. His costume was awful imo and as you said he needed to learn to run better.

Harder to get away with it with a more recognizable character like Flash in my opinion, and at least with Star-Lord the revamp was a little more...upfront?

Eisenberg as Lex Luthor.

I could see what he was going for but it didn't work at all.

Jared Leto as the Joker turned out pretty ridiculous because Leto decided to ham it up very badly.
