But his EYES. Watch Jesse Eisenberg’s fucking eyes, especially in that first GIF. Watch how they’re flitting around and at the same time, very intentional and focused on their movements, like he’s WATCHING something that isn’t there.

In that moment, Lex isn’t even completely talking to Clark anymore. He’s completely immersed in the memory he’s recounting, because that’s what happens to victims of abuse.
