Why does Lex Luthor act like the Joker? I don't read comic

Zack Snyder is a dumb jock who thinks an eccentric, effeminate intellectual is the perfect villain.

Max Landis or Movie Bob please get out.

>>80190139

He doesn't. Not all well written villains are The Joker you fucking pleb.

>>80190139
The needed a serviceable villain and everything supes comes in contact with is as shit as him

why does supes say "save Martha"

like wtf shouldn't he have said "save my mom/mother"

wouldn't that be the more natural thing to say and so he knows who the fuck he wants him to save?

>>80190139
Bad Casting. They did the same thing with Joker who is one of the most iconic if not the most iconic villain in capeshit. They tried to do artistic interpretations that came off cringey and their Cinematic Universe is now stuck with these two fags.

>>80190139
The fact is that every incarnation of Lex is at heart an insecure nerd who wants to control everything. Snyder just made it more literal.

you'd expect it would work because Batman too lost his parents and it's kinda dumb that this sympathy only develops because their moms had the same first name but it would have robbed us of that hilarious WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME

>lex luthor acts like the joker
>batman, the greatest detective, is easily duped by simple notes does not even investigate where notes come from

The maggots behind the movie are idiots.

>>80190601
because Batman didnt know who his mom was, saying saving my mom makes him think of aliens that want nothing, Martha is at least a name to work with

>>80190696
but he knows where the notes came from, he thinks they were sent to him by the disgruntled employee


also at no point does Luthor act like the joker

>>80190844
>batman, greatest detective
>thinks he knows
>does not investigate
>greatest detective

muh goats are idiots

>laughing joking giggling not act like a joker

bvs lex is more joker than jared leto joker

Damn, i just forgot how bad this movie was

>>80190189

This Lex is honest to God based on Max Landis. I'm not joking, I watched an interview where someone asked Landis point blank if he was aware Jesse Eisenberg's performance was spoofing him

>>80190649
TFW too intelligent

>>80190649
Zane? Im cia

>>80190229
He comes off as hysteric schizophrenic as opposed to the genius antisocial meglamaniac he is

I liked him, he's a deeply insecure would-be conqueror who tries to project power by invading people's personal space. Superman's existence throws into relief just how petty and small he really is and he can't stand it.

You don't know what any of those words mean
>>80191196
It was based on Zuckerberg

>>80190649
Never even considered it but your right Billy would be a perfect Lex

Smart sociopath that wants to rule the world, or a guy that overreacts and talks to himself.

The difference between the joker and lex.

Wtf are you talking about
The ding was him imitating a motherbox

>>80190139
Its fairly comic accurate to Superman Birthright

>>80191740
I thought it was just the proverbial bell that can't be unrung.

>>80191740

yes, he was imitating the motherbox the way joker would imitate the motherbox not the way lex luthor would imitate the motherbox. he is acting like the joker.

>>80191768

It's the opposite, actually.

>>80192201
Have you read Superman:Birthright? How is it the opposite?

Not him but Lex in that series does not behave like a giddy child hopping about on one leg waving his arms like a televangelist in the air for one thing, he has far more self-control.

birthright lex does not act like the joker
bvs lex acts likes the joker

either you're talking about something else or you haven't read birthright or you're an autistic idiot.

Batman vs Supes Lex is the only Lex that acts like The Joker. None of the other movie Lex or the comics Lex act like The Joker.

The moron who made this movie is a baboon.
