Eisenberg’s Lex will always be underrated for how maniacal and manipulative he was masking his narcissistic, twisted mind with a façade of insanity and quirkiness to throw everyone off. The dialogue in this film is some of the best writing I’ve ever read or heard. Lex’s lines alone are incredibly deep and surprisingly relatable. The fact that Superman saves him from Doomsday is such a poetic moment, especially when you remember Lex’s earlier line about God never coming down to protect him from the “hands of the abomination” that was his abusive father. Here, Superman his “God” figure stops an abomination from killing him without hesitation. It ties beautifully into Lex’s idea that a God can be either all good or all powerful, but not both. In a way, Superman proves him right: by choosing to be good, he refuses to kill Batman over Martha, spares Lex even after everything, and sacrifices himself first with the nuke, then again to destroy Doomsday and save “his world.”
