right, if there was a billionaire mad scientist somewhere out there in 2015 he might resemble jesse eisenberg. he would probably be an isolated, quirky, elitist looking cac. but i don't know if that automatically makes him luthor.
luthor is a leader of men and a leader of people. not only that, but also a leader of supervillains. tell me are sinestro and black manta going to take orders from crazy marc zuckerberg too? could this luthor hold his own and stand toe to toe with the joker?
even if you want to make the argument that this is a lex luthor origin story, he still has to grow into this character sometime during the formation of the justice league. the question is could jesse eisenberg ever really portray that strong, alluring alpha male lex luthor is known to be? or is he always going to be a little bytch boy.
