First, Lex Luthor's reaction to Bruce Wayne's recent Batman announcement:



This next scene takes place after the pony scene that sherkahn posted:





And on the very last page of the issue, in Las Vegas:

Luthor really is DC's counterpart to Dr. Doom, isn't he: Absolutely brilliant. Absolutely convinced he knows what's best for the world. Equally convinced in the ends justify the means. Doesn't consider himself evil in the slightest. Considers his grudges and blindspots to be things his enemies dreamed up to justify standing in his way.

Excellent observation. Just that Doom lives in his armor, and Lex only wears his for special occasions. Lex could do well to learn a few spells, I think? :)

I think I read somewhere that Lex considers magic "Archaic Pseudo science".

However, I will point out in the DCAU Lex did have a magic talisman on hand to deal with Talah's sudden but inevitable betrayal.

That makes sense to me. I would think that hard science/tech people like Lex and Reed wouldn't have the inclination, and Doom is all about power in any form.
