First look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Big news today is that Warner bros have revealed the first images of Jesse eisenberg as Lex luthor.

Now from the very moment I heard about this piece of casting news I didn't really understand it, I thought somebody like idris Elba or Bryan Cranston would have been more suitable for the role of lex in batman vs superman. Now I have seen the picture I must say that it is a little bit of a mixed bag for me.

Now first the positives, love the fact that he shaved his head because if they had lex Luthor in this film with hair it would have just confused me and felt out of place. Also he looks pretty menacing in this image which is important because in previous superman films all lex has been after is real estate which is pointless to the film. But this lex looks intense and like he is willing to do whatever it takes to take down superman and maybe even Batman.

Now the negatives, it just looks so bit weird, I don't know if it's just the shape of his head or the fact that it is such a departure from his normal look that just makes me feel like it looks a bit weird. Also this image doesn't strike me as a guy who is one of the most intelligent men on the planet and can out think superman which is a key part of the character. Also and this isn't eisenbergs fault but he just looks way too young to be a lex Luther who can take down superman, but who knows maybe he will prove me wrong.

Overall this image is a bit of a mixed bag to me but I am glad they showed us it and didn't hold it to the movie because we needed to see this image before the movie.
