Batman v Superman (2016)

[WeaponTheory]

Acting mannerisms. I'm not comparing characters.

I don't know how else to put it, all I can say is that his mannerism was similar to the Joker from that Dark Knight film.
When I think of Lex Luthor or whateverthefuck version this is, I don't think of genius with a childlike manner. Him and his candy. The way he was acting with the timer before he aboard the aircraft. And my favorite classic WHAT DOES THE LEX SAY? 
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding.......ding ding ding ding ding ding"


Interesting enough, if ain't Joker that others are comparing him to, it's The Riddler.

You really didn't get that feeling?

Riddler is a more fair comparison, especially if we're talking about certain adaptations (even in the 60's show, he was kind of like that). But no, I didn't get the Ledger-Joker vibe at all the two times I watched the movie. Idunno if that's even something others considered when watching it (barely read or watched reviews because I don't really care enough).

I still think they're going to pull the rug from under people and reveal that's Alexander Luthor and the real Lex is being saved for a future installment because, again, he was like Alexander. That's just tinfoil-tier thinking as of right now, though.

Yeah that movie sucks!

...wanna elaborate on that?

I watched the Ultimate Edition, and it made me realize I have no idea what the extra scenes were. I only watched the original twice, now it all kinda blends together.

The guy on the wheelchair said "fuck" in one scene . . . that was probably new.

Anyone else see the Deathstroke scene Affleck showed for his new Batman movie? He looks fucking perfect (unlike . . . you know.) and Joe Manganiello (confirmed for the role) looks a lot like him too.

After seeing Argo, I have faith that Affleck knows a thing or two about directing and makes me that much more excited for the solo Batman film. Rumor has it that Arkham Asylum itself will be the set piece, but we'll see.

What about the Batman fight scenes where people bitched about similar to how people bitched about what Superman did to Zod?
"T-t-that's not muh Batman, Batman doesn't do THAT! Fuk u Synder!"
Was that new in the Ultimate? I never seen the original.

A lot of people saying that the Ultimate version makes more sense than the original, which is scary to me to read from people. I never came across something like that before about a movie.

Yeah, I'm sure "Fuck you" was not in the original. Also Lex talking to Steppenwolf (probably fucking up the name) is new I think, cause my friend never saw that scene in the original, I just know that it WAS supposed to be post-credits but "nah we ain't Marvels".

About our Lex Joker Heath Luthor talk. So you are implying that Alexander Luthor has the same mannerisms as Heath Ledger Joker?
I mean, I admit, I never knew of Alexander Luthor to begin with let alone how he acts.
So if he acts like that in the comics, then fine. But I gotta read this shit for myself, because everyone (including me) and their mother is calling Jesse a hack for his role. There are a few people I came across saying that it's Alexander, but they never said why.

Seeing as how I already disagreed with you when you say he acts like Heath Joker, no.

Everything!  The plot, the pacing, and Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor is terrible.  I had high hopes for this movie but as it turns out, I was disappointed with it.
