'Supergirl' Fans Want Michael Rosenbaum To Be Cast As Lex Luthor
CW's Supergirl is bringing on one of DC's most iconic villains in Lex Luthor, and fans seem to [...]
Calling Someone Out
Some fans are trying their best to call out Warner Bros and DC until they give into the obvious decision that is Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor, even calling them cowards (in jest of course). The second time around could be even better.
Cast Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor again, you cowards. https://t.co/dkDIFUl0oX

prevnextEyes Wide Open
When DC announced that Lex was getting ready to make his way to Supergirl, fans didn't take long to ask Rosenbaum if he would be surprising his role from Smallville, and the eye Emojis followed soon after.
@michaelrosenbum is it you? Are you returning as Lex Luthor for #Supergirl? ? https://t.co/RXchXyqlfM

prevnextWhat About The Hair
Another question becomes if Rosenbaum does take the mantle of Lex Luthor in Supergirl, what happens to his hair? Rosenbaum sported the bald look all throughout Smallville, but in the years since he has grown it out, and he might not want to shave it all off again.
@michaelrosenbum just read Lex Luthor will be making an appearance on Supergirl..... one question: do you still have hair at this moment?

prevnextThe Perfect Age
Rosebaum's Lex Luthor on Smallville has many fans, and some think his Luthor could be even better now that he's a bit older.
Rosenbaum may actually be the perfect age for the role now. I just hope Superman is in that episode too. I'd like to see more of him as a supporting member for Supergirl, as long as he isn't weaker.

prevnextA Plea
Sometimes simpler is better, and one fan decided to appeal to Supergirl and The CW directly about her hopes of a Rosenbaum Luthor.

prevnextElite Company
Rosenbaum has played a character that has also been brought to the screen by actors like Gene Hackman, Kevin Spacey, and Jessie Eisenberg, but some still believe Rosenbaum is the best out of that group.
Michael Rosenbaum is, in my opinion, the better Luthor out of this quartet.

prevnextAll In
There's growing group of fans, creators, and writers who all would love to see Rosenbaum back in the role he played on CW's Smallville, a decision they are all in for.
If they bring back Michael Rosenbaum, I'm all in on this choice. https://t.co/NgZaMT4FcN

prevnextNot Even Close
To other fans, it isn't even a discussion about who the best Luthor is, and he would definitely be an asset to Supergirl.
Michael Rosenbaum and IMO it’s not even close! He played Lex absolutely beautifully,creating such a psychologically complex version. I still refer to Smallville S3’s episode Shattered as some of the finest acting on TV @michaelrosenbum

prevnextNo More Iconic
If you're going to bring a villain to the DC shows, it might as well be one of the biggest, and if you're going to do that, why not bring an actor along who delivered one of the most memorable versions.
There will never be a Lex Luthor more iconic than Michael Rosenbaum don't @ me https://t.co/20YPPvnamX

prevnextOn The Contrary
Some aren't so sure that Rosenbaum returning would be a good thing, citing that CW could ruin the character. Others are quick to dismiss those claims though, and it's Rosenbaum or bust.
