We have some new interesting tidbits for Batman vs. Superman today. The Hollywood Reporter has posted an article that goes behind-the-scenes of Jesse’s Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and why Zack Snyder and company decided to go with a younger actor for the role. In the Man of Steel sequel, Luthor will be a childhood friend with Clark Kent, taking influence from recent depictions of their relationship.
