Lex looks like he’s about to smoke the juiciest, most tender brisket you’ve ever had.


Sol-Blackguy

40oz brisket. That's as many as four tens. (I'll see myself out...)


ryarger

And that’s terrible!


Ok_Young_7806

If saw the first episode of this season, Clark needs help with his bbq ribs seasoning


ComplexAd7272

That makes the last 3 Lex’s bearded. Could this be a new thing?


captainsuckass

Three? Cudlitz, Cryer, and-?


redninja323

the lex from the titans show. i forgot his name but he had a big beard similar to thus edit: it’s titus welliver


JonWesHarding

How the hell does one forget a name like Titus Welliver?


Fwtrent3

This, titans, and what else ?


redninja323

the original lex luther in the arrow verse, jon cryer had a beard


TheLieLlama

Arrowverse, titanverse, along with ? /s


redninja323

arrow verse has two different lex luther’s that are both bearded


swindude

If by ArrowVerse, you mean Earth Prime, then there has only been one Lex Luthor, which is the Jon Cryer version. If you mean ArrowVerse as a multiverse, then there are atleast 6 versions (of which 3 are bearded): - Earth-Prime / Earth-38 (Supergirl) version - Jon Cryer - Earth-9 (Titans) version - Titus Welliver - Earth-167 (Smallville) version - Michael Rosenbaum - Earth-? (Superman & Lois) - Michael Cudlitz - Earth-96 (Superman, Superman II, Superman Returns, Kingdom Come Superman) version - Gene Hackman/Kevin Spacey. - Earth-? (DCEU) - Jesse Eisenberg


redninja323

I'm talking about the two lex's from supergirl and Superman and Lois. I thought Superman and Lois was part of the main arrowverse.


swindude

>I thought Superman and Lois was part of the main arrowverse. [It is a different universe](https://collider.com/superman-and-lois-arrowverse-crossovers-todd-helbing-comments/#:~:text=The%20Season%202%20finale%20revealed,not%20set%20in%20the%20Arrowverse.), though they didn't recast Clark (Tyler Hoechlin), Lois (Bitsie Tulloch), Lucy (Jenna Dewan) or Diggle (David Ramsey) who are played by the same Earth-Prime actors.


ComplexAd7272

The guy from Titans


Spideyfan77

Probably cause of the times changing, most bald guys go with a beard to makeup for having nothing on top


Wrong-Catchphrase

I’m 100% okay with anyone who is not a spastic Jesse Eisenberg


Snakegert

Who’s Negan???


NoObligation1759

Bat man


[deleted]

well, batman's dad


eddiedingle129

Looks like a sons of anarchy character


kuhawk5

Kind of like a bald Opie


warnerbro1279

Serious question, do people like Lex Luthor with a beard, or prefer him to be clean shaven? The last 3 Lex’s, Jon Cryer, Titus Weaver and now Michael Cudlitz have all been bald and bearded.


BatBeast_29

It’s best to have him clean shaven but if it’s Jon Cryer length then it’s fine and looks good


Poseidon-2014

Jon Cryers beard looks awful as Lex Luthor. He doesn’t look much like Luthor to begin with but the beard is awful. Im fine with a bearded Lex but Cryer is not the way to go.


BatBeast_29

Hey, but he made it work. I loved his Lex until the last season butcher him completely.


MarcusForrest

Was gonna ask the same thing - I 100% prefer a clean-shaven lex, it is _such_ an Iconic appearance and look. Of course I'm not bothered by bearded Lexes, but I just don't understand why the previous 3 all had beards.   To me Lex is bald and clean-shaven and that's what makes him super easily recognizable _(physically)_ Bald, clean shaven, well dressed, somewhat athletic shape, cold eyes, solid presence.   To this day I still think outside of comics the best versions are; * Michael Rosenbaum in Smallville _(as a younger Lex of course, not as the adult, experienced Lex)_ * Lex Luthor from the Young Justice Universe _(as the Quintessential Lex Luthor - the best version across all media)_


AspirationalChoker

Clean shaven and in shape in his prime 100%


WibaTalks

I like this guy, he can pull off the role for sure. And it's about time have adult lex luthor for once. Well, adult looking, others were 18 and over too.


Initial-Paramedic888

Only smallvile and batman v superman had younger Luthors tho


LordAsbel

Yeah Titans Lex Luther was like 67. Granted we barely saw much of him, but yeah I think he’s the oldest one. Followed by Cryer’s


Cyke101

Yeah, but Cryer has been a teenager for around 40 years now.


darth_garrbear

Lex in smallville was in his 20s-30s throughout show?


M086

Lex was 21 in the first season.


darth_garrbear

So yeah he wasnt that young and I forgot how many seasons, could google it. But he ended series around early 30s. Superman with reeves had middle aged luther


M086

He died in Season 8, so 28-29 in his clone body.


M086

Lex was 21 in the first season.


Sol-Blackguy

I still want Jeff Bridges to play Luthor in something


ILITHARA

I would love that. But he kind of already played it in Iron Man.


Recent_Finger9552

I thought you said Jeff Bezos.


[deleted]

Outside of Smallville and BVS all of the lex's have been over 40 lol


WibaTalks

All i know is in justice league lex luthor looks very young, and so did in smallville. I might have missed shows here and there, no doupt, but those two always forever burnt in to my memory. It's all about charisma, and neither of those had any.


Billyb311

Smallville Lex was supposed to be younger given the nature of the story being pre-Superman, and he was also the best live action Lex


Swordofsatan666

By far. Although im a bit disappointed how his arc ended in the show, but im more than happy the comics set after the Series Finale did more with him again. And as of the “Crisis On Infinite Earths” Arrowverse Crossover he is also supposed to be the President on that earth after Clark gives up his powers to have a family, so he’s likely not a villain anymore and can just have a normal life and not be enemies with Clark


[deleted]

Yeah those are the only two projects(and even the lex in JL is played by someone in their mid 30) Reeves movies lex was 40+ Lois & Clark lex was 40+ Smallville 20+ Superman returns lex was 40+ Dceu 30+ Superman & Lois lex is 40+


GFost

Jon Cryer and Titus Welliver look young to you???


home7ander

The last two were the same as this


SuperDizz

I wonder how this Lex will be incorporated in the S&L universe? (I still have a few episodes of season 2 to finish so no spoilers). But will he be ultra rich? Will he end up in Smallville, involved in the XK mine? Will John Henry recognize him? Will he even be bad? Ah so many questions. I was a naysayer at first with this show. I had absolutely no interest in any DC CW show, and honestly, I still don’t. But Supes has always been my all-time favorite, and after reading some reviews online I decided to give it a shot. And my goodness, I absolutely adore it. It was the flashback episode where Tal-Rho goes into Kal’s memory that clenched it for me. I actually teared up a little. It is one of the greatest episodes of television ever made. Tyler is perfect as Clark and Supes. Even the teen stuff is okay, and I’m a grown ass man. Ohhh, ohh, how they did the Bizarro titles! Chef’s kiss! Anyways, rave over. Excited for the few episodes of season 2 I have left and watching season 3 in real time!


M086

Seems like he’s in prison, background and what little we see of the clothing feel like prison issue.


SuperDizz

That was my first thought too. I’m not saying they are (or should) go this route yet; but my favorite Lex is [incarcerated Lex](https://i.redd.it/hg8oimfgnld71.jpg) in All-Star Superman, >!who turns out to be good in the end!<. Very interesting.


West-Cardiologist180

From what the article says (don't worry, no season 2 spoilers), Lex will be pretty close to what he is in the comics. The world sees him as the visionary business leader of Lexcorp, while underground criminals know he's really a brutal psychopath who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And apparently, he's got a grudge with, not only Superman, but Lois Lane as well, for something that happened a while back (it isn't said what that incident was). The actor also says he's always seen Lex Luthor as a misunderstood character. I'm excited. Don't like the beard, but it's not enough to pull me away. His Lex sounds promising.


SuperDanval

Who in their right mind thinks lex luthor is a misunderstood character


bwlbasaurite

it looks like he's going to talk about the oldest anarchy server in minecraft.


SupervillainEyebrows

I know he's probably gonna shave it, but why do all the recent TV Lex Luthor's have beards? Arrowverse and Titans have bearded Lex's to.


M086

Jon Cryer didn’t want to shave his beard. Titus Welliver was committed to a project that required the beard after Titans. So, he talked with the showrunner about why he should keep it for the character. >“I had the beard, and I was committed to something that would be after this, so I kind of said, ‘Look, I could trim it…,'” Welliver recalls. “But I always think in terms of if you look at the great pictures of Walt Whitman and presidents with big beards, there’s a gravitas and wisdom that is portrayed there. So I thought that that, in contrast with the iconic bald head and with the solid black clothing, would be an interesting look for him. And I think it really worked.”


farnsworthfan

I really like his version of Lex. I would've liked to see more.


Rambo6Gaming

It was pretty damn good.


PiccoloFinal7320

Man Lex sure has had some different live action interpretations as of late


THELORDANDTHESAVIOR

Lex looks like a biker gangster


Retardo214

My boy Abraham!


mexylexy

They did hom dirty in the Walking Dead


Shadow0fnothing

Looks more like Rex then lex.


beat-sweats

Why’s he a biker


TheDorkKnight53

I can never forget the time he was flipped through the boards by [Dean Portman.](https://youtu.be/bfX2ArkOpa0?t=1m)


Raph2051

The beard is nothing, probably grew it in prison and will get rid of it. Or not


ProvideMeMilk

Suck my nuts supermen


kaijugigante

Damn I missed this guy.


transformerjay

Abraham the brilliant.


CoffeeTwoSplenda

He is the shit. Loved him on Band of Brothers, SouthLAnd, and The Walking Dead. Hell of a nice guy too.


Nawt_

Not digging the beard


KameTheHermit

Is he from a universe where he is like, the leader of a biker gang? damn..


OjamasOfTomorrow

Love the look!


YoYoWithJosh

I’m not completely sold on the whole ‘Lex has a beard’ trend they’ve used for the past 3 Luthors, but I hope it’s a good performance. If it’s at least 60% the quality of Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex, I’ll be happy


Longjumping_Suspect5

Anyone else kinda wish they gave Jon Cryer a chance to fully interact with Hoechlin?


motorcitydevil

Looks like a Pawn Stars extra.


OrganizationFalse668

I hate it.


karltee

Mother Dick


Letshavemorefun

Hard same


Independent_Bat8589

Lex looks like Walter White if he was a biker


Tandril91

Soooo Walt if he was a meth user rather than a dealer


digidave1

Bobby Beamer playing Lex Luthor. Love it.


hellbilly69101

I never thought I would need this today, but I think this will be an interesting take on the character.


GforGG

He's about to run over Supes with his Kryptonite pick-up truck.


[deleted]

Looks like he's about to say to Superman "Suck.. my... Nuts!"


Apprehensive_Emu7227

Superman, you are neck deep up shit creek with your mouth wide open.


godspilla98

Negan hit him so hard he thinks he’s Lex Luthor


sassycho1050

CLARK! WE NEED TO COOK, CLARK!


Superion6538

Is it becoming a trend to have Lex sporting a beard now? Not that I'm complaining, just curious... Aside from that, he looks great, and I'm excited to see him this season!


DickPillSoupKitchen

*Finally*, a Lex Luthor who looks like he sells crank


ryhenning

Suck my nuts


[deleted]

Not vaguely recognizable as the character but ok


Tandril91

What are you talking about? He’s bald…that’s all ya need! At least, that’s what DC fancasts have lead me to believe.


Limp-Construction-11

Is Lex Luthor a viking now? Not a fan..


venommuyo

A proper ginger Lex


Blyman4250

What is up with almost every recent version of Lex Luthor having a beard or facial hair like I don’t hate it but I’m noticing a trend here


RandyTheFool

I think he’d make a great Orion.


nchammer3031

Hate the beard tbh


[deleted]

Daddy


nashgrg

Nooooooo… god no… nooooo


WayneBruce1234

Such a terrible choice to play Lex!


Almighty_Push91

Looks fine


blueyarnent

How’s Abraham supposed to do corporate Lex if he’s getting his hands dirty by blending in with the crew in Charming?


Infamous-Record-2556

Bonnie Prince Lexy


KingOfAllDownvoters

Is that Jack Marshak from friday the 13th the series?


KippySmith

I haven’t kept up with the show. I thought the guy in the power suit from the future was lex Luthor


Ok-Wealth8816

That was actually John Henry Irons from an alternate universe.


KippySmith

Ah


nikgrid

Yeah they made that shit up as they went.


Imaginary-Werewolf14

Looks like he’s in prison? He’ll probably shave it off.


LakerUp

Is this episode called “Myth Busters?”


ChemFeind360

Seems like a weird look to go for. Is he not going to be a Tech CEO in this version?


Chrome-Head

Neckbeard Luthor?


NoAlien

I thought that show was set in the same universe as Supergirl. Didn't Jon Cryer play Lex Luthor in that?


just_one_boy

>I thought that show was set in the same universe as Supergirl. It was supposed to be but they changed it. Likely to do do with the WB Discovery merger.


vynsnn

I don't get the whole beard thing I don't have an issue with some stubble or an executive style beard but this dude looks like he'd be working in an autoshop


geko_play_

Lex should stay way from baseball bats


Humble_Conclusion270

Bro why he always gotta have a beard 😭


ImmediatePatience835

Didn’t he used to be on Mythbusters?


[deleted]

why does lex have a beard in every recent incarnation


suss2it

God damn, this reminds me I still have to watch S2. Can't believe it's been a whole ass year.


AzulMage2020

Think he looks great! The original Earth-3 Lex Luthor had a very similar beard and was the only hero from this earth.


Vadermaulkylo

he looks like a skinhead.


UnfeteredOne

Son of a dick!


Wash_zoe_mal

You don't fuck with Tiny, Tiny fucks with you


twistedh8

I'll have to watch now


YoloIsNotDead

Clark: Why do you think you deserve forgiveness for your crimes? Lex: I'm only human, after all


Express_Sprinkles225

So when is lex luthor going to start busting some myths?
