Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor

Clockwise from bottom left: Superfriends Lex Luthor, John Shea from The Adventures of Lois and Clark,
Gene Hackman from Superman (1978), Clancy Brown voiced Luthor in Superman: The Animated Series,
Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville, and Kevin Spacey from Superman Returns.

Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive look at the first image of Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Where do you think he will rank in history compared to previous Luthors?

My personal favorite is Clancy Brown's voicing of Luthor from Superman: The Animated Series, followed by Gene Hackman's hammy performance from Superman and Superman II.
