    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Maybe if he didn't just copy Ledger's Joker and behaved anything like Lex Luthor he'd have been better received.

Hollywood needs to wake up and let Billy Zane play Lex Luthor like he was always meant to.

Or Mark Strong, even Stanley Tucci would be awesome

Isn't Lex Luthor is supposed to be really smart?

I'd be fine with Luthor turning into a Justin Hammer type. Any of the "billionaire genius" types in comics, really.

Bald Jordan Peterson? You have to admit he'd be loathsome...

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

Nah they really need Michael Cera

Zane would be amazing but I gotta say I would love to see a Stephen Tobolowsky Lex Luthor
