Justice League: Every Character Ranked From Worst To Best

14. Lex Luthor

Despite pre-release reports suggesting that Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor wouldn't appear in the film, he does in fact show up for a quick cameo in the movie's post-credits scene.

The brief appearance shows Luthor aboard a boat having escaped prison, decked out in a slick black suit and meeting up with Deathstroke, suggesting to him that they need to form their own league of villains.

Though it's hard to take too much away from this fleeting cameo, it does seem to imply that Eisenberg's eccentric performance has been toned down somewhat. The fact he's now wearing a more typically Luthor-esque tailored suit is a nice touch, too.

For perhaps the first time in his tenure as Luthor, audiences don't really have anything to complain about. This is a Luthor they can probably be happy with.
