Lex Luthor 'Batman v Superman' Behind The Scenes [+Subtitles] 

Hey man!!

Thank youuu xd

Flashback FilmMaking

Were sinhala language.

Affleck is 6'4 and he's also wearing a massive suit. I love how big it looks. A beast. Exactly how Bats should be.

@@gimu9834 fuck yeah bro, shits beautiful

He has an enormous head. One size fits all caps doesn't fit him

The BvS suit is the shit, JL suit sucks! BvS looks and is the best Batman on Film!!

@@markmaroun6612 yeah BvS suit is perfection. JL tactical suit is pretty badass too but that cowl ruins the whole thing. Nothing like the cowl made by iron head studios, no stiff neck turning

Still could’ve done better. They really should’ve cast someone who is more like the comic version

@@TyrellWellickEcorp will you shut the fuck up BASED ON BIRTHRIGHT

@@TyrellWellickEcorp what the hell are you talking about Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor is based of a version a Luther

you should really watch more movies if he is one of the best you have watched in the last 10 years

Taylor Swift / Rachel Vartinse Sandler Tigers Li

exactly

they said that about superman in man of steel too. In bvs he will become the superman you all love from the comics. NO HE FUCKING WASNT!

Max Krampe Except they didn't. It was always supposed to be Justice League that brings light and hope in the DCEU, other than Wonder Woman. It was Zack Snyder's plan. He said it multiple times. He wanted to see Superman go through some stuff before he becomes the traditional Superman. Batman v Superman was a part of that. Superman will be the one we know in Justice League. Just wait.

well nobody expected superman to die. It was way to early for that story

What in the shit are you talking about? Take the Joker for example, when he was Jack, before he turned into Joker, he was different right? We can agree on that? But something happened to him and he changed. He became Joker. Now Lex Luthor. He starts as a rich guy who hates the concept of God, meaning he hates Superman. He never had a real challenge in his adult life before that. He is overconfident, he think he's in control but he's not. And he ended up in Arkham Asylum. Now, what do you think is gonna happen? He will change. Prison changes people so fucking Arkham? Even worse. When he'll be out, he'll be someone who learned from his mistakes, someone colder, someone who will have more experience and someone who will do anything to get the job done. He will be *the* Lex Luthor. You gotta know that Lex originally started as a goofy ass balding ginger fuck. He never always was the cool and collected bald man we all know. He started somewhere too. That's what they did in this film. He is Lex Luthor, just a younger version of him. And Jesse Eisenberg did a great job. Maybe you should read the sentence again because it made perfect sense and is in no way a contradiction to anything. Hell, part of Batman v Superman was basically an origin story for Lex.

Marvel turned Thor into a comedian in Ragnarok and people say it's the best Thor movie. I mean, it was, but at least be consistent with your complaints lmao

One of the biggest differences is that Marvel's characters aren't well known outside of the MCU. Whereas DC's characters are some of the most iconic characters in the world. Other than the comics, where else have we seen the MCU characters (prior to the MCU)? Nowhere. Iron Man had a cartoon series for a while in the 90s, but it was never as big as X-Men or Spider-Man. And Cap had something back in the 70s I think it was? That's it. Superman and Batman have collectively had 11 feature films, at least 14 series (that I could think of), multiple video games and direct-to-video animated movies, spanning 8 decades. Even if you've never even seen a comic book, you know these characters. If you want to plumb the depths of comic history for obscure tidbits to throw in for fans, great. But if you're going to make your character based on a version that hasn't been around since your grandparents were kids, don't expect people to be happy about it. Lex having hair wasn't the problem. Lex being flamboyantly goofy was. The biggest problem though is that he wasn't making a DC film. He was remaking Watchmen (one of the few comics that he actually knows & likes). That's why Batman was so violent - he was Rorschach. Superman was brooding and disconnected because he was Dr. Manhattan. And Lex was flamboyant because he was Ozymandias.

@@g2.a6 But I like Thor's funny version ! I also loved Batman V Superman. For me BVS is the greatest movie I ever watched. This movie is dark, intense, deep and scary, different, serious and entertaining !!! I don't care too much about comic accuracy. I just want to watch something different and entertained ! The same thing is with Thor Ragnarok ! I don't care if they made him funny. I just wanted to be entertained and it did entertain me !!!

@@NatureLover8286 i like them too. It's mostly about people saying X movie is bad cause it's not accurate, then saying Y movie is good eventhough it's not accurate either. It's annoying and kinda hipocritical.

@@g2.a6 I agree mate ! People are just such a mess ! Movies are made to watch and get entertained. Don't know why people start to fight over these and speak crap !!!

If I had to guess why they took the line out it would be to continue the idea of Lex abd Bruce being very similar during he film but each taking a different road. Each of them has clearly let their issues concerning Superman take them to far but where as Batman is basically a good person and is able to recognize this before he has stepped across the line, Lex's narcissism cannot allow him make this observation of himself ("I don't know how to lose"). He is so hellbent on proving that his view of the world is true that he has become willing to do anything, even unleashing a monster like, "DoomsDay", to make that happen.

Michael Schinke which is stupid because lex isn't that insane. He always has a back up plan. Also whats the point if killing super,am if everyone dies. Lex wants everyone to love him and see him as the hero.

Firstly; that all depends on your definition of insanity Secondly; older versions of the character, pre 1986, were portrayed as your typical, "mad scientist" characteras the video points out. Thirdly; it sounds like you are taking an interpretation of Lex that comes from a source other than the movie and using it to inform your view of the character in the movie. I don't think this is wise as you will not be able to resolve the two versions. The version of the character in the movie is a unique amalgam of severl different versions of the character used to create it's own version. This character is built from the Lex Luthor archetype but does not follow the rules that govern other versions of the character. Al that is just a way to say; movie Lex is not comic book Lex. You can't measure them using the same ruler.

I have my parents' DNA and I don't obey them because of it.

BRG 0001 It was in the movie. And could you not deduce that for yourself?? That was my first thought when I saw him drip his blood in the Genesis Chamber. I guess Snyder overestimated the intelligence of the average viewer.

He was Riddler to me

A highly intellectual man who manipulates people? Lex Luthor and Riddler have alot in common. If you are refering to Jim Carrey's Riddler in Batman Forever, then you should rewatch both BvS and Batman Forever. They are not even close.

Yeah..that's it. Too intelligent. Sure. Worst ever.

@@mehmeh533Worst take ever

Even if the character does not change to resemble other portrayals of the character; why does that matter? The only criteria that should be used to examine the character is, "Does that character serve a purpose in this story? Does the character feel as if it comes from the world of this story? Is the portrayal of the character consistent with the world and does it compliment the other actors work?" As long as the character continues to fulfill that criteria then nothing else should matter.

No versions of Lex Luthor is mature. He is always unreasonable and psycopathic. Idk how people get cool and calm from him. Its just an act

If by mature they mean older then yes, this is typical. But you are correct; Lex is a narcissist and a sociopath and has been since the 1986 reboot. His cool detachment is a function of his pathology he believes himself to be above any other human on the planet. However like all narcissists Lex is quick to blow should he be challenged as his ego will not allow that kind of affront. What people remember or see is, at times, only what they choose to. In this case people want to cling to the facade of the character instead of embracing the fact that he was always not just a little, but all the way insane. Just because you're a genius doesn't mean you can't be nuts.

No he sucks are you dumb

@@infinitegamer9732 maybe your the dumb one, if you dont like this lex luthor then why even watch this video or even comment about him?

Elz Robinson It's rated pretty fairly.It was cringy and atrocious

if u say so lol

ReelO Lmao being that it's based on the version from a certain comic it's pretty damn accurate you're just biased because of your idea of lex you can't say the acting itself was bad, he gave a hell of a performance

@@premaritalbread6824 you want cringe? Watch marvel movies

Divvay Khatri good joke

exactly if you read the comments some people didn't even watch the video before commenting.

Eggs Benedict Cucumberbatch Basically

Eggs Benedict Cucumberbatch That seems to be why a lot of people didn't like MoS & BvS: they aren't what they're used to

Eggs Benedict Cucumberbatch Really valid point my man, actually kinda like the modern Lex now.

I'm a DC fan, I KNOW Golden Age Lex Luthor, but....... I though "we are not in 1938" like like Perry White sayed himself, so....... Why use this Lex Luthor?

Sam Blake As the character evolves throughout the DCEU I think we'll begin to see the Lex that everyone's used to. A more fully realized one. Just like our homeboy Superman.

Sam Blake same

Sam Blake yes but lex always had this charming way about him. he could convince anybody thanks to his charismatic personality. but this lex was annoyimg, child like, and misunderstood. liked the character but just wrong lex

Leisure Gaming fully realised Lex has a charming way about him. Beginner Lex and birthright Lex does not.

Sam Blake Michael Rosenbaum was a better Lex Luthor

Dude. Thank you. Jesus christ. Your comment is the exact one I would use to describe how critics and WB fucked the dceu over. People bitches and moaned over movies they didn’t understand bc its not marvel and WB trashed it. What a fuckin world we live in

You used darn and damn in the same sentence.. interesting.

Exactly

Whatever comics he was paying homage to, it sucked. Period. The Lex from the animated series would have been a hit. Hands down. Why would you not give people the best Lex that you can give them and give them some obscure version from some obscure comic series?

UrbanLegend131 BvS is the man of steel sequel!

THE REAL MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD It's a follow-up to MoS, not a sequel. The MoS sequel is currently in development.

THE REAL MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD there will be man of steel 2

If there is one

@@enoch6499 one can hope

I totally feel the same way☺

He even came back in a Flash

@@LordofMovies91 nice

All the good lex luthors have Jewish last names

@@SpeedDemon908 If actors didn’t use stage names, it would be way more than Lex Luthor lol

That showcases his motivation amazingly though, the thought of Superman because in that scenario Luthor sees him as the one with the power and no knowledge. It set up his anger against Kal.

I think that was the moment when the mask started cracking in front of all those people. He was struggling to hold the monster within.

Those people don't read comics. Lol

I _do_ read comics and Luthor never acted like this.

"This not the real Lex Luthor. Go read the comics you fucking casuals!!!" -Non comic readers

r0bw00d thats not true, read birthright.

"He's on his way to becoming the iconic Lex Luther in the comic books, but it's a very different version." - Geoff Johns literally in this video. Come on...

Your wish has been granted.

william kinlan then that means you still do not understand about this movie

william kinlan then you need to remove a little "hate for DC" before you watch this movie

william kinlan okay then . . Everyone has a different perspective to everything . .. And maybe your mind saw this from the negative side. And me . .. I just enjoy it first, then i try to undersatnd it, and my mind GET the greatness side of this movie

You can tell if people "understand" this film by the Martha scene. If an idiot sees it as a joke then they dont understand the film entirely. I agree this film was very complex and will become a cult classic mark my words

That's because you're prepubescent child. BvS is about as deep as a puddle. "MAAAARTHA!?"

I would've accept Jesse Eisenberg's Lex had he played him the way he did in the Social Network.

esteban romero what you express is totally right. MASTERPIECE!

It is a really good movie, especially in extended cut, but it's far from the best movie of all time

Agreeed

Definitely.

esteban romero it really isn’t the best movie of all time

So it is a poor choice of comic inspiration then. Some comic versions of characters do not translate well to live action. Jesse was simply terrible. You can't force people to see it differently. Most disliked Jesse's Lex for good reason. Nobody can take that face seriously.

If you have to watch a Behind the Scenes video to appreciate more what you didn't like about a character originally, then there is still a serious problem with the portrayal.

frr

What is the meaning. Enlighten us. He is just a shitty Lex. Zack should have went for animated series Lex. Not some kid. People hate Jesse's portrayal for a reason. If so many people don't "understand", maybe it was not the best choice to begin with. You make movies to make money. BvS was a shit show anyway. Too much stuff in one movie.

Jim Carey should've won one for Batman Forever in that case 😂😂😂😂

A U yeah and Downey should’ve one for Iron man in that case. Since we’re just kidding around. 🤣🤣

Tom Siebert why do Snyder die-hards assume if you think his films are trash it’s because you’re an MCU fanboy 😂😂😂😂. I just watched the Batman and Lex in prison scene and it is f’ing awful he is literally just being Jim Carey in Batman forever

A U no he’s actually being the original lex Luthor from the early comics. Did you not even watch the vid. That’s scene is a warning from the bat. It’s fricken awesome. Also lex Luthor had just given us an indication about what he did. He rung the bell. He’s psychotic. It’s who he is. He’s taken from the comics but you ARE just to much of an mcufan to admit it. You probably haven’t even watched BVS. And that performance 100% deserves an Oscar.

but psychopaths actually do that

Raven Sixx I like how you're scraping the bottom of the barrel to ignore how shit this movie was

ReelO except this movie isn't shit.

Muzaffar Zarrataj i get tired of telling special people that this movie was messy, superman bashing, murder fantasy that looled pretty but made no sense.

@ vv BVS was brilliant and made perfect sense

John Wonder incredible, everything you just said was wrong

I think the haircut wasn't what most of the "normal people" had problems with there buddy.

@@KMM-kx2yn Everything you say is wrong

TheVargr He does know who she really is. Lex stole her 1918 photograph with her and Steve Trevor.

thats not what I was saying. Lex knows she is some sort of Meta-human as she is over 100 years old at least (actually a lot older than that). The question is does he know that she is the daughter of Zeus or not? If he has just that image of her and some video footage of her it seems unlikely he knows anything else about Diana

TheVargr I think he did it purposely to rile her up

Wow, never thought of it that way 🤔🤔

Dude. Eisenberg is the same age as Cavill. That makes Superman the same age AS LEX LUTHOR IN THIS MOVIE! EPIC FAIL! No! Lex is like the joker/riddler in this film. Worst Lex ever! Lex was supposed to be older than Clark and the same age as Batman in the lore!

clark kent Exactly, -Superman- I mean Clark. 3:30-3:40 explain why DC cast Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and were his character arc is setting for the DCEU :)

For me he acted like Jessie Eisenberg hes playing himself, he would make a good but annoying Riddler

Because he's that powerful

Spacebar Hater I hope Eisenberg fully grows into Lex Luther like the one we know now. I hope in the future he bulks up into a physically empowering figure and pull off a fully matured threat.

RPIXELN Maybe Lex's ancestors was there when Diana was fighting Ares.
