Who's Your Favorite Version of Lex Luthor ?

[The Caped Knight]

I dont see Begins in there do I?

I just said 2 posts ago while I think Dini/Timm is the most faithful adaptation that doesnt mean it's the most popular (like you said yourself) getting 34 people in a poll on the net is a small snapshot to even credit your argument. But you never ponder that you just use search button desperatly to find old polls from 2 years ago. I even said that back 03-04 people were sweating the Dini/Timm era more, now with BB and the re-release of the old movies on DVD opinon swings. Movies are gonna last longer
Look at some of the recent polls

I too, liked BEGINS better than MOTP, But you also said 89 would stand a chance aganist MOTP. Which is not true .

How can people vote for Rosenbaum without voting for Shea who played Lex in nearly the same way back on Lois and Clark?

So you think that a poll that was posted over 2 years ago where only 34 people voted is a legitamite argument to your pont?
This is my point about how weak your arguments are, you just throw random info from links without even constructing an argument around or spinning it to prove your point that the masses think MOTP has a legitamite chance in any scholared debate about the legacy of bat-films.

Michael Rosenbaum.

As much as I liked Brown's Lex, his voice is fantastic, as a character I love Rosie's more than anyone else's version.

His Lex is very complicated and he plays the layers so well...

You only get one choice.

I'm an SR fan- but, have to go with Rosenbaum by far. Not only is he a phenomenal actor (Spacey is too), he is also a great Lex Luthor. Spacey, actually perhaps was inspired by some of Rosenbaum's evil Lex antics- seriously, while watching one of the SR Lex scenes all I could think was "Rosenbaum definitely inspired that movement and jump in voice".

Yeah uh... Kevin Spacey could learn from Rosenbaum

Btw some of you who haven't should check out Lex in season one of Lois and Clark. Essentially Rosenbaum plays him the same

Sad but true.

Actually, I'm sure he was just DIRECTED to be lamer than Rosenbaum.

yes, However I as many as many other superman fans plus DC comics, Think The Animated version were much more true to the mythology than the live action ones , as well as The animated version had better writters.

I believe the animated version have a right to be including because their just as good as the live action version, and in someways even better.

For exmaple before "Batman Begins", to many fans Kevin Conroy is known as THE BEST BATMAN ever. due to BTAS, & JL / JLU. Now with Bale badas preformance in Begins, he's earned a place among fans as The Best BATMAN, howver he still shares that spot with Conroy .

Yeah but an animated series is pretty much a comic book in motion. Where as live action shows or movies try to convey a more realistic approach to the stories told in comics. (at least as realistic as you can get being that it's about a fictional character who is a flying alien.)

That's kind of debatable. I mean, the Superman movies are far less realistic than the animated show, which is also true for Batman thanks to those first four films. Still, you have a point in regards to something like, say, X-Men or Spider-Man.

Shea for me. He was irrepressibly evil, psychotic, and charismatic. The first season finale of L&C cemented me as a fan of the show...and I was only ten years old then.

Truth, so **** all these voice actors lol

 

[Migu-EL]

Yeah, I don't get how people can compare voice actors to live action actors. It would be like sayin the actor who did the voice for sponge bob is a better actor then Denzel Washington.

Spongebob doesn't have any subtlety to his performance or range of emotion, so there's not really any comparison.

[Super_Ludacris]

Sad part most of these dudes are fanboys of fictional fantasy titles who's major adaptation was cartoons so they know no better....(transformers)

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

They've all got their advantages.

My three favorite are Clancy, Spacey, and Rosenbaum, probably in that order...

 

[Happenstance]

My favourites are definately Shea and Rosenbaum, I think theyve done the best job as Lex.

 

[Bruce_Wayne29]

Vote for Rosey on the Superman homepage as well...

 

[Spidey-Fan700]

Gene Hackman was excellent as Lex Luthor. At times, he could be a little over the top, but it still was good. Michael Rosenbaum just has that badass attitude that I feel that Hackman lacked playing Luthor, IMHO.

So, I voted for the Flash.


He-Ant... the most powerful Skeletor fan in the universe.

 

[Cmill216]

Loved Spacey in Returns, so I voted for him.

However, my primary vote goes to Rosenbaum. The man brings such a suaveness to the character and he plays that manipulative side so marvously. And yet as we've moved through season 5 and now head into season 6, we're beginning to see that Mike can also play that sinister side (it was really first noticeable to me in Aqua, of all episodes).
