The Greatest Criminal Mind of Our Time: Nicholas Hoult IS Lex Luthor

[GreenKToo]

We need a scene of Lex staring out his Lex Corp tower penthouse window, with a drink in hand. He's king of the world.

It's night time, and Lightning flashes off in the distance.

Lex takes a drink, Looking out over "his" city.

Lightning flashes again, but this time it's illuminating a hovering figure just outside the window.
It's superman. He's just staring at Lex.

Lex walks up closer and stares back just as intensely for a long moment.

Finally, Lex throws his glass of whiskey at the window, the glass holding the drink shatters, and whiskey flows down the window, distorting the image of superman. He now looks bizarre through the flowing liquid.

Superman just shakes his head sadly and Flys off.
Lex smirks.

“I get behind the wheel and I feel nothing but pity for Superman. He can fly but can he drive? I don’t think he can. If he could, he wouldn’t be flying all the time. Can he even afford a car?? He doesn’t get paid to put out the fires that I start— that get started. The fires that get started, spontaneously I would imagine. Certainly not by me or my employees. Next question, please.”

'Wait, Superman is Clark Kent?... but that means... he CAN drive!'

[Deck Rickard]

I think so too

Lex needs to come off as the smartest person in a room full of billionaires and scientists. Like, when he speaks, they all stop talking and listen.
But also so arrogant that you love to hate him.

That's something I'm super interested in, the film already has so many brilliant minded characters so it will be interesting how they balance the knowledge power.

This is strictly me, but I want him to be on the same level as Tony stark intellectually, but without the quips, and an attitude of a rock star, ie, full of a "I don't give a fuq" attitude.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I think when we see this Lex publicly, he needs to be charming, charismatic, and firm with a touch of arrogance. Behind closed doors he needs to be a massively arrogant, dismissive, always 10 steps ahead, viper of a man.

How about his intellect next to Mr Terrific, considering he is meant to be a genius also? And how smart should Clark be?

Should it be something along the likes Bruce Banner, Stark and Peter Parker? I can't remember who else is in The Avengers that is super smart.

 

[GreenKToo]

For me, Lex has no superpower, so his power is his intellect. He should be able to hold his own against the smartest people in the DCU, including Bruce Wayne and Mr terrific.

I've said it numerous times, but I'd like to see him create cures for cancer, engines that run on water, etc, all out of pure boredom, and just because he can.
He locks all ideas and inventions away and saves em for a rainy day.

I have no idea how Gunn wants this Lex portrayed.
For all I know he will be like the last couple of ones we have seen, ie, goofy with quips, but I really hope not.
