Lex Luthor: Do you know the oldest lie in America, Senator? It's that power can be innocent.


Lex Luthor: The Red Capes are coming! The Red Capes are coming!


Lex Luthor: [giving speech] Books are knowledge and knowledge is power, and I am... no. Um, no. What am I? What was I saying? The bittersweet pain among men is having knowledge with no power because... because that is *paradoxical* and, um... thank you for coming.


What a fucking dweeb

Of the many, MANY issues the movie had; I also feel this was overlooked when the movie was panned. In the end, I can't even remember him accomplishing anything.

If Lex knows Batmans identity why would Bruce send him to Arkham?

Also, in the credits they have someone named Lana but who is she in the movie? I'm guessing she was at the funeral towards the end.

Remember when speculation was that the Rock was going to play Luthor? THAT would have been awesome.

To be totally fair his role would have stunk under any actor.

What 'lie' is he even referencing? Can I just make up a random thing to be a lie to support my argument?

Do you know what the oldest lie is in America? That you shouldn't have ice cream for breakfast.

Isn't Zuckerberg spying on the entire world and didn't he steal the land from a bunch of native Hawaiians so he could build a mansion?

I was on board with basing him on a silicon valley CEO.

But Eisenberg wasn't even that. He was a fidgety weirdo. He was more like a guy trying to act like The Dark Knight's Joker on a YouTube stream.

The Rock actually played Superman in an SNL skit years ago. Was awesome.

I think some people in Hollywood think a compelling villain just needs a unique voice and some 'deep' monologues to have a compelling villain but you need a lot more than that.

Really the total flop of Lex shows how tough it is to actually make a great villain.

He was honestly the worst part of the movie for me. Even as an independent character, he was terrible. As an attempt at Lex Luthor, he was an insult.

I get that creative type people want to make adaptations their own and do their own thing, but something I feel like they need to take a step back and go "you know what, let's just do a traditional interpretation".

All Synder really would need to do is look at STAS/JL Lex and basically copy that. You can still do your original story, hell you can still have Jesse play him. But that Lex is basically the best parts of the character distilled.

Actually, one of the DCAU's best features is its ability to take characters with decades of history, stories, and characterizations and boil them down to their core essence. DCAU Lex was a pretty great merging of corrupt businessman Lex, mad scientist Lex, and self-proclaimed savior of humanity Lex.

I think it was funny how people were so caught up in panning Gal, and she turned out to be phenomenal, many would say the best even. Meanwhile I dont remember as much criticism towards him before release.

I'm still of the opinion that he could have been a fine Luthor with the right script and direction. Obviously he had neither.

Hell, Daniel Day Lewis couldn't be a good Luthor with what BvS served up.
