    Poll BvS Lex Luthor: Old or New School? (27 votes)

    Classic Suit 41%
    Steve Jobs Sweats 30%
    50/50 30%

    A fun little question guys. There has been much speculation and words from the actor himself as to how Lex will be. Many said he was gonna be a new age billionaire and be sorta of like Steve Jobs. And when the picture of him came out, he wasn't wearing a suit, but sweats (or whatever you call that type of sweater). Do you think he's gonna go classic, or go for the new age Billionaire like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg?

    Honestly, he looks a lot better in the suit than I thought. And don't get on me for calling the BvS Pic "New Hotness", that's just a line from Men in Black.

    He'll wear a suit when it calls for it.

    He already looks too young so the suit will give him more status.

    Also Lex just looks perfect in suits since they are the arrogants' way of dressing.

    In the above pic he looks like Apollo from Galactica :P

    Think about it: Byrne era Luthor was your 80s Evil Daddy Warbucks fat cat, with suit, tie, and his Sunday Best.

    Most CEOs nowadays are young and will show up to meetings in blue jeans

    Lol, no. The average age of a CEO today is around 50.

    That picture of him holding a flaming newspaper, sounds like something I would come up with. The dude has great comedic chops,

    That pic is excellent, and so Lex. Unsubtle connotations of his hate for literally everything to do with Superman's character. That should be translated into a comic cover in some way.

    Lex wouldn't be caught dead looking like a slob or underdressed. He's gonna suit up.

    I've never been a fan of Lex but I think he deserves a hell of a lot better than Eisenberg to portray him.

    I don't know what they are going for, but as long as he doesn't act like the Lex from the original movies, and eventually makes a warsuit, I'll be happy.

    Ι won't disagree. I feel Eisenberg doesn't command the respect Luthor should but I guess we will have to wait.

    Hmmmmm.....luckily we know he'll lose his hair. I'm not feeling this pic but I still think Jesse Eisenberg will be great as Lex. You'll always have those fans who stubbornly latch onto "their" versions of a character, but from what Jesse has said about this movie, and given the talent writing the script, i'm sure he'll knock the role outta the park

    I honestly dig the hip Billionaire Lex look. But I do hope that he's also going to go through a journey to become Lex Flipping Luthor. He seems to be taking things a bit lightly in the trailer but when he goes bald he looks super cereal. The boy must turn into a man if he's going to run for President

    I dont know, it's like the joker Robin theory for me. I won't know how I feel about his lex luthor until I see the movie. Until then I'm safe in saying that the lex will be very differnt from what we have seen before.

    He'll start off with the new school look.

    But once he looses his hair and blames superman (for whatever idiotic reason), he'll start wearing suits.
