That Lex Luthor behaving like The Joker wasn't intentional. The entire point of the movie is to show that the Superman mythos belongs to no one and everyone at the same time. This is the historical baggage that Snyder is aware these characters carry: An endless barrage of fanboys and comics since the 30's, comparison to other iconic characters, everyone thinking they have the last word on how these characters act.
It compares Superman to Christ, Moby Dick, King Arthur, Zorro, JFK, etc. Batman is compared with Ahab and Charles F. Kane. It compares Doomsday with a fire spouting dragon, King Kong, a falling meteorite, a nuclear holocaust, etc. So naturally it does the same with Lex (Zuckerberg). There are many more comparisons with the Nolan trilogy. For instance, the Batmobile scene ends up in him running into Superman, while in the Nolan version he decides to spare the Joker on his motorcycle. The Gotham football team's uniform is the same color in both films. Lois Lane and Rachel are dropped from a skyscraper.
It's a deconstruction and analysis of the characters themselves.
The film thrives on these types of associations, like the red Jolly Rancher pushed into the senator's mouth - "it's cherry" - coming back as the blood dripped onto Zod's face, the red graffiti on Superman's monument and his slashed cheek, not to mention the nods to internet culture and memes. It's precisely this uncomfortable reevaluation and redemption of sugary pop imagery that drives the film. "Snyder intends to resolve the conflict between commerce and art," as Armond White notes. The basic thesis is that Superhero franchises are antithetical to what Superman actually stands for.
The fact that not a single character behaved the way fanboys expected just proves the point that all this was intentional.

I kind of like Joker Luthor.
Lex Luthor was always a shitty villain and just basically evil Bruce Wayne.

Let's dispel once and for all with the ficiton that Barack Obama doesn't know what he is doing, he knows exactly what he is doing.
Barack Obama is undertaking a systematic effort to change this country, to make America more like the rest of the world... it is a systematic effort to change America.

I've seen this pasta before. Nice try.
But let's dispel this notion that Zack Hussein Snyder doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what hes doing.

He was a nervous, numale autist that wouldn't stop talking about his dad.
Even his reasons for doing shit weren't really that well explained.

That's not bad, in fact he's even a better BW. He's a literal genius and is supposed to be the apex of man.

>the apex of man
I never got this. Comic artists/writers aren't really the most physically built of all humans. Yet they setup Lex for a brain vs brawn battle with Superman, which he loses every time. You'd think people who are mostly valuable for their mind would be a little more sympathetic.

>weren't really that well explained.
He literally says why he wants to do what he does in every scene he's in. Are you a literal retard?

He's pretty huge for a normal guy. Him being physically built also matters.

Oh fuck off, there's no explanation. All of his dialogue is written to sound cool and edgy, and doesn't coalesce at all.
His whole purpose was to keep the plot moving.
