42 – Understanding Lex Luthor
Manage episode 125379670 series 123969
Lex wasn’t just manic and unhinged, but a calculating criminal mastermind. Understanding and walking through Lex’s motives and machinations.
But first, two critical approaches: fault-finding vs. seeking. Superman’s status quo in-story and Superman cinematic strategy. Then was BvS joyless? A quick joke list.
Answers, insights, and commentary on:

- Superman is honored and loved before BvS – status quo
- How does BvS position Superman for JL?

- How metahumans change Lex’s plan
- Why Lex doesn’t just kill Superman
- What was Lex trying to accomplish in Africa
- Why Lex isn’t worried about being traced
- Why the evidence was suppressed
- Superman didn’t kill the General rescuing Lois
- Why ask for an import license if smuggling it
- How Senator Finch pushes Lex’s buttons
- How Bruce is “blind as a bat” in the light
- Lex intended for Bruce to steal the files
- Why Lex has a meltdown during his speech
- How Lex fools Finch, Bruce, Mercy, Keefe, & Clark
- Why Batman and Superman weren’t in Lex’s files
- Why Bruce doesn’t suspect conspiracy with Keefe
- Why it takes Lois to trace Keefe to Lex
- Why Lex bombing the Senate hearing is brilliant
- Why Lex didn’t enter the Ship after the fingerprints
- Why Lex did enter the Scout Ship after the bombing
- How Lex transcends into a supervillain
