\"jesse-eisenberg-3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Several months ago DC and Warner Brothers shocked everyone when they revealed actor Jesse Eisenberg would be joining Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice as the infamous Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n

While at this point the jury is still out on the final verdict in this casting. At this point all judgments seem to be either extremely positive or extremely negative, but everyone can admit that final judgments must be held off until we see the film itself.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week the site Batman-News<\/a> posted an “exclusive” scoop that detailed Lex Luthor’s appearance in the film, which this incarnation included a full head of hair:<\/p>\n

LexCorp scenes were filmed over the past two days and a source tells\u00a0<\/span>Batman News<\/em>\u00a0that Eisenberg has \u201ca lot of hair\u201d. It\u2019s not Eisenberg\u2019s typical curly look \u2014 it\u2019s a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it\u2019s dirty blonde. Eisenberg\u2019s Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day. I\u2019m told that the scenes shot take place towards the beginning of the movie\u2026 so maybe there\u2019s still a chance that Lex Luthor could show up bald by the end? We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At first fans began to freak out thinking that we were simply getting an evil adaptation of “The Social Network” film, or an over the top Gene Hackman approach, but now thanks to\u00a0JoBlo<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span> we may now have an idea of what to expect from the motivations of Lex Luthor in the up coming film, which if true, would be a breath of fresh air compared to his previous cinematic incarnations.<\/p>\n

Lex Luther (who is rumored to have longish red hair at the beginning of the film) thinks he is god’s gift to humanity and the best that humanity has to offer, which leads to his hatred of Superman. Because Superman is basically a \u201cgod\u201d it makes Lex feel less than perfect. Lex tries to sway people to dislike and fear Superman – and many people ARE swayed. Some see Superman as a hero, while others see him as the ultimate threat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
