Batman v Superman’s Lex Luthor has been the subject of much debate. Ignoring the negative reaction to Jesse Eisenberg’s casting, which was to be expected, the wide world of fandom has been much obsessed with his hair. Will Eisenberg’s Lex start out bald? Will he ‘grow’ into his baldness? Will Superman’s righteous truth fighting crusade trigger Lex’s male pattern baldness?

Well, our DC spies on set spotted the misanthropic thespian wandering the set, describing the new Lex’s do as a very curly, blondish get-up. Photos have been hard to come by, but we’ve finally landed our hands on one. Admittedly, this isn’t an actual set photo, but our sources verify that this is the hairstyle Eisenberg sports in Batman vs Superman.



Whoa… curly haired Lex Luthor. Not exactly something I expected, but not really bizarre either. Remember, director Zack Snyder is presenting us a very “Elseworlds” version of our classic characters. Batman is a much older, hardened veteran. Superman is a reckless hero-in-youth. Wonder Woman is… well, we’ll have to see what Wonder Woman amounts to, but I imagine she’ll convey a much different persona than her comic book counterpart. You shouldn’t have to stretch your imagination too far to understand the new direction for Lex. He’s a tech friendly, modern billionaire. He’s got cool gadgets and cool friends, and he really resents the everyman archetype that Superman exhibits. Besides the nifty powers, Superman is nothing more than a good ol’ Kansas farmboy trying to save the world, one damsel in distress at a time.
