10 Worst Superhero Movie Miscasts

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor (Collider)

And here we are "“ Jesse Eisenberg was almost unanimously viewed as the worst thing about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. We should have seen this coming when we saw the first pics, in which he sported long locks in place of the comic book character’s iconic baldness.

We believed in this casting choice until we saw the movie. We then realized that this version of Lex Luthor completely lacked the comic book character’s brilliance and menacing aura. It was odd that the studio decided to have Lex be a power hungry magnate when the movie also featured Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill).

Even in Lex Luthor’s battle suit from the comics, the character would have been dwarfed by his cast mates. And we haven’t even mentioned his on-screen presence.

Of course, with a better script in hand, he’d have made quite an impression if he’d succeeded in tricking both Batman and Superman, given his stature and lack of physicality. But, again, that wasn't the case. As a result, we have no idea if we'll see Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor again.
