Superman has been called many things, from the defender of Truth, Justice and the American way to the Big Blue Boy Scout. In LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL, he is called something he never been called before: a threat to all humanity! In this trade paperback collecting the acclaimed 5-issue miniseries LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL, fan-favorite writer Brian Azzarello (SUPERMAN, 100 BULLETS) teams up with artist Lee Bermejo (BATMAN/DEATHBLOW) for a bold story in which readers get a glimpse into the mind of Superman's longtime foe. MAN OF STEEL reveals why Luthor chooses to be the proverbial thorn in the Man of Steel's side - to save humanity from an untrustworthy alien being.

At the end of the day, Lex Luthor wins 9/10 times. Unlike the rest of us who are capable of cutting our losses, however, Luthor wants to make it so that he wins 11 out of those 10 times.

@threex0xthree Месяц назад

@@fynnthefox9078 I mean, in Lex's defense, if you come between him and his work (and, ergo, make me bald as a result of it. I know that's not how it happened, but still go w me on this), one would kind of get pissed a little too.

@thepanelbiter9915 8 лет назад

This is actually one of my favorite books, I've read it before this episode and it really got me into Lex's character. I know he's all ego, but I still find it reasonable that a man who had to work physically and mentally to get the power he has is overshadowed by a man who was given his power. I find that idea of Superman preventing human progression to be really interesting.

@haremfanatic1014 6 лет назад

The other masterful element to the book is how this is all in Lex’s perspective. Usually with superman and his supporting characters, we know Clark merely wishes to help people with his abilities while inspiring others to do right. It’s this thought that gives the story a great sense of Irony. One man who believes his own ideals fighting An Ideal of man. Even superman admits Lex could’ve saved the world years ago if he didn’t hold such hatred for him. Which honestly puts lex in the top ten villains for me. Along with the book in superman stories.

@christianbryant7225 4 года назад

Harem Fanatic101 well thankfully this is in lex perspective but is this in the same universe as the joker book

@ducdantalion2317 7 лет назад

I kind of what a Captain Cold version, just him and the Rogues planing to rob a bank, and get arrested by the Flash. During the story, Captain just talk about his relationship with Flash, their rivalry almost friendship but also his with the other Rogues. The introduction can just be them playing poker and planing. it could be used to introduce all the Rogues and some backstories. I imagine the end just him in a cell smiling, knowing he will escape or be release, and that his game of cat and mouse with the Flash will start again.

@matthewrascoe8690 7 лет назад

I wish they did Wonder Woman´s Ares as a rise as an arms dealer before WW comes to Man`s World. Him working his way through Africa and Eastern Europe always playing both sides while hiding his true nature. Just to finish the Trinity. But like your idea.

@stephengrant4841 8 лет назад

+dracowheelz5 fucking good too. Batman has become the dumbest comic character imo. They make him ridiculously OP for no reason other than hes popular. I never ever liked the idea of him beating Superman. If done right, it makes sense. But when he can fight the whole JL its pure bullshit. I prefer his early days fighting gangsters and mobsters.

@tacoman1311 6 лет назад

I gotta say, I kind of like this book more than the Joker one. Because Joker feels a little too different from more mainline versions of the character, but this version of Luthor is really close in terms of portrayal to more mainstream versions of him.

So this is batman v superman lex the getting people to do thing the fact that he knows who batman is and being the way batman gets kryptonite to creating a pod thing to go agents sups. And I don't know if it was in the movie or the extras for it but saying that humanity would be less inclined to evolve or be batter bec sups showed up was the motivation for the movie lex.

This particular comic run would make for some solid inspiration for Nicholas Hoult’s upcoming take on the Lex in James Gunn’s Superman movie as it would allow for a new twist on the character and allow us to understand him more just the evil businessman he’s been often seen as in the live action movies
