Eisenberg as Luthor is one of the all time worst casting decisions in movie history. A fricking catastrophe. Added to it is the absolute pure shite dialogue given to the character. Really the worst interpretation of a great villain possible.

The part where Batman was about to kill Superman and he said "they are going to kill Martha" and then he stopped is where it lost me.

The thing is I bet Snyder thought that moment was pure fricking genius. I think he was shocked when people thought it was weak. It's so planted and shallow.

Snyder makes a move of moments with no scenes and nothing to tie them together. He never pays any attention to anything outside what is happening in the exact moment of the movie.

I'm going to go find that awesome video someone posted

What I think is there was actually a competent writer/producer in the room who was sick of Snyder's and Goyer's shite, when they hit a road block on why Batman would spare Superman, he sarcastically says "Say Martha since they have the same mother's name". And Snyder and Goyet were too dumb understand that they were being ridiculed and ran with it. Really, it would be the first thought that came to my head being a smart arse, but I know it's the dumbest idea ever, when Snyder would think it was brilliant.

The casting was absurdly bad, but I never thought Luthor was a great villain. Superman has never had great villains, at least great villains that casual fans would be aware of. Luthor seems more like a Batman level villain. He's joker without the zaniness. Kingpin without the size and style.

Eisenberg as Luthor is one of the things that made me lose interest in seeing this movie. I guess Hollywood likes the idea of young tech entrepreneurs being evil geniuses or something to appeal to the kids of today. I've always liked the idea of Lex from the Unauthorized Biography, in which he's an older, bitter self-made man.
