The surviving heroes believed they were safe-ish, but then the other shoe dropped andRouths Man of Steelsuddenly died.

In other words, an already hopeless situation became even more dire.

Its perfect for Lex.

Its exactly how hes an asshole, Cryer tells EW of Lexs latest supervillain move.

I thought it was like that moment inAlienwhen the captains dies.

Oh hes in the pipe, and boom, hes dead.

Its totally an oh s moment, and I love that my character was the cause of it.

Thats about as bad as it gets.

So, I wasnt aware of how long people would be held in suspense.

Marvs interpretation of Lex Luthor, in particular, is genius.

What phenomenal, phenomenal material for Jon Cryer!

And Cryer agrees with Guggenheims assessment.

Lex gets to really stretch his legs in episode 4 and its great fun, says Cryer.

It is such an honor to be actually voicing Marv Wolfmans writing, as well as Marcs obviously.

I have such reverence for the guy from his comic work.

I was actually hoping to meet him at Comic Con this year because he was in artist alley.

I brought my daughter, she writes comic book as well, shes 10.

I was so excited, and he wasnt there!

Its driving me crazy.
