I thought that casting was a joke when I first heard it, people were saying give it a chance when trailers came out, and then it was still terrible in the movie. I can tell if I'm going to like a certain performance from trailers and I'm baffled still why he was chosen out of all people to play Lex.
People say that Snyder is a comic fan, but I don't know. I don't read a whole lot compared to some of y'all, but to me from what I'm used to in the DCAU and the animated movies Lex always came off as a dude with some suaveness and swagger to him with a little crazy under the surface and what I saw in Batman v. Superman was none of that. That shit was bad. I am not looking forward to his return.
Also what's with some people saying he's not really Lex Luthor? Some dude said, "No he wasn't Lex, he was Lex Jr.".

Oh good, I was torn on whether or not to see this, but now my decision is made for me - nope.
Guess I'll have to wait ten years for them to reboot this mess after all.

I watched him in American Ultra and all I could think was, he would be a great Joker in the DC Universe. Leto could have been a good Lex if you swap for the sake of it.

Dude If God is all powerful he cannot be all good and if he is all good he cannot be all powerful
I mean, I can imagine Trump sinking the entire California coast to make a quick buck off of a real estate scheme, yeah.

Can't we just not mention it either way so people online can argue who his true client is or if they just didn't bother to come up with a client?

It can if WB stays out of shit and gets rid of Zack fucking Snyder.

Everything about Lex Luther in BvS can be summed up with one simple question: WHY?
Is BronsonLee secretly Zack Snyder? Research is needed

There was already Man of Steel, but unfortunately that was it.
If I could get that at least, I'll be straight.

I think he might've gotten around to explaining it at that dinner party, if he hadn't become so self-conscious when everyone was staring at him because he was starting and stopping his speech and rambling on like a f*cking lunatic.

Yeah, I don't think I'm even going to bother seeing this. Let me know how it is GAF!

Yeah, there's are some similarities, but isn't Lex's whole thing that he's super smart?
Smallville foreshadowing
Lex Luthor is Donald Trump's self-image. Maybe except the bald part.

Umm, Ok. I don't see how this is surprising. Ofcourse he was going to be in JL. Thank you, Zack Snyder!

This is one of the (many) weird cuts from the theatrical cut. He was playing for an insanity defense and Batman arranged for him to go to Arkham.

He was trash in BvS, bit it's possible he might reign that shit in and put in a semi decent performance.

He's more complex than the standard villain. His motivation isn't revealed outright, nor is it black and white. He's got daddy issues and hates Superman's godlike status and physical power over him.
Lex wants to expose Superman and turn the world against him. He wants to destroy Superman's entire being, both his rep and physically... But not really, because his biggest fantasy is to gain control over him somehow and be his superior. That scene where he brings Clark to his knees is his proudest moment.
Basically... His lust for destroying Superman, fucking with his head, and controlling him all conflict with each other. He goes back and forth on what he's trying to do. He's smart but he's also a mess, which confuses people about what he actually wants.

Eisenberg gets killed like a little bitch in the first 5 minutes.
We find out that he was actually Lex Luthor Jr and he was adopted.
Dwayne Johnson steps in as the real Luthor. With long curly red hair. Plus Michael Ironside dubs his voice for some reason. And Mercy is still alive.
DCCU redeemed.
