    I dig the new Lex Luthor Image. Lex has changed throughout the years. Mad scientist, Evil Corporate Dick Face, Politician. This is a fitting interpretation for the times and I'm happy to see SV CEO's vilified any time.

    I think the film makers are trying to do what Frank Miller did when he wrote Dark Knight Returns way back in the 80's and tell a version of that story today. I think that's incredibly fun. That's the element of DKR that I loved, and I'm interested in what that story looks like interesting. Also Batman and Superman will punch each other. Batman will get really violent as a result of innocent deaths, Superman will mange to be all superior and arrogant and yet still manage to have some kind of self doubt. Lex will manipulate the whole thing. That's the shit I've loved in comics from the past 30 years and I'll happily watch two and a half hours of it on screen.

    • A self-entitled rich kid who becomes delusional because of virtually unlimited power and resources. Seems plausible.ETM
    • Or a driven rich kid who never had many challenges and actively seeks them through other means, perhaps.ETM
    • Likely a tech genious billionaire to fit the modern zeitgeist.ETM
