I think that's the problem. Eisenberg has proven that he can play an intimidating character. He played a mentally unhinged Mark Zuckerberg in the Social Network, and while only downplaying his casting type, he still played a cunning, manipulative character. Hell, that movie was actually a more comic-accurate Lex than his actual Lex.

I also think the tone was a problem with this version of the character and what he did, much like Fant4stic. All the stuff he does is too ridiculous for even a comedy to take seriously, but the film treats it like it's supposed to be damaged and intimidating. For example, when he says "Ding ding ding!" you were supposed to be scared by that, not pissing your pants with laughter.
