DC Fans Defend Jesse Eisenberg's Portrayal of Lex Luthor
This is probably true
prevnextI think if they named him literally anything other than Lex Luthor he would be fine https://t.co/eJm1DJO0sE

No notes on the casting
prevnextStroke of genius, casting.
EXACTLY who Lex Luthor would be today. We see it. Creepy, Calculated, and blinded by self fulfillment — All rooted in mental illness and a deep insecurity. https://t.co/sXeVqaCmF9

Unconventional
prevnextAbsolutely love Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. He's an unconventional portrayal but he really captures a lot of the core traits that makes the character so good. Would love to see more of him and Superman together. There's room for improvement but he's still a very good portrayal https://t.co/bgtFBbP9th

Takes all around
prevJesse Eisenberg played a great & comic-accurate Lex Luthor, and he was hated because the character was portrayed as an uncomfortable ego-weirdo you wouldn’t want to be a around instead of the“suave alpha male” people glorify Lex as. pic.twitter.com/MnXsLPhYlm
