Fans haven't gotten to see much about the upcoming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice film, directed by Zack Snyder and hitting theaters on March 25, 2016, but in Entertainment Weekly, they had a first look at Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. The Superman villain, shown above, is very different from other villains in comic books. He's a thinking man's villain and a public figure.

Zack Snyder had a bit to say about the character in the upcoming film.

“He’s not any of the Lexes that you’ve seen, that’s for sure...other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course... Our Lex is disarming and he’s not fake... He says what he believes and he says what’s on his mind. If you can unravel the string and decipher what he means, it’s all there.”

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice opens up on March 25, 2016.
