For those of you who were concerned about the casting of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film, we have (possibly) good news for you. LatinoReview.com has released new information on the character, revealing an interesting look at his background and characterization in the film.

For starters, let’s get this out of the way immediately: Lex Luthor is BALD. His head is shaven to be exact. But that is not all. He has another physical trait. You see, Lex Luthor is also into body art and has a detailed sleeve tattoo of the Metropolis skyline on his right arm. Lex is also the richest man on the planet who became a self made billionaire at 18. Lex is currently the CEO of Lexcorp who is one part tech genius, one part ruthless business man and two parts Metropolis street tough. Yes, street tough.

At 14 Lex was living on the streets and for survival was initiated into a street gang. He learned early on that there was someone always bigger and stronger but never smarter. By 15 that street gang was answering to him. According to Lex, strength isn’t everything. RESOLVE is.

So Lex Luthor is the Metropolis street kid turned mogul. My kind of tough guy.

Don’t think of Lex as some goon because his eyes say it all. Behind them burn the fires of unparallelled genius. A powerful intellect enabling him to accomplish anything he bends his will toward. In the boundaries of his mind he is godlike but not a God.

That description certainly gives me a bit more hope for Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor… how about you? Let us know in the comments, and if you’re interested in reading the whole scene (including an encounter with Bruce Wayne), visit the following:
