Well, bye.

 

[elrechazado]

Eisenberg's Luthor feeding an uncomfortable government official a jellybean because eccentric.

You are SO SO Wrong!!! It's a jolly rancher not a jelly Bean.

 

[BitStyle]

Good.

He was easily the worst part of BvS.

This

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Good.

[djplaeskool]

I hope they cut Martha too.

SAAAVE
MARRRTHAAAAAAAA

 

[Omegasquash]

Lex was in BvS?

Shit I thought it was a poor attempt at the Joker origin story that ended with him being more the Riddler from the 90's Batman movie.

Worst part of the movie, IMO. Not at ALL Lex Luthor.

Edit: And gimme this, just like the earlier post:

 

[JCHandsom]

And nothing of value was lost

 

[Ushay]

Hope its true, he was fucking awful in BvS

 

[Lokimaru]

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

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

Yes because Lex Luthor having a Politician eating out of the palm of his hand is just too on the nose I guess.

 

[Ashhong]

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

Not only that, the source is from Batman on Film, which makes it even worse lol. But of course most will believe it to be true

 

[hydruxo]

Good. He was absolutely terrible in BvS.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

couldn't have happened to anyone nicer

Yeah Eisenburg Lex was no Lex at all sure ok. Superman existed before Bruce Tim you know.

 

[Praetorpwj]

Rather liked John Shea's Luthor from Lois and Clark

 

[Prince of Space]

I still don't understand why he killed his assistant

This always bugged me too; more than piss jar and jolly ranchers. IIRC, even she was looking around for Lex just before the bomb goes off. What an asshole.

 

[KillLaCam]

I hope. I really didn't like him

 

[pretty done]

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

Ego > Piss Jar
Vulture > Hunka Hunka

I doubt anyone ever stops to think about the DCEU. It's fucking garbage.

 

[soundscream]

I bet his role was tied to the Doomsday plot, so if they really cut Doomsday out his scenes no longer make sense for the film.

 

[Lokimaru]

So...Lex Luthor. You can't blame a snake for being a snake.

 

[Omegasquash]

You keep your opinions to yourself, Jesse.

 

[a916]

I've never heard of this Batman on Film source...

Also, Gene Hackman and his eccentric Luthor take is awful and I absolutely hate it.

Vulture > Hunka Hunka

Have you been living under a rock or something?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

BvS is the worst part of BvS.

 

[Jumeira]

Lex as a scrawny, whiney, self obsessed pussy never for one moment felt right, with his fragile ego monopolising all his scenes I honestly couldn't bare him, he was the worst part of the movie and didn't feel like a threat that can't be swatted with ease.

 

[Fergie]

Good.

Neurotic, whiny and weird Lex wasn't for me.

 

[quackamole]

If true, good. It's a shitty interpretation of Lex Luthor.

 

[Prince of Space]

So...Lex Luthor. You can't blame a snake for being a snake.

Luthor never really struck me as the type to let trusted associates be reduced to collateral damage; good help being hard to find these days, and all.

I'll just leave this here

You don't read comics do you.

 

[Alienous]

Ring ding ding the fuck out of here.

Joss Whedon isn't putting up with shit.

 

[DonShula]

I'm of the age that Gene Hackman is default Lex in my mind.

I thought Eisenberg was pure trash. Someone should have put a stop to that very early on in BvS.

 

[a916]

I'm of the mind they should just ignore it, or retcon it in the quickest way possible and let Jesse do his Social Network performance. To me that's what I expected.

 

[Sephzilla]

You need a Lex Luthor, I got a Lex Luthor for you

Get Rock away from that Black Adam crap

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

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

Say what you will about the movie overall, but Kevin Spacey as Luthor was a pretty damn good casting in my opinion

 

[jon bones]

Whedon single handely salvaging the Justice League

 

[Omegasquash]

Whedon single handely salvaging the Justice League

Well, the rumor is probably about as valid as a pile of shit smells like dandelions.

And fuck Whedon. But I'm still salty about AoU, so take that with...a grain of salt.

I hated it, he was doing a Hackman impression (which makes sense since it was supposed to be a sequel). I'm not sure why we haven't seen one in the vein of Smallville/DCAU/ DC Animated Originals yet.

 

[Prince of Space]

You don't read comics do you.

lol what

I have, but maybe not enough to form a complete psychological profile of Lex Luthor.

He basically took Hackman's version of the character and steered it a little more towards the modern version of Luthor. Spacey's Luthor definitely had a darker streak to him compared to Hackman who was basically playing a Saturday morning cartoon character.

But yeah, I'm not sure why they haven't done a live action Luthor who's more like the DCAU version.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

The stench of Snyder is being swept away...

 

[Tall4Life]

Do we have any other sources besides fucking Batman-News? lmao

 

[Lokimaru]

Well he's a Petty Egotistical Sociopath with Daddy issues. Hackman Lex was this, Smallville Lex was this and Eisenburg Lex was this. I believe that people are taking their dislike of the Actor out on the Character when the Actor played Lex Perfectly. That is Who Lex Luthor is Not the Suave Business Man but the Petty Jealous Asshole who has to have it his way or No-way. Lex would rather destroy the World then have Superman be apart of it because that's how he rolls. That's why he's Superman's Arch-nemesis.

 

[Wingfan19]

Quoting myself because I'm right.

Stop. Posting. Rumors from those sites. Jesus christ. Batman-news.com got it from a Twitter Q and A from Batmon-on-Film.com which it turn probably got it from the Reddit "info" dump from a few days ago. When will you guys learn to stop doing this!?!?

 

[ElMexiMerican]

Recast and reshot with Shia labouf.

I fuck with it.

 

[erlim]

Was looking forward to seeing more piss jars

Grandma's sweet tea.

Ok so why kill his assistant? That was just stupid and impractical.

Never thought of him for Lex..but damn he'd be perfect.

 

[Shadybiz]

I wouldn't shed a tear if true.

 

[Inferno313]

Yeah Eisenburg Lex was no Lex at all sure ok. Superman existed before Bruce Tim you know.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I do think the rooftop scene is actually pretty solid and the one moment where the Luthor performance I wanted from Eisenberg shines through.

I didn't mind that scene, actually. It kind of felt like the only time he starts acting like Luthor

Literally the only person who could tie him to Wallace Keefe (she drove him to wait at Keefe's apartment).

So, what was the reason he killed Mercy?

 

[SargerusBR]

Good, now kill him off-screen while we at it.
