We’re about six months away from Batman Vs. Superman, and now WB has launched the first viral marketing campaign for the movie which kicks off with Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor.
A Lex Luthor LexCorp Twitter Account has been created which links to an article over at Fortune featuring a LexCorp sponsored article with: “Lex Luthor Jr.: Not Just His Father’s LexCorp.” The article features an “interview” with Lex, which makes mention of Lex Sr. having passed away and more.
“Well, Dad was a complicated guy,” his down-to-Earth son notes as we pass a tasteful display of his world-famous collection of meteorite crystals. “He came from a country where the government, in the guise of protector, had absolute control over the citizens. That drove him. I get it. Heck, I’d hate to see that sort of thing happen over here.”
.@FortuneMagazine Looking forward to reading about #LexCorp. Father would be proud. http://t.co/esCqzVAaAz
