Batman Vs Superman Spoilers: 12 Things We Know Will Happen
4. Lex Luthor Is Basically A Mark Zuckerberg "Street Tough"
So far, Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor remains something of an enigma: all we know is that he will be a self-made millionaire having been a homeless child who cut his teeth with a vicious street gang. Could he still be backed by the gang in some way? Whatever the revelation of his past it seems likely that this is going to be a much different Luthor to what we've seen before. He's built LexCorp up into a hip dot com sort of company (according to rumours) and he's a ruthless business intent on the fierce expansion of his brand. Much like Mark Zuckerberg. The most intriguing rumours about Luthor concerns his acquisition of the Daily Planet as a marketing tool: could this be in response to investigations into him, led by Lois Lane? Does that then suggest that Lane will be as much under threat as Superman? It would seem that Luthor is going to manipulate Batman the same way he does Metropolis' residents: using the Gotham dark knight as his poster-boy for the anti-Superman movement, before Wayne learns the truth (perhaps thanks to Lane).
