“He’s like a child who hasn’t yet been told how the world works and has a juvenile sense of propriety. If you take its toy away, the initial reaction is not anger, it’s probably confusion.
He’s a person who is struggling with real existential crises about his abusive childhood about his, let’s say, perverse Freudian associations with Superman and his need for power in an unstable world. This is a character who becomes increasingly Machiavellian and unhinged.”
– Jesse Eisenberg on Lex Luthor
