Something not a lot of people notice is how Smart luthor was he made sure to use Zod’s fingerprints to access the ships none of the other scientists bothered with it
This was the scene that let me now what type of Lex Eisenberg was being. He's clearly crazy. The way he was looking down and quietly asking for access to the ship, he was thinking he might get questioned
If I were to give this movie credit, it's Lex playing the humble petitioner asking for a huge favor, and then, as the politician bends to every demand, Lex plays domination games until he's literally having the politician eating out of his hands.
Except he was only acting crazy so that if he were caught he could do the insanity plea and not end up in an actual prison, Bruce used this against Lex and sent him to Arkham at the end of the movie.
In the script he's supposed to eat the product placement himself. Zack Snyder said that Jesse improved a lot so any symbolic significance is up to interpretation.

With better writing he could have been an interesting new take as a 21st century tech mogul version of Lex similar to how Lex was once reinvented to an 80s tycoon.
Many people fail to realize is that lex was a mad scientist, before it was established he was a calm and manipulative businessman, Jesse did a good job..
Crazy detail 1:45 he cuts the finger but instead of showing the blood you get the red (blood) Jolly Rancher, which Lex then lifts into the air. Referred to in the beginning as blood in the sky bringing bad luck (not my find btw some smart guy figured that out), or a Doomsday which is set into motion with the granting Lex access to the Kryptonian ship. Just, I can't with this film..
I initially had my doubts about Jesse Eisenberg as Lex, but after rewatching the ultimate edition of this movie, I find that the younger Lex is still as cunning, clever, psychotic, and manipulative as the character from the mainstream comics has been. So Kudos to Jesse.
I like the movie. But I dunno about Lex's character. Maybe Zack has a vision that we all will see if he continues with his universe. Maybe hes gonna give Lex a character devwlopment into his character we all knew and this is just his origins.
This scene was exactly something the comic Lex would do. There were so many direct hits in this movie as well as misses. The serious faces Lex does when going to the facility to retrieve Zod is a direct hit in the character. Lex does act differently in public than in real life, it's how he fools people into thinking he's normal. But he's not so zany (he is zany but not this much) but at the same time those little moments of intimidation (Lex slamming the marble representing Earth on the containment chamber. Feeding Jolly ranchers to this guy, the time he rapped his fingers on the desk as he spoke to the senator as their conversation became increasingly tense.

@@samuelsoliday4381 exactly. He acts like injustice joker. Not even that. At least injustice joker did something to change the world view to superman. This lex is trash. His theme is good. And credit goes to Zimmer.
“You want Zod’s body?” “Okay.” I don’t get why Jesse Eisenberg gets so much hate. I personally love the younger, more psychotic, however just as smart iteration.
But its not Lex Luthor at all and they butchered that character, Jesse Eisenberg wouldve been an incredible riddler for a Batman movie or some other character like that that would fit his behavior in pretty much all his roles, but not Lex
I remember when I first watched the Nostalgia Critic's clipless review of the movie (I never saw it in theaters), I thought the part where "Luthor" shoved a cherry Jolly Rancher into the government official's mouth was something he added in as a joke. But nope, this was something they actually put in the movie.
1:05 the reason Lex says "okay" is because when he said "the dead alien", he was intentionally leaving it ambiguous as to who he was referring to. He would've loved Superman's dead body.
People forget that this is not Lex Luthor. This is his son, the movie subtly references this so of course it's going to be a different take on the villain.
They clearly intended this to be their Lex, regardless of what he calls himself. Perhaps they were going to bring his father into the fold, perhaps not. The way i see it, if Lex Sr. does become a thing, it will be after Flashpoint.
@@DaxVanStreich This is very Luthor, Luthor started as a mad scientist styled villain and only became the corporate magnificent bastard type after crisis on infinite earths, this (much like birthright) blends the two Luthor's together to render out an unstable but brilliant, ruthless mad scientist businessman.
I still think the problem of this movie was pacing. Snyder is a good director in terms of cinematography, but his pacing is just weird and off very often with general audience.
This is the comic accurate version. The character itself is the same, with the same motivations (obsession with Superman because he doesn't match his outlook), he's just updated for a contemporary context. In the 21st century, the "man behind the curtain, trickster" figure of Lex would be exactly like this. Think like Mark Zuckerburg. Oh wait...
Vexcon Pro same, this movie is one of my favorites, original plot, irony, genious plan by the main villain, untrust and hate of the main characters because lex kepts them separated from the truth. A political, philosophycal and psychological journey (i specially loved the psychological part with bruce wayne post traumatic stress disorden) etc etc.
We dislike this movie because it is bad. We hate it because Snyder fanboys defend this movie as faithful to the characters and having a coherent sensical story and because DC doubled down on the tracks laid by this abortion instead of hiring competent people and rebooting.
Admit it. The Jesse Eisenberg Lex is the most evil of them all. The fact that he wears t-shirts with blazers and forces the worst Jolly Rancher flavor into the mouths of unsuspecting victims with his unwashed hands demonstrates pure unbridled malevolence that no other version in Lex Luthor’s entire publication history could match. Superman: Red Son? Clancy Brown? Injustice? President Lex? All inferior. Kneel to Eisenberg!
hes like a kid despite being very much unlike one like having a ‘wishlist’ and looking down while asking for stuff and taking out candy that he didnt like out from the bowl and trying to get away with asking for zods body without being asked why just saying ‘okay’ as if hes accepting instead of asking its like a bad behaved kid trying not to get in trouble
WB really interfered with Snyder by forcing him to cast all these Oscar caliber actors it took away what he really wanted to do hopefully Gunn has no leash on him
And that’s probably for the better. Cause what we got was a desperate attempt to catch up to Marvel by cramming all of these unnecessary subplots and the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was absolutely garbage. And don’t bring up the “ItS fROm BiRThRiGht” excuse cause nowhere in the film is he actually even act like this from what he was famously known for. A cold, calculating and methodical villain. Not a high school nerd who’s trying so hard to be a mad scientist.
Th-the Jolly Rancher thing actually happened? I was watching Nostalgia Critic do a review for this movie so I thought the Jolly Rancher thing was something that they came up with because of Eisenberg playing Luthor. I didn't know it was real!
It's when you understand this intellectual ivy league Lex Luthor with Silicon Valley trust fund Synder is going with, then you'll know why he choose this version on the brainy psychotic villain 👍
Did anyone else notice that at 0:09 their were only blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers and only 1 green apple (I wish my bag of Jolly Ranchers would be like that) And at 1:05 their were 3 green apples 2 blue raspberries and 1 grape. Lex must have 2 bowls of Jolly Ranchers. Lex: I love Jolly Ranchers, They're so good! Aren't you my babies? Yes your so delicious! Superman: Hey Luthor, can I have a Jolly Rancher? Lex: NO THEY'RE ALL MINE, I LOVE JOLLY RANCHERS!!! Superman: FINE! I'll just have a lifesaver then. Their better anyway... They save lives... Just like me!
@@Highline_29_Designs It is the uncanny valley of artificial flavors. It tastes nothing like real cherries and has an awful overwhelming chemical flavor which once you get past tastes more like almonds or paint thinner.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Well really none of them actually taste like what their supposed to taste like but if you don't like cherry that's cool. My favorite is actually blue raspberry and I also like strawberry but that's hard to find also grape is pretty good. I don't know if you've already had it before but pineapple taste like medicine or chemicals or something and I love real pineapples.
@@Highline_29_Designs Blue Raspberry is my second favorite after Watermelon. I remember it was controversial when that was introduced and Lime was replaced by Sour Green Apple. I haven't had Pineapple candy in a long time. The other flavors taste like exaggerated and concentrated versions of the fruits they are based on. Cherry Flavor tastes nothing like cherries. Lex Luthor is truly demented and evil by taking his unwashed hands to force in the nastiest Jolly Rancher flavor into the mouths of his victims.

It's when you understand this intellectual ivy league Lex Luthor with Silicon Valley trust fund Synder is going with, then you'll know why he choose this version on the brainy psychotic villain 👍
Stupid people got so triggered by, "It's cherry" 😂
Lex was such a great villain
100% accurate to comics

1:48 this is not weird. Lex is just big fan Japanese horror movie ,,One Missed Call". By the way I can recommend it because this is a very good movie.
Tao Okamoto is gorgeous
this actor would have been a great joker
There is a box in his hand, thats a bail bondsman and oil company working together... humm'
I laughed at this part 1:54
I would like to see him as joker
Best scene in the movie.
Trash movie bro you crazy
The movie is filmed in Chicago
The worst product placement ever
I don't hate the idea of a new interpretations of characters, but I do think they should've dialed lex a bit back.
Wait, this was actually a scene in the movie?
I thought it was just a Nostalgia Critic joke.
What?
Eisenlex ftw

Did anyone else notice that at 0:09 their were only blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers and only 1 green apple (I wish my bag of Jolly Ranchers would be like that) And at 1:05 their were 3 green apples 2 blue raspberries and 1 grape. Lex must have 2 bowls of Jolly Ranchers.
Lex: I love Jolly Ranchers, They're so good! Aren't you my babies? Yes your so delicious!
Superman: Hey Luthor, can I have a Jolly Rancher?
Lex: NO THEY'RE ALL MINE, I LOVE JOLLY RANCHERS!!!
Superman: FINE! I'll just have a lifesaver then. Their better anyway... They save lives... Just like me!
DC Comics Racing My ideal bag would be made up mostly of watermelon and blue raspberry and absolutely no cherry.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Why don't you like cherry?
@@Highline_29_Designs It is the uncanny valley of artificial flavors. It tastes nothing like real cherries and has an awful overwhelming chemical flavor which once you get past tastes more like almonds or paint thinner.
@@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive Well really none of them actually taste like what their supposed to taste like but if you don't like cherry that's cool.
My favorite is actually blue raspberry and I also like strawberry but that's hard to find also grape is pretty good.
I don't know if you've already had it before but pineapple taste like medicine or chemicals or something and I love real pineapples.
@@Highline_29_Designs Blue Raspberry is my second favorite after Watermelon. I remember it was controversial when that was introduced and Lime was replaced by Sour Green Apple.
I haven't had Pineapple candy in a long time.
The other flavors taste like exaggerated and concentrated versions of the fruits they are based on. Cherry Flavor tastes nothing like cherries.
Lex Luthor is truly demented and evil by taking his unwashed hands to force in the nastiest Jolly Rancher flavor into the mouths of his victims.
It's such a delicious way to "seal the deal" for Lex to lick his fingers after pushing the Cherry Jolly Rancher into his mouth!
It was at this moment I knew this movie was going to be shit
His Lex was inspired by the "Superman:Rebirth Comics"
@@juanm.3840 Which apparently is a shitty version of Lex
@@atrholiday2889 nope, u just can't accept anything beyond what u can comprehend, u would want Kevin spacey kinda guy which is a routine
@@srikanthsv79 this version of Lex is just quirky and not intimidating at all. It’s pathetic
@@atrholiday2889 close to birthright comics
cherry is the best jolly rancher
His outfit is casual modern rich guy.
Isn’t the old guy just a senator?
Opening To Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice 2016 DVD
Worst. Product. Placement. Ever.
Jolly Ranchers is to this movie what Jell-O is to Jurassic Park
I low key kinda want that candy.
I'm afraid of Jolly Ranchers now
By the way, Wonder Woman’s in this movie.
Wonder Woman: Hello
nice nostalgia critic reference
