Tech bros are the current rich villain archetypes because they are in real life and Jesse played one in The Social Network.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a factor in his casting as Luthor.

True. I don't love that for the character though.

His Luthor was fucking terrible, just his generic spastic character.

This. I thought he was the perfect villain. And it wasn't until after I was halfway though that I realized it was because he played Zuch. L

Basically the same character, and he's perfect at it.

No, his Zuch was a calm and callous jerk who screwed over anyone he could to come out ahead.

His Luthor was like his characters in Zombieland, Adventureland, and Now You See Me.
