Default Re: DC Nation

SPOILERS

I can't even talk about "Lex Luthor." Whoever that was on screen was definitely not any Lex I've ever seen. Even if I do believe that Eisenberg could have been a good choice. Take this slight and nerdy looking guy and make him the second or third most intelligent man in the DC universe. Add in some shrewd business sense and an ability to manipulate the plan so that it at least looks like that was your plan all along. You don't make him some kind of manic Joker-like person. Lex is more of an evil Batman.

I don't understand his plan - if indeed there was one. Manipulate Batman and Superman into fighting each other so you can create the Doomsday creature... who would do what you tell it to? Like defend the Earth from Darkseid or Brainiac? (The two beings I imagine he could be ranting about at the end of the movie.) At best, you're trying to resurrect the being that just tried to destroy the Earth. Do you think zombie Zod (Zodbie?) would be grateful?

But now, dollars to donuts, in the next Super-sequel they'll write it so that when Lex interfaced with the phantom zone ship he learned what could be out there. You know, something he couldn't have known to plan for before he didn't know what he didn't know. And this knowledge is what drove him a little over the edge.


And I'm kind of amused that NO ONE is talking about the REALLY BIG SPOILER of the movie. Folks who are at all familiar with the tropes of the genre know the THING THAT HAPPENED doesn't matter before the tease at the end, and those who have been living under a rock their entire lives will be disappointed that THE THING doesn't matter already.


Oh, and Mr. The Man. If you aren't reading Pajiba, you should correct that now.
