As part of their viral marketing campaign, Warner Bros. Pictures has released, via Wired, a cool new interview, with LexCorp's CEO Lex Luthor. The interview doesn't reveal much about the film, but we do get a good sense of Lex's character and the type of Lex we'll see Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland) portray in Zack Snyder's highly anticipated Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. We also get his thoughts on the Batman as well as a couple cool name drops for things or people we may or may not see as the DC Extended Universe continues to expand, including Ron Troupe, Lucy Lane, and A.R.G.U.S. You can read the full interview HERE.
