Put this in the “awesome and funny” file: Last night on Twitter, Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville’s Lex Luthor) posted a link to a BuzzFocus article about who the next Lex Luthor should be. Here’s the Tweet:

Does this imply he’s interested? Or just playing around? Either way, fun to see some weighing in from one of the best Lex Luthors we’ve seen in any media.
You can read the BuzzFocus article here (how many sites have the word “Buzz” in them, anyway?) Our thanks to our friend Russell Burlingame at ComicBook.com for the tip.

I asked him about this on twitter last week or so right after I saw “The Man Of Steel” and didn’t get a tweet back. i asked if the roil was available would he want to do it 100%. I hope this is an indirect answer to my tweet. He would be fantastic in the roil and its not like he would be going in green. Also it would keep with the trend of having uber Smallville castes in the “Man Of Steel” movies lol. Here’s hopping!!

It would be great! I always thought that Micahel Rosenbaum played the best Lex!

he really is the best choice, but probably won’t get a shot because they don’t want to confuse fans and have them think its smallville’s superman.

Hell YES! Someone get Snyder on the line! MoS 2 featuring the return of Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor!
Rosenbaum not only captured Lex, but he redefined him. GO Smallville!
