![]() At least, until a fire broke out in Luthor’s lab. Back when Superman was a mere Superboy, he met Lex Luthor and the two made an instant connection. Twenty years later, Superman co-creator Jerry Seigel finally got around to explaining the baldness. Not long after, Nowak was assigned to Superman #10 and replicated the same goof. One such artist, Leo Nowak, suffered a history-making brain fart and accidentally drew Luthor as bald in Superman’s newspaper comic strip. Original Superman artist Joe Shuster couldn’t handle the mass amounts of work coming in and farmed some of it out to ghost artists. Here’s where Luthor’s hair history takes an unexpected turn. The comic itself is pretty straightforward- Luthor tries to take over the world, kidnaps Lois Lane, yadda yadda yadda, ends up crashing his dirigible. In April 1940, he appeared for the first time in Action Comics #23, sporting kind of a Friar Tuck ‘do (the robe certainly isn’t helping). So let’s journey through the years of haired Luthors, both in print and onscreen. I’m told that the scenes shot take place towards the beginning of the movie… so maybe there’s still a chance that Lex Luthor could show up bald by the end?īatman v Superman’s Luthor may have doofus hair, but at least he’s among friends- most non-bald Luthors end up looking at least mildly ridiculous. Eisenberg’s Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a 20-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day. It’s not Eisenberg’s typical curly look – it’s a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it’s dirty blonde. ![]() But can you imagine that hair when he’s angry? Like, pounding on a desk or pointing a finger in an anti-Superman frenzy? Do you think the individual locks might bounce a little?Īstoundingly, Batman News called this a year ago.Ī source tells Batman News that Eisenberg has “a lot of hair”. The blue polka dot style that, yeah, kinda makes sense for an eccentric billionaire prodigy. The set jaw and puckered-in cheekbones of Zoolander doing Blue Steel. He’s got the wavy, sun-dried locks of a California beach bruh. One of them shows Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor in an extremely pre-bald state. Just in case, here you go: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Presumably you know what I’m referring to if you’ve glanced at the image above. I genuinely tried (for a solid ten seconds, I really did), but it’s just not happening. I can’t take luscious, goldilocked Lex Luthor seriously.
