Grain of salt of course

 

[Fury451]

What a shame

But probably not true

 

[adamsapple]

Good.

He was easily the worst part of BvS.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Was looking forward to seeing more piss jars

 

[jackdoe]

With Batman-News it's less a grain of salt and more of a salt clump the size of my fist.

 

[snap]

was hard to see how they were going to fit him in anyways

 

[PantherLotus]

One more reminder about just how lucky Marvel has been with casting.

 

[Slayven]

YOU CANNOT UNRANG THE BELL THAT BEEN RANGED!!!

 

[Escape Goat]

Recast and reshot with Shia labouf.

 

[Dalek]

With Batman-News it's less a grain of salt and more of a salt clump the size of my fist.

Well said.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Let's hope he's also been cut from the DCEU. Time for papa Luthor to redeem his name.

 

[Chase17]

Who will feed everyone Jolly Ranchers?

[Lagamorph]

Just recast Clancy Brown in the role already.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Good.

Jessie was Superman?

 

[Slayven]

One more reminder about just how lucky Marvel has been with casting.

First why you changed your avatar, and second Marvel is good, they passed lucky years ago

 

[chrisPjelly]

I hope they retcon him to be Lex Luthor Jr.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

Good.

He was easily the worst part of BvS.

.

 

[Platy]

We can only hope

 

[Pai Pai Master]

I hope they retcon him to be Lex Luthor Jr.

isn't this already the case?

 

[WarLox]

Who will feed everyone Jolly Ranchers?

I came to say this.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Good.

He was easily the worst part of BvS.

This is art. It has merit.

 

[ryan299]

This was part of a 4chan rumor last week. Maybe thats BOF's source. lol

 

[Bronx-Man]

No one ever really stops to points how fucking awful the DCEU's villains are.

Ego > Piss Jar
Vulture > Hunka Hunka

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This is art. It has merit.

How people wrote, directed, and acted out this scene without raising a word of concern is beyond me.

 

[dl77]

 

[shira]

 

[SpaceWolf]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

EDIT: I meant on film, people! Not TV.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

CapeKino

 

[Betty]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

We'll always have the animated version.

 

[adamsapple]

This is art. It has merit.

 

[Mechanized]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

Not in movies but the Smallville Lex was fantastic, and his father was amazing.

 

[Bronx-Man]

This is art. It has merit.

Zack Snyder just keeps finding new ways to raise the bar in cinema. A true auteur.

 

[Chamber]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

What are you talking about? Michael Rosenbaum was a beast.

 

[kylecoley182]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

Smallville ?

 

[JayCB]

Would be a shame if this wasn't true.

 

[broncobuster]

With Batman-News it's less a grain of salt and more of a salt clump the size of my fist.

Batman-News sourcing Batman-on-Film is a vortex of bullshit.

 

[RDreamer]

Sucks if true. He was one of the better comic book movie villains. Loved him in BvS.

 

[kewlmyc]

This is art. It has merit.

It still amazes me this is a scene in a "serious" superhero movie.

Maybe if the Joker was doing, maybe. But Lex Luthor?

 

[ClivePwned]

Thank Christ!

BVS was not great, but Jesse's take on Lex (and how it was written) was abominable.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

They should replace him with Jason Statham and just not say anything. Just play it off like he bulked up in prison

 

[HStallion]

I'd be fine with this. He was one of the weakest parts of that film.

 

[Sub_Level]

The most annoying character in a comic book movie.

 

[SpaceWolf]

We'll always have the animated version.

Very true.

Not in movies but the Smallville Lex was fantastic, and his father was amazing.

Also true. Seeing Michael Rosenbaum managing to do good work with some of those godawful scripts could often really be a wonder.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

We've never had a good Lex Luthor on screen.

?

 

[Nokagi]

Good. He was awful.

 

[Pandora012]

I hope they retcon him to be Lex Luthor Jr.

Thought he was already Jr.

 

[Lulubop]

batman news

 

[Keym]

Replace him with the superior Michael Cera.

 

[Penguin]

So the rumor is we didn't know what role he had originally in the movie

But he's cut

Like I get that he's in the character sheet but could literally be a recap of him talking to Steppenwolf from BvS, we'll see
