How come Eisenberg's Lex Luthor always gets singled out, but no one cares about Kevin Spacey's spectacularly bland and boring version of the character? Kevin Spacey might have been good were he able to give it his own spin. As it is Bryan Singer made a Richard Donner film and Spacey had to act like Gene Hackman as best he could. Might have been? He was good. He was smooth and calculating. |

This is a ridiculous comparison in my opinion.
BVS's take for Lex Luther was a millennial tech giant in the vein of Mark Zuckerberg. Who else would be at the top of the list other than the actor who was nominated for an Academy Award for playing Mark Zuckerberg? For all of BVS's problems, the casting was not one of them, much less Eisenberg's performance, it was the script and producers inability to reel the director in.
In Batman & Robin there was no take, Arnold Schwarzenegger wasn't playing a character, he was reciting one-liners while wearing a ridiculous costume. At that point it seemed the Batman movies were dead set on casting the most famous actors possible to play the villains and Arnold Schwarzenneger certainly met that criteria.

Because Eisenberg was spectacularly wrong for the role and looked like an ill kid going up against both Batman and Superman? While Kevin didn't? Well in theory yes, but I think Spacey's Luthor was just as bad. I don't think a boring, joyless portrayal such as Spacey's is necessarily better than a miscast, irritating portrayal such as Eisenberg's.
