World's smartest man... charges naked at a cosmic goddess.

This is that same Lex who decided to best way to kill all the gods was by becoming a god's minion. Apex Lex is probably the least impressive version of Lex ever, and that's including the Kevin Spacey version.*

*Before we knew about Kevin Spacey.

I appreciate the quiet retcon that Luthor's Igor act was simply an act, because I can definitely believe he'd be willing to play the long, long game at a goddess's side, waiting for the moment she relaxes her guard into something like trust and leaves herself open. The boot-licking sycophant is definitely the sort of person whom Lex believes the Supermen of the world really want attending them.

Oh yeah, I remember Super-Lex. And how he gave up on it because he wasn't getting medals for basic decency.

Which is probably one of the most Lex things possible.

[matrix_dragon]

It really is.

Something I love about Lex's motivation is how it plays with Bruce and kind of sets up as those twisted reflections of each other.

[cygnia]

Have they ever done an "Acts of Vengeance" style crossover event?

[shakalooloo]

Batman: Brave and the Bold did an episode with that idea.

Lex is probably a good check on Bruce, who if he sees the parallels, would definitely be uncomfortable!
