A 40 page slideshow makes av club the worst villain. 

Frank Gorshin totally rules, dude.

Those dastards snubbed KGBeast from BVSDOJ!

It really is another one of those “copy the damn animated series!” moments. All those years in S:TAS with Lex being just a big, power hungry and egomaniac CEO who slowly gets pushed to more extremes was amazing. His hatred, fear and respect for Superman came through great, and it was believable when he finally snapped…

GREAT SCOTT!

My problem isn’t so much with Eisenberg’s performance so much as the character he’s portraying. It felt more like somewhere in between Ledger’s Joker and Leto’s Joker. Lex Luthor may be obsessive and arrogant but he was never maniacally unhinged to the heights of Eisenberg’s run.

Very true.

This being Leverage, a “Nate was faking his death all along” plotline isn’t exactly out of the question.

I can only assume that he filed this lawsuit instead of hiring a team of ex-cons to infiltrate the production company, hack its computer system, and release all the details of the negotiation.  The latter only makes for better-than-average TV.

I almost wish he’d been a bit weirder in the movie; Keaton still reigns as the most genuinely eccentric-seeming Bruce Wayne, IMHO.

Regardless of opinions of how well he played the role, I feel like it’s hard to argue that Christian Bale wasn’t at least well cast as both Batman and Bruce Wayne.

Even as a kid I was impressed with Conroy's ability to modulate between “Bruce Wayne voice” (warm, even avuncular) and “Batman voice” (genuinely deep and menacing, without resorting to a gravelly growl that sounds like he’s about to hack something up).

Dowd flourishes his cape and disappears into the dark of night one last time. Godspeed, sir. Until the critic-signal appears in the clouds again, we’ll be watching.

Kevin Conroy is still the best Batman casting.

First time ever? It's 2022. Where the fuck have you been? 

Thank you for everything. Here’s hoping you and the rest find outlets that truly appreciate your talents. Just gave you a follow on Twitter and will happily follow you wherever you land.

you did great work. i appreciate it.

Hey folks. I just wanted to drop in and say thank you to everyone here for all the kind words, and also for reading what I’ve written at The A.V. Club these past nine years. I know I wasn’t always the most consistent presence in the comments, even before the Kinja transition, but I dipped in fairly regularly, and for…

I think Jennifer Lawrence was even less believable in “American Hustle.”

Jennifer Lawrence was so not believable in that movie.
