The Eisenberg one is kind of misleading because he only becomes bald at the end of the movie, and also the image says “Superman Vs Batman” instead of the actual film title of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”

It's also misleading because, while his character name was in fact Lex Luthor, he completely sucked balls and bore no resemblance to any reputable version of the character. And I should point out I do not dislike the actor, but that version just... failed in every way a character can fail.

IIRC they retconned it or something by saying he was actually Lex Jr., as if that makes it better. I really do dislike when adaptations don’t even try to bear semblance to the source material and the studio just slaps the recognizable name on them for marketing (ex. the MCU’s Taskmaster or their original attempt at The Mandarin)

Wasn't the whole point of The Mandarin in IM3 that he was a fake?

Yes, but until Shang-Chi, that was the MCU’s Mandarin, Potemkin or otherwise
