how a young Lex Luthor can work!

I have heard complaints about Jesse Eisenberg being lex Luthor. reasons, being that he is too young for example. I have said my thoughts on Batfleck so, I thought. why not Jessex Eisuthor too! 

first of all, number 1. in modern comics, Lex Luthor actually grew up in Smallville and was one of Clark's friends. and when we look at Jesse Eisenberg as lex Luthor...I can actually say that I feel he can be close to clark's age, rather then some comic versions were he seems older. 

number 2. DC with their universe here, is trying to make things seem a bit realistic , while also respecting the source material, as I have explained before. and Lex Luthor is a billionaire, and unlike Bruce Wayne who inherited Wayne Enterprises, Lex Build Lexcorp from scratch. he started as nothing, and did everything to become where he is today. if we look at people like that around today, many of them, from what I have heard, isn't exactly the oldest of guys! true, they could have made Lex older but then, that would be a bit disrespect to the source material, cause then they would have had to remove lex and clark being childhood friends, for that to work. 

3. Even if Lex is young, he can still be menacing, and the evil genius, he is in the comics. Don't believe me? take a look of this clip from smallville.

So...yeah. the point is, that I feel that people shouldn't complain about him being young. cause a young Lex Luthor can actually work, and one more thing, MANY people tend to forget. Something that works in comics, doesn't make it work in a movie, which is why changes like this HAS to be made! Take the green goblin for example, would you consider him to be a menace in a live action movie, if he wore the EXACT same costume, made of the EXACT same material he wore as the goblin in the very first early comics? NO! cause in a live action movie, that WOULD Really make it look like just a halloween costume! 

and thats my thoughts on a young Lex Luthor! if you disagree, fine! But Im giving Eisenberg a chance! I have seen him act, and I think he's a good actor, and can do this! Cheers!
