First Look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in ‘Batman v. Superman’!

Like Ben Affleck announced as Batman, Jesse Eisenberg’s casting as Lex Luthor was met with much criticism from fans who prefer their villains to not remind them of dicks they met in college. They’d rather their villains look like their dad, like Bryan Cranston.

Entertainment Weekly has just dropped our first look at Jesse Eisenberg as Superman’s arch nemesis, Lex Luthor, and once again I knew those who bitched and moaned about Eisenberg’s casting were once again crying about nothing. Because LOOK AT HIM.

That’s Lex Luthor. That’s a cold son of a bitch right there. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. That is someone who is crazy enough to take down a living god.

It can be difficult to be excited about Batman v. Superman, among them for its ridiculous obsession for a dark and gritty nature that films like Guardians of the Galaxy prove that audiences just aren’t into like they were a few years ago. But I can’t help but be at least interested with every bit revealed.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is set for March 2016.
