Batman V Superman: 10 Spoilers We Learned From The New Images

6. Lex Luthor Has Hair

Well, for some of the movie at least!

During production of Batman v Superman, fans were desperate to catch any sort of glimpse of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, but set photos proved to be useless thanks to the actor covering his head. That led to an ongoing debate about whether or not he would have hair in the movie. 

However, an officially released black and white image of a very bald Lex seemed to put that argument to rest for good. Until now that is. The image above features a Lex Luthor with a lot of hair (this is very similar to how Lex appeared in Mark Waid's critically acclaimed Superman: Birthright), leading to a whole new series of debates about whether it's a wig, flashback, or something else altogether. 

Whatever the answer, it's an interesting look for the villain, and not one Eisenberg was willing to elaborate on. In fact, he refused to say pretty much anything about his role as Lex Luthor, leaving the character and fan-favourite Superman villain a complete mystery as of right now. 

Rumours point to him inadvertently creating Doomsday, but how much those should be trusted at this point is debatable.
