Lex Luthor (DC Extended Universe)



Alexander Joseph Luthor, Jr., otherwise known as Lex Luthor, is the main antagonist of the 2016 superhero film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the second installment of the DC Extended Universe and the sequel to 2013's Man of Steel, and a minor antagonist in 2017's Justice League.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) Lex Luthor looks like a college student, rather than an adult like in the comics.
 * 2) He's a spoiled daddy's boy who inherited Lexcorp rather than a genius billionaire, rarely acts like himself, and very obviously went through a lot of rewrites.
 * 3) Jessie Eisenberg did a terrible job portraying him.
 * 4) The scene with the Jolly Rancher candy.
 * 5) His plan is also confusing, nonsensical, and often self-contradicting. His motivation also constantly changes between hating Kryptonians, hating god, daddy issues, and knowing that invaders are coming in the future.
