Weekly Question – Best Lex Luthor 07/14/16
Ah, Lex Luthor, Superman’s and possibly the DC Universes biggest adversary. A character that gone through so many looks and iterations but always one motivation, to have it all.
Unlike last week’s Doctor Doom, while Lex sees himself as the hero of his own story, he’s patently incorrect. And also unlike Doctor Doom, he’s actually had (at least) one good live action portrayal.
But for many, most people know Luthor from the variety of DC Animated Serieses from the 90’s. You know, Batman: the Animated Series is so good, I think people don’t give Superman: the Animated Series a fair shake.
I am always so surprised in the comics how easily the populous of the DCU fall for Lex’s shtick. They even voted him President of the USA.
So our question to you, dear listener, what is the best Lex Luthor? Best look? Best story? Whatever!
