Can you imagine Eisenberg Lex Luthor (or any Luthor version) in the upcoming Suicide Squad 2 movie??
I don't. At all. Lex doesn't receive orders from anyone. He is a leader. A big bad.
Sigh, someone on twitter suggested that he should be in that movie as part of the team... He really doesn't know the character it seems.
When it comes to comics,one person's "fan-service" is another persons personal cannon. So by definition it's ALL fan service. Aren't we ALL fans?
SUPERMAN is the greatest fictional character ever created.
Yeah I can’t either. Eisenberg is good at playing losers. Relatable losers aka Zombieland and sociopath losers aka Social Network. But confident charismatic leaders? He can’t pull that off at all. Honestly if there’s one upside to Cavill leaving it’s that Lex would definitely get recast too.
Oh my GOD, now I actually need that Superman spin-off. A few seconds promo and he might already be my favorite live action Lex.

Looks good.. but we all know Kara and Lena will outsmart him.
I think the concern is more that he's going to be brought in and used as a fall guy to make the usual cast look better, so in Lex's case, Lena will be made out to be superior to him in the way Clark is surpassed by Kara.
I don't watch the show, but that's the impression I got from the comment.
Don't know, I don't really watch the show or Arrowverse at large. It just isn't for me and that's okay.
I was just trying to clear up what I thought may have been a misunderstanding. Nevertheless, Lex is traditionally the smartest, most magnificent bastard in the DC universe, so perhaps the concern is that Lena would outsmart him and be critical in shutting him down if not outright orchestrate it.
Yeah I know what stargazer meant and understand the concern. In my earlier response, I explained that assuming that Lex written and acted as a serious threat, I’m not really bothered if Lena and Kara foil his scheme since they are the heroes of this story. But yeah if Lex tells Lena that she’s better than him then yeah that would annoy me. I didn’t really care about Kara beating Kal in a fight but him repeatedly putting himself down to praise his cousin was cringey.
Eisenberg Lex can't lead a beer league softball team, that idiot should be cannon fodder, that moron almost got himself and everyone on Earth killed through his stupidity. A good version of Lex (which has never appeared in a movie) can be a power that directs which missions the Suicide Suicide goes on, having enough pull in the government to essentially be able to use the Suicide Squad to serve his aims, once and a while.
I think Michael Rosenbaum finally has some competition as the best live action Lex Luthor.
Wouldn't it be ironic that if Cryer does what it looks like he's doing here that the three best live action Lex's (Rosenbaum,Shea and presumably Cryer) were all on TV while the main live action Luthors on film (Hackman,Spacey and Eisenberg) all fall short to one degree or another?
Anyway I'm excited. I've only casually watched Supergirl the last couple seasons but I will be staying tuned the next few weeks.
We've got a decent Supes,a decent Lois and it looks like here a phenomenal Lex, and Arrow is over next season after Crisis on infinite Earths. Time would be right to get a bonafide Superman series to replace it. If WB films don't want to do anything with Kal, let television have him for a bit.
