Lex Luthor

Images have surfaced from the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice showing Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor both with and without hair.

In spite of the complaints of those people who obviously don’t know the character from the comic books (“why does Lex Luthor have hair?!?!?!”), the fact he has hair isn’t the problem – he has had hair in the comic books prior to going bald – it’s the fact that the hair he does have in the images makes him look like an 18th Century French nobleman.

Eisenberg’s casting was a strange one to begin with. While some people do believe he has the acting chops to pull the portrayal off, others don’t, so getting his appearance right was essential.

The strange flowing locks in the pictures shown really don’t inspire confidence in the character, but we will all be hoping that we are proved wrong by the final performance – Eisenberg has a lot to live up to, as both Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey did the character justice previously.
