        Yeah I stopped when Lane got there. Up until that point I was a staunch advocate of the show. I felt the finale and premiere of some of those seasons were some of the best TV I’ve seen.

        I mean I haven’t watched it since university, not sure if it holds up, but I remember it being amazing.

    Michael Rosenbaum could be absolutely terrifying when he wanted. Great Lex imo

    The Eisenberg one is kind of misleading because he only becomes bald at the end of the movie, and also the image says “Superman Vs Batman” instead of the actual film title of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”

      It’s also misleading because, while his character name was in fact Lex Luthor, he completely sucked balls and bore no resemblance to any reputable version of the character. And I should point out I do not dislike the actor, but that version just… failed in every way a character can fail.

        IIRC they retconned it or something by saying he was actually Lex Jr., as if that makes it better. I really do dislike when adaptations don’t even try to bear semblance to the source material and the studio just slaps the recognizable name on them for marketing (ex. the MCU’s Taskmaster or their original attempt at The Mandarin)

          Wasn’t the whole point of The Mandarin in IM3 that he was a fake?

              I know this comment is old but ACTCHUALLY if you search for the Marvel short “All Hail the King” that is where they first set up that there was a real Mandarin who was not happy about his name being taken. That came out 1 year after Iron Man 3, so the Shang Chi thing was always the plan.

    I’m confused by The Adventures of Superboy. Google shows a 1961 BW TV show but the picture is in color and looks like late 60’s.

    There was a 1988 Superboy.

    Edit: this is the 1988 Lex. It should be after the Gene Hackman Lex from 1978.

      That is definitely Lex from the 1988 Superboy.

      He looks a lot like him yeah. So I had to look it up, it’s Jon Cryer… the other guy from Two and a Half Men.

    SVB: is the most comic bookie.

    Return of Superman: is the most balanced.

    Titans: is the best looking / most like a real life CEO.

    Super man movie: is the most Iconic.
