Villain with Good Publicity and Lex Luthor use the same image. Maybe the former could be replaced with this.

It took me a while to figure out that's not supposed to be Walter White. Just sayin'.

A fan manip using an actor who'll probably never play the role? C'mon, there has to be something better than that.

That doesn't look like a problem to me. Assuming that Lex's well-known enough to be a villain, the poster looks suitable with that parading appearance and text.

I like the suggestion.

I'm going to reiterate my very enthusiastic [tdown]. As a page pic, it's amateurish and frankly silly.

Clock is set. I recognize the inherent problems with the Luthor pic, but in lieu of a better suggestion I think it's better than nothing.

I don't. That is a picture of actor Bryan Cranston playing the character Walter White, who is initially bald because of chemotherapy, but keeps that look (and also grows a goatee) as the series progresses. Someone took that picture and made it look like a magazine cover about Lex Luthor. The execution is fine but the concept is amateurish.

Presumably it might not be confusing to someone who hasn't seen Breaking Bad, but it's potentially extremely confusing to someone who has.

I vote that the "Lex for President" painting be kept on Villain with Good Publicity, and that Lex Luthor be left without a page image, unless someone suggests something that is better than nothing.

Alright, so we are all upset that Jesse Eisenburg will be portraying Lex Luthor, as opposed to someone more diabolical like Bryan Cranston, but Villain with Good Publicity should have either what's on there or the one from Lex Luthor. Here are some alternative for Lex Luthor: [1][2][3][4]

I like that first linked Luthor pic.

^^^ The first is too small and the second is too big :) How about something between them? 350 tall: [1] (Also brightened / color-corrected. Auto Levels is magic.)

What's wrong with both using the same image? They both fit.

[up] Generally, we try to keep page images unique whenever possible. A work page and trope page can have the same pic, but it's better if they don't.

I'm fine with 10.1 as well.

Re-clocked; anyone else for/against 10.1?

Here's 10.1 unaltered. Width is 321.

[down] Try at 275.

For his own page? Yes. Could probably be a little smaller, but it's fine.

Edit: Yes, that's better. Unless you need the extra detail, I find that vertical images are best at about 350 px height.

Alright, the new clock's up and we need to move. I've swapped in the smaller version of 10.1 on Luthor's SD page. Locking up.
