With only one short year left until Warner Bros.’ highly anticipated film Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice premieres and ignites the shared DC cinematic universe, the studio has been slowly revealing information about the film, from images to an official synopsis.

Perhaps Eisenberg will give viewers a good balance of the character as both. What do you think? Would you like to see the actor pull it off? Let us know in the comments below!
