Jesse Eisenberg, the actor to portray Lex Luthor in the highly anticipated 'Batman V Superman' film had some very controversial words for his personal experience at this year's Comic-Con.

"It is like being screamed at by thousands of people. I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide," he told the Associated Press. "I can't think of anything that's equivalent."

This was the actor's first time at the overwhelming event, and while his reaction to the convention may have been well understood, his comparison to a mass killing of a group of people seemed to perturb many fans.

Eisenberg has commonly been referred to as quite the introvert, rendering his experience a bit out of the ordinary. He has since cleared up his statement in another interview with the Associated Press.

"Maybe on some cellular memory level, that's the only thing that seems like an equivalent social experience," he said. "Even if they're saying nice things, just being shouted at by thousands of people, it's horrifying."

"I of course was using hyperbole to describe the sensory overload I experienced," he continues. "I sometimes do employ that. I'm a normal person who has normal sensory experiences, so Comic-Con was very overwhelming for me. That said, it was really an honor to be on that end of such jubilation."

"I've been on the receiving end of movies that no one loves and no one anticipates. That's worse, even though it's a much quieter press tour."
