jesse einseberg is not playing lex luthor but he is playing his son.

there is something wrong with the link its not working.

He is Lex Luthor.

Just because they call him Junior, doesnt mean is going to be a new character.

He is going to serve the same purpose.

His father was always called Alexander in the comics, so he's still playing the actual Lex Luthor.

...So it's Lex Luthor? Ok

Let me know when they get someone who doesn't look like a bitch to play the part of Lex.

@lone_wolf_and_cub: i thought i was the only one who thought that way. i never bought into this whole jesse esigenberg thing pulling off lex. There were people defending him saying jessie is doing his own version of lex. You cant be lex luthor when the version you are doing is nothing like the character lex luthor. Just like you cant replace batman with a blonde skinny guy who talks like a girl and say its batman.

He's still lex

Isn't lex a junior though?

he is playing his son its confirmed.

But likewise neither has gene hackman or kevin spacey. This a different version of lex, minus the camp, and with creative liberties. Too soon to say if it's bad or good but at least it will be different.

In comics, was Luthors father an immigrant from East Germany?
