Another live action superman movie with a disappointing looking lex luthor

[Norrin Radd]

Lex Luthor is one of those characters who's always changed with the times. He's gone from mad scientist to legion of doom leader to president. Making him autistic dweeb in the 2010s was right on point. I don't think he needs to be physically intimidating either cause his real power comes from his brains. Plus, it makes the contrast with Supes even more evident.

 

[Lex Luthor]

Bait

 

[O.T.I.S.]

He was never black or half black

He’s been black or mixed in multiple iterations


He’s black currently in the HQ universe and spinoffs.


I’m curious about this choice. I like the actor but I actually prefer the Lex from the HQ universe. It’s a comedy but thats how I imagined Lex to be.

But James Gunn doesn’t really miss

Show me because I am a comic book fan and I have yet to see a black or mixed lex

 

[Apollo Creed]

Nicholas Hoult is a good actor.

Bruh… you could literally just google it





And the Harley Quinn character is played by a blackish guy

Those are both white and being voiced by a black person does not make the character black

Aight nikka, its your opinion then. You obviously stuck in it, so who cares then? Why even waste the time


Like, they OBVIOUSLY made his complexion different than anyone else's


Common sense no longer common

 

[Spence]

Looks wack but I’ll give it a watch. What you said was pretty spot on

Hate how they have Guy looking Flabby n sick. That bowl cut is horrendous


And Lex looks like a Bond villain. Could’ve made him more swagged up. And I always thought he was black from the cartoons

I need to get back to reading comics again

Voice actor was a Breh, he’s black in my mind from the animated universe. I agree they should’ve done a kingpin version of Lex similar to the animated universe…..but it’s James Gunn we are talking about.

I trust him though, everything he did in the MCU I loved.

Every movie is the same story

How about you show me a clip of a writer or artist commenting on his race instead of using your conjecture

Superman TAS and Justice League TAS’s Lex wasn’t black. He was based off Telly Savalas’s Blofeld from 007 On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

Clancy brown is black now

So what was he…
