Before Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice was released, fans had to gauge the latest interpretation of Lex Luthor from trailers, television spots, and Jesse Eisenberg's vague answers, but since the film was released months ago, Eisenberg can now open up about his take on the character.

"What I wanted to do with the character is kind of what I want to do in this play, which is I want to humanise these people that you have seen ... dehumanized," Eisenberg explained at MCM Comic Con in London on Sunday. "I wanted to make these people real and relatable and interesting and engaging, not just, you know, a surface bad person. To me, the most interesting acting is when actors can bring you into that other side of the person. When you feel like you are not just seeing the kind of purpose of them for plot. That they are not just delivering a message. They're actually showing you humanity. And that's what I tried to do with that character. Whether or not I succeeded or failed depends on your subjective opinion on what you think of people like that. That's my goal as an actor."

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before. Directed by Zack Snyder, the film also stars Oscar nominees Amy Adams ("American Hustle," "Man of Steel") as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg ("The Social Network") as Lex Luthor, Diane Lane ("Unfaithful," "Man of Steel") as Martha Kent, and Laurence Fishburne ("What's Love Got to Do with It," "Man of Steel") as Perry White; Oscar winners Jeremy Irons ("Reversal of Fortune") as Alfred, and Holly Hunter ("The Piano") as Senator Finch; and Gal Gadot (the "Fast and Furious" films) as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince.
