The Dubstep Doomsday Device:
Still basking in the afterglow of the Kryptonian gig, aspiring Metropolis DJ Skril-lex Hoofer seeks to elevate his drops to a Kryptonian level of grime. Sifting through the wreckage from the show, he uses a blown Kryptonian subwoofer and some of Zod’s bodily fluids (you don't wanna know), to brew up the embodiment of Kryptonian dubstep; the Dubstep Doomsday Device. Unbeknownst to Skril-lex, the exact same method by which the Kryptonians destroyed their homeworld. Ignorant of the true bass-potential of his new creation, Skril-lex unleashes it onto Metropolis.
Local resident Boomerman gets the fright of his life, resolving to put a stop to Skril-lex's gig, despite buying his condo with full knowledge there was a venue nearby. Unfortunately for him, noise control stopped taking his calls years ago, so he storms down to the venue in a huff to complain in person.
Farm boy CK is back, brimming with confidence after surviving one rave, he naively makes his way to the front.
Boomerman is forced to defend himself after accidentally stumbling into the ruck pit, discovering too late that no one seems to be able to hear him, let alone care about his complaints. He really didn’t think this through. He did do the right thing by bringing a mask along, but the few times he put it on, he wasn't even wearing it properly. The damn thing was getting in the way of all the yelling. Eventually coming across his niece, who knowing what her uncle is like, pretends to have fallen victim to the concert as well.
Skril-lex eventually realises this gig probably represents an existential threat to humanity, but resolves to vibe through it anyway. A make-a-wish foundation kid is the first casualty, when his electric wheelchair overheats just before the bridge drop. Bad timing little dude!
CK, who already preloaded before the show, struggles to remain conscious after making the mistake of accepting a doob that was going around. Luckily, a more experienced veteran offers to shield him.
Just as Boomerman was losing hope of ever getting to sleep before 10pm, retired gangster, Grandpa Picard, unwittingly saves the world, when he comes out of nowhere and puts a swift end to that racket with a few bursts from his kryptonite-infused tommy gun.

this is fucking Luthor and he prob hates vigilante aholes who can ruin any future planes he has.
Does Zack Snyder hate asians? I mean, he killed Mercy, who is asian here. He mare batman kill a lot of asian in the martha rescue. And he cast a really bad asian actor to play the new Atom in his cut of the JL movie.

@@-haclong2366 I enjoy lower Decks and Discovery so cant relate
He should have played the riddler, he has that chaotic, ADHD feel to him, as lex is too control and calculating to be this
Exactly, lol. It's just too ridiculous to picture *_this_* guy running a multi-billion dollar company.
Or perhaps Mad Hatter, or hell even the X-Men villain Arcade was what I saw most in his "performance". Only plausible way to explain this was to say he had been under some kind of mind control bug and Brainiac was the real power behind the curtain. But nooooooo, they had to blow their Darkseid wad in the very next one by having one of his lesser known minions be the major threat to unite the JLA and not Darkseid himself even.
@@FunZies. Well, maybe if he inherit the company.
The riddler is too nice though afterall he didt steal 12 cakes
Jesse Eisenberg originally auditioned thinking he was going to play the Riddler. He would've been perfect! And instead he was wasted on this piece of shit!
This Lex acts more like the unhinged love child of the Joker and the Riddler, than actual Lex Luthor
*_K E X L U T H O R_*
That's an insult to the plans of Joker and Riddler.
I fucking died at Kex Luthor part lol
Poor dude didn't correct his mistake. Behold! THE CURSE OF KEX LUTHOR.
*Lex Luthor, didn’t proofread
Lex in animated media: Owns almost all of Metropolis, takes four whole seasons of animation to be put down _once,_ is voiced by Clancy fucking Brown, outsmarts Batman and Amanda Waller a few times each, spends 75 billion dollars on a fake presidential campaign just to make Superman mad, effortlessly manipulates Clark into taking more and more moral compromises and acting increasingly irrationally just by _being himself,_ talked Brainiac into merging with himself in a fusion that he holds the most control over, easily takes control of the Legion of Doom, beats Grodd twice, the second time killing him, goes beyond the Source Wall and manages to _understand_ whatever it is he saw, comprehends and masters the Anti-Life Equation and in doing so, defeats Darkseid and saves the world, _in his business suit. _
Lex in this movie: Tricks a senator into drinking pee and does everything he can to sabotage his own plan/company/life.
Haven't seen the annimations but sounds a lot smarter.
Another one that clearly have not watched BvS lol
@@darthbane3937 The DCAU is well worth watching, some of the finest Superhero media ever created.
The best DC "movie" is, and always will be, _Starcrossed._
@@ToaArcanfacts. People love marvel live action movies, but DC animated is where it's at for most adults. They are amazing.
it should also be noted that lex would never make something that was stronger than him or was beyond his control. this version of lex creates doomsday.............for what?
Might I suggest a similar analysis of Amanda Waller is warranted? Her response to the question of “What if Superman tore the roof off the White House?” involves “recruiting” a linebacker with a skin condition, a clown with a hammer, and a thief with a gimmick, but only after ensuring that their cooperation can only ever be under duress.
Funny thing is... recruiting these weaker criminals is smart move. Because you simply can not safely control someone with power like superman. I mean look at the mess with enchantres. She tried to controll being that was too strong and it backfired horibly. On other side keeping bunch of mutants, mercs and regular crazies and using them as canonfodder is something that is within her ability to manage.
I mean even when Harley Quinn escaped with Jokers help (for those few short moments), they were not ploting right away on how to get back at Waller. They were quite happy to just get away from her.
@@iglidor i do laugh at the fact she recruited harely at times. I like her as a female joker but at the end of the day shes just a gymnaist who uses a mallet or bat. Atleast deadshot can snipe you.
@@thewhitewolf58 yea. What was Harley supposed to do if it had been an evil superman instead of an angry witch? Hit the invincible kryptonion with a mallet???? 😂
@Greg Elchert Also, boomerang got his ass kicked by said non homicidal meta human.
People often forget the whole point of the Suicide Squad, they are an undercover team for undercover missions. If the team got caught by the media, the official claims by the government would be "no no, a bunch of terrorists escaped from prison and caused all this damage, we the government don't have anything to do with them."
I feel like they tried to make him a evil Tony Stark but they gave him Fetal alcohol syndrome.
This Lex Luthor was apparently an accomplished sportsman.
In the Crack Baby Athletic Association.
They basically made him a cackling, hyperactive buffoon. Now look, I may not be an expert on comic characters but Lex Luthor as I know him, is cold and calculating, restrained and at times smug. Except that one meme. But even then, it's like they saw the "WRONG!" scene and decided to make that moment his entire character
This Lex is a 1:1 of Lex of Birthright which was the Superman Origin Story of the early 2000s. The whole deal for Lex was that he was a much more narrcaistic r/iamverysmart type villain. The sad thing is more that you missed that as it's a great fit for a modern take on Lex. A Lex whose closer to Elon Musk as a villain is really interesting and BvS nailed that aspect
@@mihirlavande Am i missing something. Jesse barely bulks up for this role (dude still looks like a scrawny neurotic teenager who got bullied in gym class) yet he is considered an accomplished sportsman ?
The vibe I got was that Hack Snyder wanted Jesse to take his Social Network movie-Zuckerberg persona and fuse it with Micheal C. Hall's megalomaniac tech oligarch villain form 2009's Gamer...on bath salts.
You know, last time I saw Lex Luthor framing Superman for something, he did it right. He built affordable housing for the poor and built a secret underground power station that looked ominous. Superman naturally thought it was really shady, and got himself filmed on national television destroying homes for the poor.
Ah, Justice League Unlimited was great.

@@danielperkins7255 Not to mention he also made Superman beat up an 8 year old kid in that episode. A magically super powered 8 year old that looks like an adult, but still.
Lex: "You had sixty minutes! Now it's less!"
Clark: "Yeah. Gimme a second Lex." *flies away at super speed, reappears after about thirty seconds* "Yeah. I'm not gonna kill Batman."
Lex: "A cruel God indeed!" *goes to phone the kidnappers only to see Superman holding their phone*
Clark: "My mother is an older lady. I learned what her heart sounded like a solid decade ago. As for your muscle, they looked at me, looked at her, pissed themselves, dropped their guns, and now they're probably gonna be coming after you. Have fun with that."
Lex: "That... This... You haven't won!"
Clark: "Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that, Daddy Issues." *flies off to deal with Batfleck with a clearer head*
That is 1 of tha thousand ways that cuda gone betta
Unless he lined every potential involved in his plan with lead. Superman's powers are nullified by that.
If Superman can hear human heart beating at the end of the city, how didn't he go insane of millions of loud noises of this city?
@@Сайтамен Tha world's too big, ma!
. . . Then make it small, son . . .
@@tgkafg If he does make small, he can't hear her.
The mistakes with this version of Lex started from “Let’s give him hair” and only went downhill from there.
Well Lex in older comics was actually a red head. I think the first mistake was making a Lex who leans more towards insanity than he should
The problem was the choice of actor and then the personality of lex in this movie, lex from smallville would have been perfect with a slightly smarter twist in story to align with smallville lex smarts.
Mainly not making stupid choices 🤦♂️🤣
The hair, and him being called "Lex Luthor Jr." was a nod to the fact that, during the 90s, Lex was inhabiting a clone body (His original died of Kryptonite-induced cancer) and claiming to be his son, also called Lex. The clone body had long red hair. This was, of course, the look he had during the Death of Superman storyline, which this movie is partially based on.
It's a clever nod, sure, but... it did not work. And also they shouldn't have done _The Death of Superman_ in their second fucking movie.
Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor had hair. They just pretended he was wearing wigs and Hackman pulled it off because he’s a boss. The mistake was hiring Eisenberg. He looked even more ridiculous when he was bald. It should have been him that turned into Doomsday and then his dad shows up and is the REAL Lex Luthor, played by John Malkovich.
Starting him out with hair is fine, as long as he loses it and blames Superman for it.
Comic Lex: *points at movie Lex* Whose this... sassy man-child?
Lmao.
I understood that reference
It's you from earth 87 B Lex. - Dr fate.
Definitely.
Even if you didn't know who Lex Luthor is, he is still miscast.
"take a bucket of grannies piss and call it peach tea."
Um.....the fuck?
"maybe dad will come back, if I keep everything the same."
What in the- What kind of- I'm glad I didn't see this movie. This movie's script seems.....bad.
No you're just not mature enough to appreciate these dark and mature movies you MCU fan!
*sarcasm*
The real Lex Luthor enter the room, saw the script for this Movie and bailed to alternate dimension faster then Superman flies in the sky. So they kidnaped poor Riddler from Arkham Asylum.
Nah, they kidnapped Zuck from the Social Network film and gave him cocaine.
Then they dropped the Riddler on his head.....
73 times.
Tbh he would make a really good riddler
He came to our universe, created a delivery company and then spun the delivery company into a streaming service which has created two very popular comic book based shows. Both shows being anti-superman propaganda.
@@adamfreddo5703 the bois and invincible. Lol that would be a good villain plot. Like in Logan where they put drugs in everyday foods to wipe out mutants.
Lex Luthor would have won had he forced Superman's mother to legally change her name to Emma.
Honestly, Lex Luther just, _not_ being Lex Luther is only a drop in the bucket when it comes to the whole ecosystem of problems with the DCCU.

Seriously, what was their plan if they actually went through with killing Superman's mom? Cross their fingers and hope that first punch is painless?
If I had been superman in this movie, I would not had Lex luthor go before I found my mother.
And he better hoped that she is still alive, otherwise nobody will find his corpse or his company ever again.
@@molybdaen11 Right?! Superman killed Zod. He had given no indication that he is above killing or incapable of fire and brimstone levels of wrath. That's be a great scene though. Superman shows up in front of Batman holding Lex by the back of his neck.

And apparently every modern superhero needs to act like Batman.
@@teran1237 Woke culture don't want heroes to inspire us. They want so called heroes to be super flawed people with daddy issues

Wow, that's so bad, young people ruining everything again, damn you, children
Superheroes aren't "modern mythology"
They are fictional characters indeed, and their purpose is to tell the story
What story it will be and what it will be for - it's for authors to decide, and for people to interpret
If the thought of humans being not perfect makes you depressed - it's a you problem
And if you need spiritual inspiration - you're clearly looking in the wrong place, since we aren't worshipping Cap America and Batman as gods to guide us through life (maybe you do, but most of us clearly don't)
For that you have christianity and other religions - this is modern mythology, not comic books, no, please at least read the definition of the word "myth"
@@Excalibur01 woke culture? i bet you blame everything in your life on "woke culture".
People in general want flawed characters and not cardboard cutouts. you are amazingly stupid.
The problem with zack snyder is that his films are extremely childish but try to be edgy and he doesnt understand story structure or characters.
Villains can only be as smart as those writing them.
If that was true Conan Doyle should be super genius levels of intellect, having written Moriarty.
He wasn’t.
He wasn’t stupid, don’t get me wrong, but obviously not moriarty levels of intellect either ^^
@CruzZ The joker wasn't smart ? Palpatine and Vader weren't smart (epVI aside, the sequels don't count obviously) ? Moriarty isn't smart ?
@@nathanjora7627 Moriarty didn't come up with his schemes, Doyle did.
@@bethbearmacethatguy ... Yes, and ? As I've pointed out, Doyle was indeed fairly intelligent, what I'm saying is that he didn't have Moriarty's level of intellect, so as all good authors he had to resort to trickery in order to convince the readers that holmes and moriarty were far more intelligent than he (or let's be frank 99.9999999% of humans) will ever be.
@@nathanjora7627 what??? But the whole point of sherlock Holmes is that he is a normal human being that anyone can be like if they dedicate their time to practice hard enough. They aren't supposed to be superhumans like batman. And even fairly intelligent people can write very smart characters, because they have the luxury of time. For example sir arthur conal doyle can spend hours and even weeks to come up with a deduction and then just write that sherlock did that in few seconds to make him appear smart, see it's all about time.

One of the big annoyances I had with this "Doomsday" was he was just an abomination randomly created with Kryptonian DNA... that was born at night and never exposed to a yellow sun. How exactly was he all that strong compared to Superman who had decades under it? It wasn't like the real Doomsday that was carefully created to have all his powers and adaptations.
They needed a famous villian to unite the fan base again after that fake fight.
For Canon doomsday, we would had to wait a few decades or longer until he evolved far enough.
@@molybdaen11 Well not to mention it was freaking Doomsday... Thrown in at the end of the movie as a throw away monster for a 10 minute CGI fight. It would be like if in Iroman 2 Tony stomped Thanos by accident while chasing a mugger.
@@JustaGuy_Gaming ALso I would have Diana used the spear.
Because she was greek, so she must be familar with it, also she should be able to stand the radiation for a few minutes - not like a certain farmer son with a weak spot.
From what I understand, Metallo was supposed to be the ending villain. The movie got delayed and either WB or Snyder decided to have Wonder Woman meaning Metallo is now irrelevant and so they decided on Doomsday
@@molybdaen11 considering how Diana was trained in ancient warfare she probably could've chucked the spear with enough force to kill this "Doomsday" from afar, lol
In the comics Batman is actually more scared than anyone else that he is one bad day away from becoming a murderous psychopath due to the fine line that he walks with his dark style of fighting crime.
His character as a whole is already bordering on psychopathy, like what kind of normal person dresses up as bat, beats criminals so hard that some of them may end up being permanent (mental and physical) cripples
@@quakethedoombringer I am a big fan of Batman but you are not wrong. He is a psychopath really. Just one that is obsessed with protecting the citizens of Gotham rather than harm them unlike his enemies. His obsession is so strong as to be harmful to himself more than any one else (mentally that is).
Yeah this is right plus there was a serie or was it the game? Tbh haven’t really checked that story. That Batman gets treatment and all his enemy are people in psych ward called arkazhan. Was a great way of showing how crazy he is
@@kanebunce3791 if he actually gave a shit about the citizens of Gotham, he would use his wealth to do more than run an orphanage, a few scholarships, and the occasional charitable donation. He would advocate for systemic change to the voting system that proportionally represented the majority of people rather than the few legal and illegal wealthy. He would advocate for fair taxes on the disproportionately wealthy to pay for publicly funded Universal Healthcare, Dental, Mental, Pharma, Childcare, and Education, so the madmen of Gotham wouldn’t have a ready supply of desperate Gothamites to recruit into extreme violence that he then makes further destitute with hospital bills every time he beats a few up in the crumbling neglected infrastructure of slumlords at docks or in alleyways or on rooftops. When given the greatest opportunity to change Gotham’s systemic problems when USA abandoned it in No Man’s Land, he chose instead to form gangs to maintain a fragile status quo rather than build, leaving that to corporations known for corruption to take care of. Bruce is a beneficiary of a system that gave him his gated mansion and that he continues to prop up with his psychopathy little better than a SWAT team with unqualified immunity from the very laws they claim to serve.
@@CanadianWolverine Bruce himself is very aware of his failings and realises that he'd make a very poor politician so he does what he can in helping hospitals orphanages annd getting kids a good education. He does support people who he believes will change Gotham for the better as evidenced when he strongly advocated for his lawyer friend who unfortunately due to a terrible circumstance became two-face
In a nutshell this lex Luther is a nosy cocky teenager who way over his head.
Don't forget the daddy issues!

Zack Snyder said that he chose Eisenberg for the role because after meeting with himfor the first time, he could not really tell if he was being insulted or complimented while they were talking.

Batman:
"I bet your parents told you, you were special"
5 seconds later
"Wait, you have a mom?"
I interpreted that as Batman referring to Superman's Kryptonian parents. And in context, Kal-El IS special, since he was naturally born on Krypton, whereas everyone else was basically cloned.
I think people saying that that made him realise Clark had a mom was only an excuse 'cause clearly he kind of figured Superman had parents hence the phrase' I bet your parents taught you you mean something that you are here for a reason' (echoing Jonathan's words in Man of Steel) 'my parents taught me a different lesson: dying in the gutter for no reason at all' (clearly pointing to the fact that his parents' death were the exact opposite than for a reason, they died pointlessly and absurdly) 'they taught me the world only makes sense if you force it' (this shows us that Bruce is a man without faith, he is the God of his own mind, reason and world)... And then when Clark says Martha it obviously reminds him of his mother's absurd meaningless death and when Lois says its Clark's mothers name something snaps inside of Bruce. I think Zack Snyder here was trying to create a parallel between the Roman that pierced Jesus with the spear because he was ordered to make sure this false god was dead, and when he did water came out of Jesus into the Roman and then he was 'touched' by the holy spirit, found faith, and then went on to spread the word of Jesus thus helping create Christianity (similar to how Bruce is inspired by Superman and goes on to recruit the JL).. The chances that this alien would fall into Kansas and be adopted by a woman with the same name as his own mother are slim to none.. And thus Bruce believes once again that things happen for a reason.. I concluded all of this only thanks to the Snydercut when Bruce expresses twice to Alfred that he is working strictly out of Faith.
@@TheRodg43 the people that don't get it just don't want to. It's not that hard to get, it wasn't supposed to be so deep
@Prince Lorian seems you're forgetting that Lois came in seconds later
@Prince Lorian what ,Lois saw the fight taking place that was established. Also Clark a REPORTER knew who Bruce Batman was
My main question is:
He put the kriptonian body with his blood into the "make your own villain" machine to make a hybrid to kill Superman, right? That was his ultimate plan
So...
Why didnt he instead put his own body into the machine with kriptonian blood? He got plenty either from the corpse or from Superman himself after that dumb fight with Batman
If he was envious of Clark being a "god" why would he miss his only freaking chance to become one himself

Trivia- So apparently, David Goyer was working on the script for "Man of Steel 2" when he got a call from Warner Bros. informing him that they want to do Batman v Superman instead since the first MoS didn't do as well as the Batman movies.
Goyer had previously worked on a WB committee that looked at different scripts and story ideas for the DC universe going forward (that ultimately settled on "Batman Begins"), and he had rejected a script from someone else for a "Batman vs Superman" movie, saying at the time that versus movies are where you go when you run out of ideas.
So, his "MoS 2" script now obsolete and the deadline still unchanged, he just went back and got the "Batman v Superman" script he himself had jettisoned, changed a few details to make it fit the MoS world and set up Justice League, and that is where this movie comes from.
Ah, BvS: Dawn of Justice. Or "This movie's conflict can be easily resolved in 2 minutes, if any of the heroes/characters use their brains"
Also, how is it possible that Batman doesn't know who Superman is?, it's not like Superman is trying to stay low profile while saving the world, and dressing blue and red, on top of the media talking about him :|
The fight between batman and superman was such a letdown, not to mention complete BS. I mean it culminated in batman hitting superman over the head with a toilet sink. Just think about that... Millions of dollars. Someone got paid for that guys...
Because they ultimately couldn't commit on making either the victor.
Lex Luthor: "Do not pick a fight with [Superman]."
Also Lex Luthor: *spends entire movie picking a fight with Superman*
The greatest travesty of the Snyderverse is the disaterous portrayal of Lex Luthor
I think the blatant character assassination of superman, lex Luther, and batman are all about equal on the travesty level.

Lex in most of the comics: A cool and calculated man who's smart enough to both be a supervillain and to never leave enough evidence to be arrested even when he's caught.
Lex in this movie: Daddy beat me so I showed him!
Zack snyders whole reasoning for making lex like this was because he took "inspiration" from early versions of lex aswell apparantly birthrights incarnation of the character. Something that if you exposed yourself to said materials you'd was not even remotely true. Early lex was definately hysterical, but he was also smart and it showed, he wasn't jittery and stuttered as he spoke or forced candy bars into peoples mouths.
Lex in birthright was an ego driven individual who grew up with clark in smallville and desired to constantly better himself and prove himself better than others and treated those he deemed lesser than himself with contempt and wanted to be a superman himself, but once superman treated him indifferently and did not acknowledge his superiority lex chose to make superman his enemy.
In dawn of justice lex is shown to be a jittering dotting individual that doesn't have the drive or air of arrogance his birthright and main universe counterpart possesed. His reason for killing superman is simply he wants to prevent Superman from becoming some kind of worldwide dictator that will be a threat to humanity, but goes ahead to create a rampaging monster to kill superman aswell as in the ultimate edition allies himself with a conquering god that wants to attack earth and in the end is shown to be a completely insane man talking about bells ringing and demons coming. Completely different from both the birthright and main universe lex luthor.
Is this the same Lex Luthor who canonically stole like ten cakes just because he could?
@@silverblade357 that was in the silverage, in the modern post crisis comics he stole the cakes as an act of revenge against the school administration for refusing to allow him to enter his vision powered toaster in the science fair and proceeded to sell the cakes to kids at jacked up prices.

Yeah... they pretty much failed at every conceivable character in that movie. Batman kills, superman is nihilistic, Luthor is unhinged and stupid, etc... Why use the "characters" if they are just going to change all the characters?

So far the plan imagined by Lex that I find to be the stupidest is the one from Superman Return (2006). (spoiler duh) So his plan is to grow a brand new continent and sell the land to countries. The problem is that's not how ownership of land works. No individual on the planet technically owns land, instead it is countries that grant rights to "own" the land in their territory, but given a sufficient reason, any land can be taken back by those countries without any reparation toward the previous owner. So basically, Lex plan to create a new continent would create an incentive for countries to go conquer it, wage war upon it and control who has the right to owns it, be it individuals, corporations or public offices. As for Lex, first all the countries would laugh at him for his claim over the land and secondly he would be declared as enemy number one and tried for crimes against humanity for destroying so many lands. Isn't Lex supposed to be a genius or something?
Also, do note that the same reasoning can be applied to Lex plan in Superman (1978). His plan is to sink California's coast to form the new west coast. If this plan worked, the US would give the finger to Lex, assuming they couldn't prove he bombed the fault line, seize all this new valuable land from Lex because they can and its an emergency and Lexcorp would go bankrupt for losing all this land.
Very true.

You know it’s bad when the Lex Luther from the Lego games and films are more accurate
Zealot, don't you know you can't criticize Zack Snyder anymore?
To be fair, he's far better a director and human than the guy who replaced him for the theatrical cut.
@@richardarriaga6271 No he is not, as a human being he's just as bad as Whedon, especially when you consider that he admitted to encouraging his semi psychotic, troll invested fan community to bully and harass anyone who criticize his work.
As for him being a better director than Whedon, LOL! That's a good one! Joss Whedon (love him or hate him) 4 critically acclaimed movies, his last 2 (the avengers movies) broke boxoffice records and changed the landscape of hollywood, while theatrical movie Snyder made after 300 was either a critical flop or a commercial one or both!
That dubstep was far more epic than this movie deserves.
Thank the gods for this channel, you have no idea how bad I’ve needed to hear someone shit on the stupidity of Lex Luthor
The only good thing about BvS was Batman's warehouse fight scene.
Like a fight sequence from one of the Arkham games.
Oh gods, that shade at this version of Batman being an 8-year old was hilarious despite it kind of applying all versions. This video was hilarious in general though, so thanks.
Speaking of Batman, the one of most baffling things about this mess of movie is how the "Bat-Brand" is a supposedly a death sentence in prison. Like...why? Given this Batman is clearly an unhinged lunatic at this point who actively murders people, why would *any* prisoners go after anyone with his sadistic mark that they wouldn't already go after, like it added any extra stigma to them? Especially when Batman has doubtless put many more prisoners he didn't brand in the same prison? If anything, then people with the "Bat-Brand" seem like they should get a bit more clout or street cred and have a slight easier time in prison given they were "chosen" by this Batman, which seems like the exact opposite thing he wants or that's happening.
To say nothing of the fact that if "Bat-Brand" *does* work like how it supposedly does for completely irrational reasons and is setting prisoners up to be murdered, then this version of Gotham PD is *tacitly sanctioning a murderer.* I mean, more than they already are in this universe, but in a more provable, public way than Bruce's late night killings. This is especially true since the Bat Signal is shown to still exist in this universe, and it's not like Bruce's murderous crimes and encouragements should magically go away by time _Justice League_ lurches around as much as it and Snyder's fans want to pretend otherwise.
Gods, the DCEU is such a god damned mess.
I would actually love Jessy performance if he wasn't Lex Luther.
He's a good actor, but he wasn't a LEX.

Ok, Lex. Here's bussiness card for two of the other villains I assist, Harlequinn and Dr. Hugo Strange. Personally, I'm not sure either of them will actually fix your obsession, but they can at least get you to plan things logically. Though, if you want to actually cure it, talk to the Ultrahumanite. He has a degree in psychology, but it will be expensive.
There were parts of your typical Lex in there, but too few, too late and too little. He's far, FAR too nervous for Lex. He can be Lex jr.

After watching the ending sequence, my son and I asked my non-comics familiar wife the following: "You have to kill a bad guy using only a kryptonite spear. Your 3 choices of who to use it are Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Who tries to kill the bad guy?" She responded, "Wonder Woman." I said, "You should consult on the next Zach Snyder superhero movie." So much wrong with this movie.
I just love these bits of Tuvok's wisdom here and there.
Talking about Bat v. Soup always gets me in the mood for Smallville and the original Superman movies.
Despite the faults, I did look forward to each season of smallville.
Mike was a great lex
Never got to watch much Smallville. But, i still remember Superman 2 fondly.
And watching Superman 3. In the theaters at age 7. Well, when that woman was turned into a robot, i was traumatized for weeks, good times.
@@demonkingbadger6689
For me the quality of smallville went down after the departure of Michael.
That said it did have its moments..
Superman 2 is possibly the worst superhero movie ever made. It was so bad that instead of coming to an ending, it literally just retconned itself so that the movie never took place.
He could be a more solid Joker with a solid script in this universe, but no, he's Lex Luthor...and Jared Leto is still a mediocre Joker.
Mediocre is generous
Tbh both of these instances are down to the script. I’d like to see Jared’s performance with a Joker that isn’t written by complete morons.
May the algorithm bless you, sir.
They tried to mix Zuckerburg and the Joker instead of just doing Lex Luthor
Granny’s *Ziwi* Tea
YES
Eisenberg would be a great riddler or especially a great mad hatter.
A tally, mad hatter would make more sense. A tinkerer who loses everything in Zod's wrestle with superman, but knows he can't do anything to then kf steel so builds mind altering devices to guide the only person he knows has a chance, batman, towards fighting the man of steel as an indirect revenge. Actually that would have made a much better story with more reason to why people were acting so pit of character entirely.
Discover Batman's obvious feelings, then let him "find" the Kryptonite and Clark's secret identity. Sounds like that would be a simple, effective plan, right? Also, its clear that more Tuvok is better.
this is how snyder destroys films and characters, the man is a hack.

I'm thinking that you should do a video on Darkest Minds (2018). The thing being that it's adults vs children, with children and teens being imprisoned. However, the question becomes, what are the adults going to do? Imprison all children and live... for...ever...?
you'd think lex would have learned a lesson from his friend DCEU Hillary about using a home server
I don't think there's a DCEU Hillary, that kind of evil would be entirely too implausible for the movie-going audience to believe.

A long, alcohol-soaked afternoon that bleeds into night. Or possibly some other kind of substance to abuse, but no-one who wrote this was in any fit state to operate heavy machinery at the time.
If the real Lex Luthor went against Batman and Superman as they are in this movie, they would be dead or would lose horribly. I'm pretty sure they had to dumb Lex down substantially because the heroes would have had no chance otherwise.
So they had to dumb down Lex so Supes and Bats could stand a chance, but didn't they also dumb down Supes and Bats so stupid Lex could stand a chance?
@@scytheseven9173 Well, sort of. All the characters were dumbed down to the point where intelligence was no longer a factor. A toaster oven could have beaten this movie's version of Lex.
Batman is supposed to be a clever billionaire genius as well. LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises are rivals.
"Real Lex" I didn't know the Lex we saw in the movie was a fake, I presume that was in the uncut directors edition.
Jokes aside, Lex doesn't have to be the Best version of all of Lex, they just needed someone to be actually competent, have a sound motive that is more than just "Kill soup man cause he can be penis tator man."
This version of Lex is atrociusly bad and ruins the movie--🙄--that is to say, it makes it so much worse!
I can't even take him seriously as a man, let alone as a villain worthy of Superman and Batman.
