Everytime I exchange stories with friends about superman, the whole conversation will never be complete without mentioning one very significant character. Yep, you got that right. It’s that very smart and wise villain named Lex Luthor.

However, I can’t help but compare between 2 well known and highly respected actors who potrayed the role very well, Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey. Well, we all know how highly acclaimed of an actor Kevin really is. I mean, this guy is not only an academy award winner, he is a multi academy award winner. I also must admit that he is one of my favorites. On the other hand, Gene Hackman has been a very effective and consistent actor doing his own niche. When it comes to being tough, annoying, and quite mismannered role – Gene is really good at these characters, I know kevin is good at these too guys but I must make a decision between the 2 fellows. I strongly believe that Gene Hackman is the best ever Lex Luthor of all times.
