Supergirl Reveals First Photo of Jon Cryer’s Lex Luthor

Lex Luthor is finally making his Supergirl debut on March 17, and The CW has released the first photo of Jon Cryer as Superman’s arch-nemesis.

Check out Cryer’s Lex below.

Cryer has a storied history with the Luthor family – he played Lenny, Lex’s nephew, in the 1987 film Superman IV: The Quest for Peace alongside Gene Hackman, but now he gets a swing at the iconic role himself.

But after being namedropped for years on Supergirl, how will Lex finally enter the Arrowverse? Unsurprisingly, it’s a family matter. According to The CW, Lex will make his first appearance in episode 415, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” when he reaches out from prison to enlist his sister Lena (Katie McGrath) into one of his plans “and will stop at nothing to get her on board, even if that means leveraging the life of one of her friends.”

Supergirl airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on The CW. For more on the Arrowverse, check out our predictions for the 2019 “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover, the best DC references, and what you need to know about The Monitor and Anti-Monitor.

25: \u201cFalling\u201d (Supergirl S1E16) – One of the hallmarks of the Superman franchise is that both Clark and his cousin tend to have bad reactions when exposed to the many colored variations of Kryptonite. That was the basis of this Season 1 episode, as exposure to red Kryptonite brought out Kara\u0027s dark side. It\u0027s a lot of fun seeing Melissa Benoist take such an evil turn, but this episode mined its premise for drama as well as laughs. For a series that routinely struggled to find itself during its first year, this episode served as a welcome sign of what was possible. \r\n

By the end, viewers are left to wonder how Barry Allen can possibly hope to outrun this twisted, demonic-voiced speedster from another world. Fortunately, that darkness is balanced out by an entertaining storyline involving Linda Park being groomed to take the place of her evil Earth-2 counterpart.\r\n

It\u0027s uproariously entertaining, particularly when Victor Garber\u0027s Professor Stein begins belting out an impromptu musical number in NASA mission control. But the character drama also flows hot and heavy here, whether it\u0027s the focus on Eobard Thawne\u0027s villainous motivations or Nate Heywood\u0027s struggle with meeting his own grandfather in his prime.\r\n

Early on, the show struggled a great deal with introducing villains worthy of Barry Allen himself. That changed in the fourth episode, as Wentworth Miller made his debut as Leonard Snart, aka Captain Cold. Miller\u0027s intense performance immediately made Snart stand out from the crowd, while this episode also forced Cisco to wrestle with the knowledge that one of his inventions was being perverted. Snart may not have spent long as an actual villain in the Arrowverse, but he did enjoy a strange, compelling journey that wouldn\u0027t have been possible without the groundwork established in this episode.\r\n

This episode does a fantastic job of slowly building to that climactic showdown, before delivering one of the more tense and dramatic fight scenes in the show\u0027s long history. Considering that this episode ends with a giant cliff-side battle, perhaps it\u0027s fitting that Season 3 was all downhill from this point.\r\n

Somehow, the series found a way to celebrate that milestone while still furthering the conflict between Earth\u0027s heroes and the Dominators. An extended dream sequence allowed Oliver Queen to reconnect with his dead friends and family, and for the entirety of Team Arrow to do battle with some of their worst enemies. In many ways, this episode works as a better adaptation of the classic Superman story \u0022For the Man Who Has Everything\u0022 than Supergirl\u0027s official adaptation. \r\n

This episode makes great use of the culture clash that comes when Team Flash heads to Starling City and butts heads with Team Arrow. From Cisco geeking out about the \u0022Arrow Cave\u0022 to Diggle\u0027s awkward reaction to metahuman powers, this crossover gave Arrow a much-needed injection of fun. \u0022The Brave and the Bold\u0022 also makes particularly strong use of Nick Tarabay\u0027s Captain Boomerang as the villain.\r\n

Nowhere was that topic handled better than this episode, as Kara\u0027s role as defender of the common man became ever more important. Two key scenes really elevate this episode. First, the emotionally charged reunion between Alex and her long-lost father, Jeremiah. Second, Kara\u0027s heroic near-sacrifice in the climax, giving the Danvers sisters a moment straight out of The Wrath of Khan. \r\n

That tragic moment caps off years of growth for the character, as Snart evolved from selfish thief and antagonist to Team Flash to a willing hero and defender of the timestream. His death in this episode is an emotional moment, to be sure, but also one that\u0027s continued to impact the series in numerous ways going forward. Plus, the fall of Captain Cold merely paved the way for the rise of Heat Wave.\r\n
