Movie/TV Series thoughts mostly in the form of very long threads. DC Comics fan. After #ZackSnyderJusticeLeague, here to #RestoretheSnyderVerse

It’s a new Monday, so time for a new entry to the #BatmanvSuperman references to the DC lore series. Today is the turn for Unlocking the Scout Ship scene in the 🧵 below! #RestoreTheSnyderVerse #BvSMondayMood

Very classical moment for Lex as he interacts with Kryptonian technology and try to unlock all its power and knowledge. Love this small scene and Jesse Eisenberg acting nails so much Lex’s fears but also hunger for knowledge and power.

Of course, this happens several times across different media (comics, TV shows, movies) in Superman stories. Wanted to share three of those that I thought had some significance. We start with the first time ever Lex uses Kryptonian tech in the comics in Superman #74 (from 1951).

Then, we also have Lex in Birthright #8 and #12 Lex creates a technology to interact with Kryptonian images in the past. Want to include this reference as Birthright is an important inspiration for Lex in #BvS.

And finally, wanted to share that the last time Lex Luthor appeared in a live action movie he also interacted with Kryptonian technology (with the crystals) in Superman Returns. Lex does like to interact with Kryptonian tech it seems!

That’s it for today with this small scene. Remember if you like this thread or any previous ones, consider donating to the @afspnational Autumn Snyder Fund. Every small amount counts to raise awareness for this cause! supporting.afsp.org/index.cfm?fuse…
