The Luthor they haven’t done on film yet is my favorite, the Luthor who is physically fit, super intelligent, successful, charming.
Luthor was the pinnacle of what a human could be. Like ozymandias in watchmen. His name is Alexander, and he is supposed to be a modern day namesake. He is the perfect human, who is almost destined to be a world leader, then suddenly Superman appears, and can fly without effort, making Luthor who worked his ass off #2
Then Luthor finds out supes is an alien. Luthor believes that it is his human right to rule over earth if he is capable, and an alien has no right to stop him. If Superman had appeared in ancient times, would be have stopped Alexander, or Caesar or Augustus, would he have had the right to interfere in human affairs to that extent? Luthor went mad when Superman appeared, and won’t stop till he’s dead.
I like this take off Luthor as a xenophobe who thinks Superman, an immigrant has no business stopping his rise to power
He should be good in the role, but Jesus Christ do we need Lex Luthor AGAIN?
Supes has a deeper rogues gallery than Lex and Zod. Brainiac? Metallo? Parasite? Toyman? Bizarro? Mr. Mxyzptlk? Anyone?
Superman - Lex Luthor
Superman 2 - Zod / Lex Luthor
Superman 3 - Computer Science
Superman 4 - Lex Luthor / Nuclear Man
Superman Returns - Lex Luthor
Man of Steel - Zod
Batman v Superman - Lex Luthor / Batman / Doomsday
Justice League - Lex Luthor / Steppenwolf / DarkseidHonestly not what I expected but I’m interested.
Well we already know he will look good bald… and I find him to be a charming and compelling actor so that fits too. Not that it matters but I approve!
