Joker-styled Lex Luthor movie concept
Had a thought what would a Joker like Lex Luthor movie look like. Let's say this movie ever happens. This is what I think it could be.
I think it would be a mix of House Of Cards, Wall Street, Succession and Wolf Of Wall Street. and hey you can use Vince McMahon and Donald Trump as inspirations for Lex.
Showing the domineering and abusive upbringing that turned Lex into the monster he is. Showing how Lex started small, became a cut throat businessman, eliminated the competition, eliminated his father's business partners until the Luthors are on top and when no one else is there, Lex eliminates his father, rebrand Luthorcorp to Lexcorp and becomes the Man Of Steel and builds Metropolis from the ground up.
Add in Lena Luthor. Lex uses the manipulative, gaslighting and abusive tatics Lioniel used on him on Lena to keep her under his thrall while Lena is slowly planning to bring him down.
I'd cast Mark Strong or Billy Zane for Lex Luthor
Robert Patrick for Lionel Luthor
Sigourney Weaver for Lillian Luthor
Ali Stroker for Lena Luthor.
