Kevin Smith recently dished on Lex Luthor's evil, evil plan to turn the city of Metropolis against Superman in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." In his latest Fat Man on Batman podcast, Smith said that Lex (played by Jesse Eisenberg) will use the death and destruction that took place in "Man of Steel" when Superman was fighting Zod, against the superhero.
"I guess it's all integral to their next plot," Smith said. "Like the word is Lex is very like, 'We can't trust this Superman, because look what he did to our city.'"
It's not clear where Smith got his insider information from but he does have an excellent track record when it comes to DC Comics movies. It was previously revealed by Batman-News that Eisenberg's Lex will be completely different than what fans are used to seeing.
Reportedly the character won't have his signature bald head and will instead sport dirty blonde curls in "Dawn of Justice."
"It's not Eisenberg's typical curly look - it's a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it's dirty blonde," a source told the site. "Eisenberg's Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day. I'm told that the scenes shot take place towards the beginning of the movie...so maybe there's still a chance that Lex Luthor could show up bald by the end? We'll have to wait and see."
The source also said that Lex's new look compliments the "young, edgy" vibe at LexCorp. According to Batman-News, the company will be full of well-dressed, preppy employees.
"A source close to 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' has informed me that production is heading to LexCorp next week," Batman-News previously wrote. "In Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' sequel, LexCorp is described as a young, edgy company. Think of it as a .com or Google type workplace. It's a smart company with a stylish vibe, a youthful clash of rock and roll, preppy, and nerdy employees. Hipsters!"
