'Batman V Superman's' Lex Luthor Mentions A.R.G.U.S. And Arrow; Thinks Batman Is 'Cowardly'

"Batman V Superman's" Lex Luthor sat down with Wired's fictional journalist, Ron Troupe, to discuss his new operating system, Lex/OS, Batman and rival corporations.

"Suffice it to say the dangers we've been talking about are very real. And they're not just limited to a couple of alien brawlers able to level tall buildings in a single bout," Luthor said. "I'm ready to sit down with whatever task force the government has assembled - in the interest of sharing intelligence and building solutions together.

"If she... they... Argus... the government, whatever you want to call it, has a real interest in fighting for the future, they ought to work with those of us who are already on the front lines."

According to Screen Rant, Luthor might be refering to the Advanced Research Group United Support, an organization which consists of corrupt U.S. officials to deal with major threats. The organizations is headed by Amanda Waller, who also formed the Suicide Squad.

The young billionaire also touched on Batman.

"Any objective analyst will tell you that his brand of justice, vigilantism, is painfully outmoded, designed to be effective in an age when the law carried billy clubs because crime carried knives," Luthor explained. "The most dangerous guy on the street worked in the shadows because he was cowardly and superstitious."

"That's all you needed to play upon in order to disrupt their operations. You want to clean up the streets? Dress up like the boogeyman, switch on a fog machine and lower your voice."

Furthermore, Lex Luthor also mentioned Wanye Enterprises and Queen Industries as LexCorps' competition - the latter, of course, is the corporation owned by Oliver Queen a.k.a. Green Arrow, who was also involved with A.R.G.U.S.

Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor debuts in "Batman V Superman" on March 25, 2016.
