Too much socialism not enough Luthor shit talking

Well, luthor was smart.

not like thats out of cannon

Superman was smart. Which hes supposed to be. They really downplay the heck out of that though. Hes not supposed to be a dumb thug

Batman was crafty. Again. Normal stuff. Besides, all he did was team up with that russian guy and commit suicide. Nothing too unbatmanlike

And Braniac was smart. not that smart tough

and none of them were incredibly smart except for Luthor. If you ask me, its just him finally fulfilling all that potential he wasted for 60 years.

you can make characters smart without just writing a sting of plot contriver like

"haha i built a kryptonite gun superman!"

"oh yeah well in anticipated that and invented a kryptonite bullet proof vest"

"oh yeah well i invented armor piercing rounds"

etc

its STUPID

its been a while since i read a comic but im pretty sure it didnt go down like that

**Jack D. Ripper** · 02-16-2013, 09:45 PM

it went down simlar

there was a line about brainac being a 47th level intelligence too used to justify it

braniac was an idiot in the comic

the guy failed. at everything. he couldnt even blow up earth successfully

Now lex went a bit too far. I'll admit that. Guy was REALLY overpowered. All that really happened in the comic was finding new ways of making him smarter. Today, luthor cured cancer, then doubled the US economy, then created another dimension, then learned swedish poetry

have you ever read the superman comic from the 60s where lex luther actually kills superman. its pretty much the best luthor comic ever written

step 1 of his plan is to cure cancer

**Sephiroth** · 02-16-2013, 09:58 PM

Luthor also stole 40 cakes

**JOAL.com** · 02-16-2013, 09:59 PM

Lex had a few good stories in the last 10 years

His luthor graphic novel was pretty sweet. infinitely better than Joker's. And his action comics run was very fun

all star superman was a good luthor story
