If you look closely at Jason’s facial expressions you can see that he’s breathing slightly quicker and is leaning back, showing some discomfort to the Kryptonite. The only reason it’s not effecting him fully is because he’s half human and has not properly developed his powers yet. That’s why Lois looked scared when she saw lex holding the kryptonite, she was afraid of him finding out about Jason’s true parentage and using her child to hurt superman or worse.
You can tell Lex is suspicious of Jason so he places the krytonite right by his face just to see if it had any affects when it didn't he dropped his suspicion. Only for his answered to be confirmed that one of his henchmen had died from having a piano smashed into him "Yep that's Superman's kid."
Catspaw I’m not sure if you were watching, but Jason DID react, at least enough for Lex to be suspicious, his henchmen’s death confirmed his suspicions
It only effected Jason slightly because of all the medications he was using, whatever it is that runs through a developing kryptonian has to run its course so their bodies can naturally develop their superpowers
I think it triggered Jason’s powers when Lex waves it right in front of his face real close because if you notice Jason stiffens up as if he got a shot.
@@GinoongVince or Jason might be like superboy of young justice. Being half human and half Kryptonian he might not have all of Supermans powers but he won't be as vulnerable to kryptonite as Superman.
Newton-Thomas Siegel literally bathes the scenes he shoots in gold. I love his style. His cinematography shines in Drive as well. I still like the early look of the DCEU though. Amir Mokri and Larry Fong did a great job on those films.
It’s such a great part of his character. He is so incredibly egotistical, he views himself as living in a world of babies, everyone else is a dumb child compared to him.
@@Circuitssmith It's why he's one of my favorite villains ever. He's not doing villainous things just to "conquer the world", it's just him feeding his ego to show how much better he is than anyone else.

Este poderoso hombre es prácticamente un Dios
Lex had truly been driven insane with jealousy and rage. There was no way he could pull off his ridiculous plan without destroying everything and everybody in the process, including himself. He didn't care. It's all about hurting Superman 24/7.
Well Lex admitted that in Smallville's Series Finale. And in Season 7 when Clark confronted him about Lionel's death. "Everyone loves Clark Kent! He's the perfect son!"
Well, after seeing how poor China and Russia are at missiles let alone defending themselves, they probably couldn't take over Lex's island. I would bet USA would nuke it before it got out of hand.
Man this scene really captured lex Luther in ways I don’t think I’ve seen. Just the level of cold calculation, mixed with the bit of sharp wit that shows how big the guys ego really is. I absolutely love every second of this scene!
Reminds me of a joke repeated many times over the years. Lex standing gloating over Superman. Superman, " So you are Finally able to kill me Lex, are you going to make it slow or fast as not to waste your time?" Lex, " Kill you ? Why would I want to kill you? You know how many weapon contract R&D projects my companies are getting paid by nations that want you out of their hair ? Why would I want to kill you ? By the Way, have you seen Wayne stock ? Militarized Batman gear ?"
He was never found guilty. The court proved his innocence. Did it occur to you those victims probably made up that story. Jealous of his success and wanted a piece of his money.
Well he could have waited a while global warming might eventually make that happen anybody with a brain would realize understand what would happen if the polar ice caps were to melt to a significant extent .
What I love about Lex is he is the most psychotic nice guy ever. He can sit calmly with you and talk to you like an old friend... All the while plotting to kill you in horrible ways...
- Cummon, let me hear you say it. Just once, cummon... - You're insane... - No! (Can't hold how much of a freak he is) What a great actor. Enjoy every second of this scene
Imagine if ben afflecks batman came after this lex luthor oh why oh why we didn't hire Kevin spacey as lex luthor again instead of Jesse Eisenberg? He would've nailed it like he did here in this scene.
I don't think people REALLY understand that ‘Superman Returns’ (2006) was a direct sequel to ‘Superman 2.’ That's why Luthor knows where the Fortress of Solitude is and how Superman knocked up Lois. Most people I hear say that they just didn’t really like how Brandon Routh portrayed Superman, but Brandon Routh captured the spirit of Chris Reeves perfectly. He looks just like him at that age (Reeves was also in his late 20s during the filming of the first 2 movies) and totally sold me on this being the same boy scout/awkward dork character from those films. I agree Kate Bosworth was miscast being too young to play Lois (she was 23, while Margot Kidder was older than Reeves during the earlier movies), but as far as acting goes she, much like Routh, captured old Lois very well. Luthor seducing a rich old lady to get him out of jail and inherit her money sounds like something he'd do in the past movies. It's absurd comedy! A staple of the old films. And most people complain that the ending was quick and convenient when that was the case with the earlier films as well (time reversal, anyone?). Overall, I love this movie and it gets more shit than it deserves.
Este señor Luthor, impecable con su traje, su soberbia camisa azul de cuellos perfectamente almidonados y su perfecta corbata, es el único capaz de TORTURAR al pelele del pijama y el que mejor lo TRITURA hasta la muerte, después de trincharlo y reventarlo con ensañamiento. El gesto simbólico de tirarlo a la BASURA es BRUTAL Y FASCINANTE
Honestly Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor is the best version of the iconic villain(no offense to Clancy Brown or Michael Rosenbaum). Imagine if Heath Ledger's Joker and Kevin Spacey's Lex Luthor met?
Una pena que el señor Luthor no ejecutara del todo al ridículo pelele del pijama, después de TORTURARLO desgarrandolo, REVENTANDOLO, y perforarle un pulmón mientras, con su impecable traje, su soberbia camisa azul de cuellos perfectamente almidonados, su perfecta corbata y los sensacionales gemelos que luce en los puños, le echa su aliento a tabaco, se ensaña con su destrozado cuerpo, disfrutando con todo ello y planificando destriparlo en el siguiente movimiento. En el momento en que lo tira al suelo como un muñeco deshecho, aterrorizado y sin voluntad, se tira al mar por no volver a caer en las manos de su TORTURADOR, al que tiene terror. Brutal y fascinante escena
Am I only that's more terrified of lex in this movie then I am with the Nolanverse Joker? Like there's something about this guy that feels like a time bomb and when it explodes, it hurts.
No hay más qué ver cómo TRITURA VIVO al protagonista al final. Como lo agarra con una sola y poderosa mano, como lo oprime con uno sólo de sus fuertes brazos y cómo, desde el poder de su impecable traje, su soberbia camisa azul de cuellos perfectamente almidonados y su perfecta corbata, empieza a rasgarlo, a cortarlo, a penetrarlo, a ensartarlo y a reventarle el pulmón derecho, convirtiéndolo en un guiñapo jadeante y aterrorizado que sabe que va a morir a manos de ese guaperas trajeado, por lo que decide saltar al vacío antes que volver a ser TORTURADO por este CHULAZO
If someone was to ask me what my top four favorite performances of Kevin Spacey’s career were, it would be almost too easy: 1. Hopper - A Bug’s Life 2. Verbal Kint - The Usual Suspects 3. Lex Luthor - Superman Returns 4. John Doe - Se7en

Because of two unproven accusations of which one was dropped and the accuser was pretty shady. (All the other accusation were about grown up men, most even about pretty standard behavior)
Lois knew that Jason's father is Superman but she tried to hide it from Lex's knowledge otherwise Lex tends to use Jason to against Superman unfortunately he knew the father from Jason's face expression when he got close the krytonote to Jason's face but he was not so sure then after his henchman died then he's freaking sure that Superman is Jason's father.
Fun Facts: Jude Law was Bryan Singer's only casting choice for General Zod, but, he turned it down. When McG was attached to direct Superman Returns, he wanted Jared Padalecki to play Superman and Robert Downey Jr. to play Lex Luthor
I was maybe 7 when I saw this for the first time, my dad was watching I didn’t even know it was superman at the time but it’s a very vivid memory this exact scene
I knew that something was not right with Jason in the scene. You could tell he’s clearly uncomfortable. Not just because of Lex but if you look at his eyes, he is clearly looking at the kryptonite that he’s possessing in his hand.. and later on about 10 minutes into the movie, you see him use super strength to push the piano into the bad guy that was hurting lois
Should be up there with Ledger’s “Ta daa it’s gone” scene. Perfectly encapsulates everything about the most prolific villain of their respective heroes.
1:47 if you pause and look real closely, you can see Metropolis is located in New York State, right beside New Jersey but Long Island in this movie doesn't seem to exist or if it's underwater.
I once read that Robert Downey Jr was almost cast as Lex Luthor, I don't want to imagine how he would look with a bald head. It's a good thing Kevin Spacey shaved his head for this film, there are some scenes where he really looks like Gene Hackman's character, he looks really good
Gene Hackman the voice of DreamWorks Insect 🐜 Villain from the movie Antz, General Mandible and Kevin Spacey the voice of Hopper the evil Grasshopper villain in Disney’s insect movie, “A Bug’s Life”🦗 coincidence I think now😏
I always loved how Kryptonite doesn’t glow in this movie. That’s the danger of radiation; you can’t SEE it. That piece of graphite looks harmless, but it has enough radiation emanating from that it will kill you in minutes. Death from something you can’t even see. Lex tricked Superman into flying to his death, an entire island made of the one thing that can kill him.
“Who’s that boys father?”
Everything about that scene is perfect

This scene is absolutely amazing. Can watch it again and again. I really don’t get why this film wasn’t a massive hit. Goosebumps every time
Fun Facts:
Jude Law was Bryan Singer's only casting choice for General Zod, but, he turned it down.
When McG was attached to direct Superman Returns, he wanted Jared Padalecki to play Superman and Robert Downey Jr. to play Lex Luthor
I was maybe 7 when I saw this for the first time, my dad was watching I didn’t even know it was superman at the time but it’s a very vivid memory this exact scene
Subtitles on at 0:52 "are you fishing for an interview miss lemon...."
Lex luthor's best quote in this movie
"WROONNGG"
3:30 When you hear someone say Clancy Brown isn't a good Lex Luthor.
So Jason Voorhees was the son of Superman. No wonder he is so damn OP!
I love the way Lex just completely loses his train of thought on the current subject when observing Jason.
I knew that something was not right with Jason in the scene. You could tell he’s clearly uncomfortable. Not just because of Lex but if you look at his eyes, he is clearly looking at the kryptonite that he’s possessing in his hand.. and later on about 10 minutes into the movie, you see him use super strength to push the piano into the bad guy that was hurting lois
I guess it doesn’t effect half Kryptonians.
4:03 he broke character here. Kevin Spacey is such a hack.
Oh no...
Present Tense oh shit 🤣🤣🤣
Should be up there with Ledger’s “Ta daa it’s gone” scene. Perfectly encapsulates everything about the most prolific villain of their respective heroes.
2:40 when your coworker tells you to put something in the same place as something else
He did a great job. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Spacey is definitely an underrated Lex Luthor.
Yes they can occupy the same space at the time. You just have to blink realy fast
1:47 if you pause and look real closely, you can see Metropolis is located in New York State, right beside New Jersey but Long Island in this movie doesn't seem to exist or if it's underwater.
I once read that Robert Downey Jr was almost cast as Lex Luthor, I don't want to imagine how he would look with a bald head.
It's a good thing Kevin Spacey shaved his head for this film, there are some scenes where he really looks like Gene Hackman's character, he looks really good
4:00 SPOILERS!
I don't care what anyons says.. Kevin Spacey nailed it as Lex Luthor! A very close second to the great Gene Hackman! 😍
3:55 It’s scary how perceptive Lex can be.
The best version of Lex ever.
Gene Hackman the voice of DreamWorks Insect 🐜 Villain from the movie Antz, General Mandible and Kevin Spacey the voice of Hopper the evil Grasshopper villain in Disney’s insect movie, “A Bug’s Life”🦗 coincidence I think now😏
Family and Friends Only, No Strangers
This is why i love his lex!!
Love the backtalk
3:30 when Will Smith said hoping the academy invites me back
"Are you sure?" Responding to 2 responses at once. Nice.
Lois Lane: "What is your favourite Depeche mode song Lex?"
Lex Luthor: 3:31
(gasps) kryptonite 3:40
I always loved how Kryptonite doesn’t glow in this movie. That’s the danger of radiation; you can’t SEE it. That piece of graphite looks harmless, but it has enough radiation emanating from that it will kill you in minutes.
Death from something you can’t even see. Lex tricked Superman into flying to his death, an entire island made of the one thing that can kill him.
I love this
