20 Worst DCEU Movie Moments (So Far)
4. Lex Luthor Taunts Superman - Batman V Superman
Jesse Eisenberg's performance is excruciating to watch from the word 'Go', but it's this scene, in which he taunts Superman about having taken his mother hostage, in which the cringe factor reaches the highest possible levels since the performance is at its most giggly, unintimidating and hammy.
It's easy to speculate that Superman's angry expression might not have been acting. It might've been Henry Cavill's real-life frustration at having to share a scene with this dreadful villain.
As well as this, various things regarding Luthor's scheme aren't actually explained. What was Lex Luthor actually trying to achieve by getting Batman and Superman to battle each other? What was his big evil plan? That's one of the many unanswered questions from the DCEU's early days.
