That and I'm not entirely enthralled by the idea of Colin Farrell in deep make-up instead of casting someone of similar physique of the final result. I really hate that recent trend of the past decade...even if I did enjoy Lithgow's Churchill.

Farrell is just following DeVito's lead. ;)

The two are completely different. DeVito was a deliberate grotesque make-up design to make Penguin look "sub-human," which was a direct and character plot point.

Farrell was given such extreme make-up just to look like a completely different but normal-looking person that could've easily been another actor.
 
The sad thing to me about Tim Burton's "monstrous" reinvention of the Penguin is that Danny DeVito would've been perfect for a more comics-authentic version of the Penguin, a small and comical figure whose innocuous facade masks a ruthless criminal mastermind. He wouldn't have needed any more makeup than a prosthetic nose extension like Burgess Meredith had.

These days, when I try to think of someone who'd be good as the Penguin, my thoughts tend toward Patton Oswalt, Matt Lucas, or maybe Toby Jones.
 
Affleck's Batman always plays / looks great.

Keaton--as an retirement age Batman--will be somewhat interesting, if he's presented as a Batman who has a desire to meet the challenge, but is struggling to do so (e.g. Batman from the Kingdom Come TPB).
 
James Gunn has confirmed that Jimmy Olsen will be in Superman: Legacy:

Once upon a time, this would have been a given, but after Snyder's use of him only for a bloodthirsty "joke," and his complete absence from Superman & Lois, James Bartholomew hasn't gotten a lot of live-action love in recent years (though I did enjoy Mehcad Brooks's take on Supergirl). Looking forward to seeing what Gunn does with him.
