Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) sat down with TODAY to promote his new book "Bream Gives Me Hiccups," and was asked about playing Lex Luther in Zack Snyder's upcoming movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

"Yes, it is like the most incredible character," Eisenberg offered. "It was written by this guy, Chris Terrio. This is like his first movie after Argo. He's just this brilliant writer of characters. So this movie is not this kind of cartoonish superhero movie. It is very serious and well acted, well written, well directed movie. It's really phenomenal!"
