Let's start with the fact that BvS's Lex Luthor was a mad scientist. That might seem like stating the obvious, but we need to unpack it. In the 1978 Superman movie, Luthor was a criminal genius, but not much of a scientist. For example, he stole a nuclear missile instead of building one. Lex didn't do anything really scientific until Superman IV: T...
Luthor is supposed to be insane, but the movies haven't really shown that side often. With Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey, Lex Luthor was more arrogant than crazy. You could argue that the idea of wanting to kill people just to get rich showed Lex was insane, but that was more internal. They came across more like sociopaths who didn't care whether p...
Lex Luthor in Batman v Supermanwas also scarier than any other Luthor we'd seen in the movies so far. Hackman and Spacey were more cheerful while carrying out horrible crimes, but Luthor's moments of randomness made him harder to predict, which made every moment he was on the screen more intense. When he put a piece of hard candy into the mouth of ...
Since John Byrne's reinvention of Lex Luthor in his acclaimed Man of Steel miniseries in 1986, Lex Luthor has been almost exclusively shown in the comics and TV shows as a billionaire whose international corporation funds and builds the equipment for his evil schemes, yet that's never been a part of the movies. In the Supermanfilms of the '80s, Lut...
Another thing that took Batman v Superman's Lex Luthor over the top was the actor who portrayed him. Gene Hackman was a brilliant actor, and so was Kevin Spacey. They both brought a strength and humor to their roles that made them unforgettable, but Jesse Eisenberg took his performance to a whole new level. No matter what you thought of his Lex Lut...
In all the movies before Batman v Superman, Lex Luthor was pretty one-dimensional. Hackman and Spacey's Lex Luthor was evil with a capital E. They wanted to kill millions of people, and suffered no guilt or confusion over it. They were also wildly egotistical. They carried themselves with confidence and swagger that never wavered or broke. They bel...
Once again, we'll go back to the earlier portrayals of Lex Luthor to see why BvSimproved on them. Hackman and Spacey's Lex had no backstory at all, except for the occasional wisecrack about their fathers. We didn't know how they were warped into the flamboyant sociopaths they were. Yet in the comics, Lex has a deep and complex history that led him ...
In the movies of the '80s, Lex Luthor was motivated by money and egotism. He wanted to be recognized as the greatest criminal mind in history, and he wanted to make a crap-ton of money. He wanted revenge in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, and in Superman Returns, Luthor was driven for money and revenge against Superman. In Batman v Superman, Lex ...
Another thing that set Lex Luthor apart was his hatred of Superman. In the older movies, Lex Luthor hated Superman because the superhero kept foiling his plans and getting him thrown in jail. In Batman v Superman, Lex Luthor hated Superman because he was too powerful and he didn't believe that Superman's power could be handled in an innocent way. T...
As we said before, Lex Luthor in the older movies was nothing but a criminal. The first time we saw Hackman's Luthor was with his hand pushing a lever to throw a government agent into the path of an oncoming train. The first we saw Spacey's Luthor, he was forging an old woman's signature to steal her fortune. Like all the other characters, Lex Luth...
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the first live-action film to feature Batman and Superman together, as well as the first live-action cinematic portrayal of Wonder Woman. In the film, criminal mastermind Lex Luthor manipulates Batman into a preemptive battle with Superman, who Luthor is obsessed with destroying.
Lex Luthor : I don't know! I wouldn't let them tell me! If you kill me, Martha dies. And if you fly away, Martha also dies. But if you kill the Bat, Martha lives. [Superman calms down and Lex approaches his hand]
