Well, you could always go as every TV version of Lex Luthor since they always have beards lol
 
Regarding Ultraman.

You know, when they revealed that he was going to be the main physical threat to Superman, I was iffy on the whole thing because I’ve never really cared for the Crime Syndicate and the only time I ever found them interesting was in Earth 2. That said, I knew this Ultraman was going to be a bit of a remix in that he wasn’t from an alternate universe and would likely be an amalgam of Ultraman and Bizarro (which he was). While I probably would have just preferred a 1-1 Bizarro adaptation instead, I did like what they ultimately did with him and I thought his suit design was pretty cool (both the black suit and the Boravia suit). I think we’ll eventually see him come back in full Bizarro form, though hopefully farther down the line and not in MoT yet.

I love Forever Evil, so I’ve always been a Crime Syndicate fan. That said, I don’t like “evil Superman” characters because they are all cheap knockoffs of my all time favorite comic book villain: Superboy Prime.

Yeah Superboy Prime is one of the better evil Supermen. Do they still call him Superboy Prime or did he finally grow up lol?

I also like Cyborg Superman in terms of evil Supermen but I wouldn’t want to see him in a movie unlesss they were doing the full Death/Reign thing (and I don’t want that for a long time, if at all). Though I do hope we see the Eradicator in some capacity (as a villain and later a hero).

Superboy Prime is showing up in the current arc going on in the main title. It’s been nice too because he was supposedly dead before. He’s also in a bit of a redemption arc.
 
This isn't MOT related but Superman alumni Brandon Routh turns 46 today.

I watched his new movie, Ick, last night. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend checking it out. Routh was great in it and it's arguably his best performance to date.

In in fact, the movie has a little bit of a James Gunn vibe. Watching it last night, I very much felt like Brandon Routh could fit in well with James Gunn's style of humor. I wouldn't mind seeing him cast in some sort of role within the DCU.

Brandon always seems like a nice guy and a class act. I don’t like his Superman movie (and I don’t think he’s good in it) but he’s definitely gotten better as an actor over time and he really did feel like Superman in that CW crisis event he was in. I wouldn’t mind seeing him show up in the DCU as an alternate universe Superman or someone else.
