re: Eisenberg's Luthor vs. Leto's Joker

Eisenberg's Luthor is worse, for me. I'm older, remember the classic comic books from the 70s. I thought they nailed Superman perfectly from an appearance standpoint, and Affleck wasn't bad as Batman (he's better, for example, than Keaton was, just from looks). If you go by the appearances, then Luthor should have been bald, with a menacing, brooding presence. Someone who could have pulled off the purple shirt look, and gotten away with it.

If you were to put the characters together, Luthor needs to be someone the Joker would have some respect for, and be a little wary of crossing too openly; and the Joker needs to have a wild edge to him that that would make you watch him closely, but would still have the ability to creatively solve a problem for other villains. The two should be able to meet and say "we can do business together, I like your style".

Leto does that ok, he comes off as someone a tycoon would have in the shadows to do his dirty work if it were profitable for both. But Eisenberg just comes across as someone that the Joker would shoot after a minute or two.
