San Diego Comic Con can be an overwhelming experience. There’s all of the thousands of attendees, anxiety about getting into the coveted Hall H, but if you’re upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice star, Jesse Eisenberg (as Lex Luthor), it’s downright awful–a “genocide” even.   

Eisenberg, best known for his Academy Award nominated performance as Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network (when he’s not getting confused for Hollywood’s other awkward white guy, Michael Cera), was at the premiere for his new film The End of The Tour when he talked to the Associated Press about his Comic Con experience where he was promoting Batman v Superman:

“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. I can’t think of anything that’s equivalent.”

Really? A mass slaughtering of people? Okay. And you thought Zuckerberg had social problems.
