Almost any scene in which Lex Luthor talks

There are several scenes in which Lex Luthor is the most interesting character in the world "“ and we say that with no sarcasm at all. This new version of the character falls almost perfectly within this movie, but only in certain scenes, such as when he interacts with Finch and Barrows. In the others, however, you can only ask yourself why he went in that direction with the delivery of his lines.

And the best example would be during the reception, when his voice can be heard in the background, changing tonality (as it too often does), as if trying to cover the tense conversation between Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent.

Or, as another example, on the rooftop, when he convinces (?!?) Superman to kill Batman. Lex Luthor seems like a caricature of a villain in these Batman v Superman moments, spewing sentences and words as if he came straight out of the comics"¦

Yes, this sounds pretty cool: Black and blue. Fight night. The greatest gladiator match in the history of the world. God versus man. Day versus night! Son of Krypton versus Bat of Gotham!

But it sounds cool only when it’s of context.

Yes, we like this new version of Luthor, diabolical and such "“ however, maybe it would have been for the better if he indeed provided comic relief just for the audiences and remained a cynical and diabolical manipulator at any other time.
