I'd love to see some John Shea Lex energy personally.
Give me a Lex that can stare down a cobra and win![]()
It really bugs me how often LnC gets left out of conversations and comparisons, but especially when talking about Lex portrayals, because I really do think that version was miles above the rest, alongside Rosenbaum.![]()
I think I remember reading that Rosenbaum himself said that Shea was his main inspiration for the way he played Lex.
Ugh agree so hard. Why do so few people see this?John Shea remains the closest a live-action Lex has gotten to the one I’d like to see. A smooth, brilliant, Machiavellian self-made billionaire, a charming ladies’ man that was truly Metropolis’s favorite son until Supes showed up. That was a Lex you could buy getting elected President of the United States.
I can just tell he's thinking about cupcakes there.

Rumor from where?Rumor has it Lex will have a reveal trailer in the same tone as GotG where Billie Eilish's Bad Guy plays. Nicholas plays him as over the top eccentric in public while being menacing behind closed doors.

Lex is a public figure. He has a full social docket, so he’s not just stuck in his office the whole time. And eventually, he’s the President of the United States. He’s not a “car chase” kind of villain. He’s a Machiavellian manipulator who uses and abuses his power at every turn. It’s a weird suggestion to me that these types of business tycoons aren’t “interesting” when we literally just had Succession go out as one of the greatest shows of all time and it was ALL just that all the time.I have read the comics but it's been a long time but what does Lex do other than sit in an office or lab creating things? The Joker gets out there and is up to no good but I feel Lex is often controlling things from his office, I can't imagine him in car chase or something of the sorts. I know there's Lex in the armoured suit but putting that to the side... What does Lex do that would make him interesting or Is it purely the writing of a business man in an office pulling the strings make him interesting?

I remember someone suggesting that this Lex will eventually get Mercy as his lieutenant after Eve and Otis screw up and he finally learns his lesson that he can’t do everything alone, I’d like that.I hope Otis meets a quick end at Luthor's instruction after getting his name wrong and only ordering 39 cakes.
This Luthor mustn't accept mediocrity whatsoever.
