He would have been a lot better if they casted him as the riddler
Why didn't they just cast him as riddler?
Because, surprise surprise, Zack Snyder and his wife saw something in him and thought he'd be the perfect fit for Lex in the DCEU.
Can't wait to see what he does to the Justice League.

Or Toyman
Or Jimmy Olsen.
Eat these pennies, Senator.
I don't think there's room for villains like The Riddler in Snyder's DC Movie Universe. The best Riddler stories are long, slow burns with very little explosive action or violence. You might get one or two good action scenes but it's mostly about detective work, figuring out puzzles, and figuring out a way to cheat the system. After seeing Batman v. Superman I don't think Snyder has ever considered a movie where someone wasn't getting punched or something else wasn't being blown up every fifteen minutes.
And you know what, that's cool if you like it. Go to the movies, have fun, talk about it with your friends. But that format wouldn't work for The Riddler or Calendar Man or basically any villain where punching super hard isn't the answer.

Literally St. Cloud.

But he didn't give a single riddle?

Nothing happens for the first two acts of BvS outside of that ridiculous Batmobile chase and piss bottles.

He's Alexander Luthor Jr, what if he changes his name to Edward Nigma while his father, the real Luthor, shows up?

Hollywood.

He sent those "You let you family die" notes to Bruce which you could make into riddles.
Also the "Whats the oldest lie in America?" could be made into a riddle.
Im sure something to do with the piss jar could too.

Both of those involved things blowing up.

Are you honestly implying there's room for a slow born mystery without explosions OR quips in Marvel? Because that honestly would be the dumbest thing I've read all week.
It's okay to just say "Superhero Movies in general"

I thought I heard they wanted him for Jimmy Olsen, but he wasn't interested, so after Brian Cranston didn't want to do Luthor, they were like "eh let's let Jimmy do it."
>>81473497
Yeah, it's kind of like that, though to hear Snyder tell it, he had that great idea thinking how bold and unconventional it would be, that they had a totally different take on Luthor. I guess we see where being different just for the sake of being different gets you.

Netflix Series. Also, I don't see how quips don't have a place in slow born mysteries.
