It still rings in my mind when Lex said to Clark in the Smallville season 10 finale "You and I...we will both be GREAT men, because of each other. We have a destiny together Clark, only on different sides"
Then Clark saying to Lex "And I'll always be there to stop you. Always." It gave me serious goosebumps...being a huge comics fan myself it brought some great images to my mind...
Lex Luthor...he may not be a fan-favorite of many but it cannot be denied that he is Superman's greatest opponent. Certainly not physically but he has been a cornerstone of Superman's life in nearly every comic and media-medium to date. He is Lex Luthor...bad...bald...and simply- BRILLIANT!!
Lex Luthor is a very intriguing villain because he feels that Superman is hindering mankind's progress. This is a side of Lex never quite explored in the films before...and it is definitely something I'd love to see played up! Observe pic below...
In regards to the former films...we have seen Lex get kinda 'hammed-up' over and over with land-games. Ok...let's see a REAL threatening Lex this time around. One who isn't all fun and games anymore. Here are my choices-
Now I'm quite certain none of these 3 will get the role. But it's always fun to speculate!
Lex Luthor...is not only an essential cornerstone of the Superman mythos...but he can really be quite the badass!
And this picture always kinda made me smile-
This editorial are just a collection of some of my personal thoughts on Lex Luthor...sort of a 'Lex Luthor appreciation' editorial piece I did. Vastly underrated by many here on CBM but he is without a doubt...'The villain of the story'
