Se vanha DC Comicsin elokuvien maailma aloitti kohtuullisesti, mutta jonkinlainen alamäki alkoi viimeistään elokuvalla Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Lex Luthorin roolissa nähty Jesse Eisenberg on paljastanut Armchair Expertin yhteydessä, että rooli vahingoitti suoraan hänen uraansa.
Eisenbergin mukaan hänen suorituksestaan ei pidetty, mutta tällä kertaa rooli oli niin tunnettu ja julkinen, että sillä oli aivan uudenlainen vaikutus.
"I was in this Batman movie and the Batman movie was so poorly received, and I was so poorly received. I've never said this before and it's kind of embarrassing to admit but I genuinely think it actually hurt my career in a real way, because I was poorly received in something so public. I've been in poorly received things that just don't see the light of day, and for the most part, no one knows. But this was so public, and I don't read notices or reviews or movie press or anything, so I was unaware of how poorly it was received."
