    I loved this version of Lex because not once in the entire movie does he show true fear. The fact that he's essentially a scrawny, little man with no physical capabilities and never backs down from anyone, not even Superman, is a telling sign of his character. He's a disturbed young man with a God complex and he thinks so highly of himself that virtually nothing can shake him. Great depiction, in my opinion.

    This scene is great. Lex was abused by his father as a child and no divine intervention came to same him, so he believed God cannot exist. He wants to prove Superman is a fraud. If Superman dies, then he can't be a god because gods cannot die. If Superman kills a man like Batman then that proves he isn't as good as people believe. Either way Lex wins.

      On an aside: He uses the typical flawed logic. "If God is all power, then He can't be all good. If God is all good, then He can't be all powerful".
      The flawed logic is assuming this temporary life is all there is, then uses that faulty assumption to judge what is "good or evil".
      If someone has everything anyone could ever ask for in this life, including perfect health, but ends up in heII, that combined lifeline is evil, not "good" that we'd call it.
      If someone goes through the greatest suffering here, but ends up in eternal life of no more suffering, disease and death, then that combined lifeline is good, not the "evil" we'd call it. Even more-so if God noticed that the suffering contributed to a person's repentance / eternal life, and stopping it would lead to them never repenting and ending up in heII.
      I encourage people to re-read the gospels, then the rest, and forget what any religion / church / denomination has told you they say - almost no churches are following God / Jesus Christ, just individual ones - far less than 1%. And you'd have to visit it to find out (starting with which denominations are clearly not, while some might be).

      Ephesians 2:8-9 *_"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."_*
      Titus 3:5-6 *_"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"_*
      Acts 16:30-31 *_"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."_*
      Romans 10:13 *_"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."_*
      John 3:16 *_"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."_*
      James 2 talks about how many who CLAIM they are saved by faith really are not as evidenced by it not being followed up by a lifetime of works. Works are how people can tell if a person is realIy saved (living faith) or just kidding themselves by falsely claiming it (dead faith).

It makes me wonder what schemes he'll invent in the future. I am convinced after reviewing everything he did in the ultimate edition that I would never want to be his target. He's scarier than I originally thought.

      Look, the performance was good (not great, but pretty good). The problem is that the way Lex was written is trash. I get the motivations, but they didn't translate that well to screen. If they did, there would be no argument or general confusion. My type of Lex is the one who's calm, cool, and a businessman who looks out for his fellow humans. On the inside, he's an alien-hating Machiavellian psychopath who's always 10 steps ahead.

      Exactly, Lex's abuse at the hands of his father is made explicitly clear in this scene. "Daddy's fists and abominations". I don't understand why people missed that. However, I DO agree with some critiques that the movie could've delved into his complex relationship with his father a little more in-depth. But then again...people were already complaining that the movie was "too long", so I don't know if they could've fit this in there along with everything else. I hope we do get to see more of the Luthor backstory explored in future scenes with Lex in this universe. It's a HUGE part of the reason why the Lex of "Smallville" was so successful, because we truly understood the tragedy of his father's abuse and family dysfunction that warped him into who he is.

      lets name some instances where he could have smiled but only be appropriate since him being mocked, shunned, hated by some people and talked down on by his boss and miss santos (the wife of the guy who got branded and killed in jail) all of which really don't call for a fake ass smile you can clearly see through. I've seen him smile around Lois multiple times (foreshadowing that she is his world) and after he saved that girl from the burning building (which fades after he see's people worshiping him like a god which he never wanted to be. if he did smile then people complaining about him wanting to be worshiped like a god would have rung true but since he doesn't, well there ya go.)

      ethan prendergast "Never Smiles". What a joke. A really bad joke. He smiled in MOS to a waitress, when he flew for the first time, when he met up with his mother again, a little during his interrogation, when he was talking to Swanwick about moving forward, when he had a memory of running around as a child, and when he got hired at the Daily Planet. In BVS, he smiled as he got in the tub with Lois, when he introduced himself to Bruce Wayne, when he shook Lex's hand, when he saved that girl in Mexico, when he showed some amusement for Luthor's actions as seen in this clip here, and for Lois just before he flew off to his death. And YOU try being positive when half the world hates you despite doing what you feel is right...

      +Deo Robinson Don't get me wrong I don't put it down to the guy's acting, I say it's the scripts fault, that they made the film so sad that he doesn't smile a lot. The fact u could put all the times he smiles in MOVIES in a single paragraph shows that he doesn't smile a lot. Superman isn't meant to be all doom and gloom ALL THE TIME they could of added scenes where he is doing random acts of kindness to show he is trying to prove to people he is on there side and he could of smiled then but no they put him in situations where the only face he can make is depressed, if he meant to represent a god like or jesus like figure he should probably smile more to be more likeable. Cause when he died I wasn't that bothered, when I should be like oh that guy was so kind and didn't deserve to die. I know his personality was kind and loving but u need to be able to express that on the outside as well.

    • @neonrodenson1480
      @neonrodenson1480 8 лет назад +71

      +ethan prendergast Basically, you wanted him to smile as he was performing his heroics. That's not gonna fly, dude. He's not a celebrity posing for the cameras or a magazine. He treats what he is doing seriously. Saving lives isn't a glamour job. And the script isn't to blame. It's continuing his story from MOS. He was told as a child that he'll be a controversial figure in the world and that he'll have to make some tough choices in life; both of which happens in this film. His being a nice guy who saves the day and does the right thing is overshadowed by his status as an alien, a man with great power, and the fact that alot of people dislike him for the events of MOS. Did you really think people were just going to immediately and generally accept him because he saved the world? For this day and age, it doesn't work like that...

    The theme of the film, power has bias, but it went over everyone's heads. The fans, the critics. Lex is pissed that the being he views as god has priorities. While Superman is willing to intervene in a Civil War (the one Lex orchestrated to make Superman look bad), he didn't intervene when he was physically and sexually abused by his father. Superman's facing the consequences of not being able to save everyone, the consequences of not being omnipotent. So to prove to the world that god has bias, he set up the climatic fight between Superman and Batman. He wanted to prove that Superman was willing to kill Batman to save his mother, who the world views as some random woman. This would embarrass Superman by making him go against his morals, and it will prove he's a threat because who else would he be willing to kill. Who would he be willing to sacrifice in order to save someone he values more? This is the meaning of this film, Superman's depression, Lex's plan, Batman's vengeance all revolve around the fact that Superman can't save everyone. And Superman's alone as no one can understand his dilemma. This movie's a fucking masterpiece.

      Agreed, good job. It's just that contrary to popular belief superman is NOT A DEITY!!! yes he has powers but he is NOT omnipotent and it's natural that he can't save everyone. What he is really facing is the infinite greed of man combined with lex's God complex. People demand the impossible from him. Bruce has every right to be suspicious of superman for fairly obvious reasons but they should really give the guy a break. I don't know why everyone thinks that superman is a deity, why because he can fly, has super strength and stamina, has heat vision and cold breath, all of the above maybe? How does that make him Divine? He is simply Powerful and despite his origin he was raised like humans he is taught the way of humans and he is ( in a way) a human with hopes, dreams and feelings. Basically he is just like you and me so imagine the world expecting YOU to save everyone to be perfect and to be there ALWAYS. Now imagine what that feels combined with the hate and ungratefulness of some people. It must be inhumane.....

    What I like of this universe is the fact that when they introduce a comic book character, they make it different from the comics, so we (the comic book readers) could not expect what he is going to do, and they can develop the character in nexts films.
    I believe that's the reason why they changed Lex's personality (and the he becomes the cold, evil businessman), why they made Batman a cold hopeless hero (and then he becomes the hero that Gotham deserves), and why Superman is so serious and sad (and the he becomes that symbol of hope).

You know, the person who can wipe anyone off with his finger if he wanted. Yet Lex is not intimidated at all. Only other person that's never feared Superman is Batman. Lex mocks Clark, makes fun of him, and shows him pictures of his mother tortured straight to Clark's face. This is a brilliant scene in general but this makes it more powerful. Just imagine if you were in the situation you'd be ready to kill that guy in an instant but since he's Superman, Lex knows he won't kill him. He's studied him inside out. Lex Luthor never feared Superman. And this shows it. And I really love that about this scene.

      I get the motivations, I just don't feel that they're strong enough. Yes, Lex is supposed to HATE Superman, but the reason he does technically doesn't have anything to do with him. If they included scenes of Lex witnessing the Zod fight and destruction of Metropolis, then it would've made more sense.

He could’ve broken Lex in a ,Illinois pieces and searched all of Metropolis and Gotham for Martha in minutes but he didn’t let his anger get the better of him. He wanted to save the woman he is his mother. Most ppl would of went off and killed ppl but this is why Superman is the GOAT. He humbled himself and went to seek help from Bruce not kill him even when his mother is in danger. Like yo BvS and JL are great films.
