If THIS was the script that we'd be GUARANTEED to get as a result of yet another origin retread? Then yes, I'd say Fund It. But you KNOW it WON'T be.
Also, Jesus Christ, Terry Quinn as Lex Luthor. From The Stepfather forward, it's the role he's been preparing for all his life.
I disagree about Bryan Cranston, though, who's turning into an excellent supervillain on Breaking Bad, just not in the Luthor mold. In a very real sense, he's playing a Peter Parker who was never bitten, suddenly turning to supervillainy out of desperation in middle age. What's awesome about Walter White is that he never quite loses that school teacher didacticness - the scene where he spots the meth-head buying cooking ingredients at the supermarket, and then proceeds to give him a disappointedly paternalistic LESSON on how he should be going about it instead, is fucking GOLD.
