BvS - lex luthor

"And now God bends to my will."

=====


So I watched Batman v Superman last week and fell in love with Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor – I know it's divisive, but I personally really loved this sort of... modern interpretation? He was brilliant and unsettling and delightful to watch (and brought some much needed energy and contrast to the movie I think ). Also that pretentious trolling and need to be the smartest/most powerful guy in the room. ALSO THAT MUSIC THEME. Basically, I'm the most predictable person in the world and consistently have a thing for nerd villains with father issues and fabulous hair (at least for a while...), what can you do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ANYWAY because of all the mythological/theological themes wrapped up in this movie and his issues/storyline in particular, I went a bit overboard with the symbolism in here... (Kryptonite 'crown of thorns' and I tried combining winged shapes with the style of curved lines in the Kryptonian ship, but honestly idk what I'm doing)

(drawn while listening to Franz Ferdinand’s Evil Eye, which fits a lot with the tone of his character here! )
