Whether you liked or disliked it, there's no doubt that Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor will go down as a memorable one. The second foray into the DC Cinematic Universe sees Luthor trying to take down Superman in the final act by creating Doomsday from the body of General Zod and his own blood. IGN caught up with Eisenberg to ask him why Lex decides to create Doomsday in the first place.

“I think Lex becomes increasingly unhinged throughout the movie” he explained. “I also think he’s a guy who has 40 back-up plans and so when one thing doesn’t work out he has another and if that doesn’t work out he has another, which is why I think he never feels that threatened by Superman and Batman because he knows he always has the leverage and his final act, in my opinion; and this is now thinking back a year-and-a-half – was this kind of like last-ditch effort to leave it all on the table.”

What did you think of Lex being Doomsday's creator? Would you have rather seen Lex's classic battle suit instead? Sound off below!

Great actor, great performance... the character itself is divisive at best but I personally loved it.

Worst version of Lex ever. I never liked the casting from the beginning. It did grow on me but I still had doubts.
