Batman v Superman Reveals Jesse Eisenberg as Intense Lex Luthor in First Look Image

Today marks the one-year countdown until tWarner Bros. releases Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to what should be an incredible opening weekend at the box office. Sadly the powers that be didn’t deliver the first publicly released Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice teaser trailer. They did, however, deliver a first-look at the film’s central villain and Man of Steel arch-nemesis.

Via EW we have been treated to the first Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor image from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Technically it’s a publicity still, but it’s our first official look at Lex and he comes complete with clean shaven head and a menacing stare.


The irony of this picture coming out now is that most of the Jesse Eisenberg illegally snapped set pictures had him wearing a full head of hair. Here he’s clearly bald, and that makes us wonder if we’ll get to see the villain put knife to scalp for the first time.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure,” Snyder told EW, “other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course.”

Eisenberg joins Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and a cameo appearance by Jason Momoa as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Read a couple more Synder remarks about Lex over at EW.
