If they really wanted to reboot/recast Lex Luthor as a character, maybe they could pull a version of that stunt from the 1990s comics where he had cloned himself into a younger body and later returned to his normal state. It was somewhat concurrent with the "Death/Rebirth of Superman" arc, so there's a precedent for it.

Even as a fan of the Donner movies, I have to admit Eisenberg's Lex was scarier and more sinister than Gene Hackman was (though Eisenberg had better material to work with).

If they did the Matrix/Linda Danvers version of Supergirl that was Lex's pawn in those 90s comics, all the casual TV fans would probably cry foul.
