Batman V Superman: 10 Things You Need To Know About Lex Luthor

9. He Has Hair... For Now

Only in a comic book movie could you expect so much fuss to be made about a character€™s appearance. Of course, in this instance, it€™s not an issue of a drastically different costume or a race change, it€™s whether or not Lex Luthor will be bald. This may sound trivial, but to fans, this is a classic and essential element to the character. After all, we€™ve already famously seen this trait ignored once. The first image of Luthor depicted him as bald and a photo of the cast from Now You See Me: The Second Act, a movie he filmed alongside Batman V Superman, likewise shows Eisenberg sporting a buzz cut. Naturally, this caused some confusion when the trailer was released and Luthor could clearly be seen with long, flowing hair. There€™s two likely explanations for this. The first is that it€™s a wig. Luthor is notoriously vain and surely he would seek to hide such a physical imperfection. The other possibility is that he in some way loses it to kryptonite poisoning. He€™s clearly going to be spending some time with the material so perhaps he will suffer its effects. No matter the case, it€™s exciting to think that at some point in the film, we€™ll get a faithfully-depicted Lex Luthor.
