When it was first announced that Jesse Eisenberg from "The Social Network" would be Lex Luthor in the new "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" movie, I didn't know what to expect.

I remembered him from his earlier movie and I just couldn't imagine him playing a villain.

Wednesday morning, Entertainment Weekly published an article which gave us our first look at Eisenberg as Luthor.

I am impressed. I think, by looks alone, he will be able to pull it off.

According to Entertainment Weekly, "He's not any of the Lexes that you've seen, that's for sure," says Snyder, "other than him being a captain of industry and one person to the world and another person to himself. And bald, of course."
