Supergirl: Best of Lex Luthor 

Didnt realize that was Alan from Two and a Half Men. Yes I do like how he plays this role.

Definitely my favorite.

Clark and lex we're friends

He looks like Andrew Tate idk why

​​@gregoryrook-green453 Blad head and light beard. Throw in the evil attitude and it is almost identical.

@Power106Fan forums, youtube comments, fb groups, etc

@Power106Fan And that hate is equally idiotic with this one. Eisenberg and Cryer had the most comic accurate Luthors.

I mean at least this one doesn’t pee in a jar

@@user-mx4is4fx3c don't forget Clancy brown's luthor in the cartoons

It’s hated because John Cryer is not an intimidating person, or man. At all. Lex Luthor is someone you look at and fear, not because he’s jacked up like a wrestler or anything but because he has more of a macho presence to him than John Cryer can portray. Nothing against him as an actor, he did his best rendition of Lex. But again, there’s nothing scary, intense or intimidating about him. Lex is all of those things. Personally, aside from Gene Hackman in the OG Christopher Reeves films. I’d have to give it to Michael Rosenbaum in Smallville for playing one of the most evil, intimidating and brutal Luther’s to be shown on screen. Again, I’ve liked everything else I’ve seen John Cryer in, he’s a great actor. Even as Lenny Luthor in Superman IV, he was hilarious in that. But as the man himself, Lex. Not so much.

Smallville lex for me

what a joke

These are my favourite Lex Luthor's Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor in Superman (1978 - 1987) Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor in Superman Returns Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in Batman vs Superman Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor on Supergirl (season 4 - 6)

​@@MiracleFruitClockThat's you. An unfunny joke.

@@kiwiangeldust6912 For Christ sake! All Cryer is doing is channeling Alan Harper's dark side in Two and a half men, That Darn Priest episode. It's no wonder the guy couldn't get much work after Two and a half men. I love the fact that they quickly dropped him to play in Superman and Lois.

The last few seasons I was.

@@petersmith7521 When he wins, he makes it look so satisfying :D.

I guess no one can't top michael rosenbaum's lex

@yoshimickster - Many people like him, actually (this would be more of a BvS situation... Where the audience is split 50/50 in their opinions). I guess it is because, like with Tyler Hoechlin´s Superman, this version of Lex is meant to be a mixture of ALL the previous versions of the character. This is not old school "silly" Lex Luthor (like Gene Hackman´s, Kevin Spacey´s or Jessie Eisenberg´s version of Lex), but it´s not "serious" Lex Luthor either (like John Shea´s, Michael Rossembaum´s or Clancy Brown´s versions of Luthor). This is a complete mixture of the two, so SOME people who only like one version, who will only accept "serious" Lex or "silly" Lex, both can find a reason to dislike this portrayal of the character (when both could also find MANY reasons to LOVE John Cryer´s Luthor... But they CHOOSE to ignore that, because being a hater is fun, apparently). But, as Ive said, I can name A LOT of reactors and reviewers who LOVE Cryer´s portrayal.

Yeah... But I can't help thinking of Alan harper when I see him 🤣🤣

Lex Could have lived at superman house for Free for Years😂

Bcs. Rosenbaum set up the big standards

Exactly.

It's good to see him finally getting on his feet.

You mean Bad Alan? 😅

You're just pigeonholing him, that's your problem.

he is

Didn't know he was from 2 and half men 😂. My mind is blown

I loved him in Two & a Half Men, but, seeing him in this, I didn't know Alan Harper went bald

I watched it only for Lex he’s one of the good things in Supergirl the rest is meh

He was Lenny Luthor ,Lex Luthor son in superman 4.

Well I'm a fan of both, and I loved him

@Retro mania 22 lex luthor's nephew.

@Retro mania 22 Yeah that was a good decade.

YES!

oh nuuuuu

he’s actually real good, a lot better then i thought. i didnt watch supergirl at this point cause i didn’t like the writing, in fact at this point i stopped watching the arrowverse shows. but michael rosembaum still my favourite, but it’s all personal preference.

Because we live in a world that has Smallville in it lol

Agreed, smallville lex is way better than cryer or Eisenberg

@Power106Fan His version gets a lot of hate on Reddit for being too campy

@Power106Fan If you are a Lex Luthor fan, check out this fan edit... :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c2p0_ySRoR8.html

He needs to have an internal mean streak and absolute demigod of terror all contained internally.

​@@Russkafinhe's always been half campy half serious I feel Jon made both work when needed, reddit isn't to be taken seriously anyway

You won't see him on Superman and Lois. They brushed him off quickly.

Because they can only think of Alan Harper when they think of Jon Cryer.

​@@theflash62281i knew as freakshow from danny phantom

I think it’s because the show and Cryer’s performance both nail AND call out Lex’s pettiness, and lots of people don’t like seeing Lex as petty.

Referencing may be the more accurate description.

Lol yeah I remember watching this for the first time and thinking ' Hey, Alan Harper became a super villain' 😂

Finally sick of his ex wife’s bullshit!

It’s Bad Alan

@@Handlethis81637he had enough of Charlie’s bullshit

@@cwp4eva 😂

@@Handlethis81637 Oh shit Bad Alan is back

And bald

He's hilarious on Two and a Half Men

Me too.

Good to see someone remember that role. Dude graduated from Lenny to Lex with distinction 😂

All because he was either sick of Charlie or his family’s bullshit. 😅

Charlie: “ya gotta admit, Alan, he quit while he was ahead.”

What if he was luthor in Batman v Superman and Snyder’s justice league

Charlie kicked him out of the house.

Berta. ❤

No, thisbis what happens when he stood up yo Judith

I agree! I also think he's the best live action iteration of the character we have had.

Probably a shoutout
