The new Superman trailer just had me thinking on my blog about why Luthor hates Superman... there are so many versions and I'm always looking for new interpretations, so I might pick this up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-1146452775786524472006-04-30T22:06:00.000-05:002006-04-30T22:06:00.000-05:00I actually did sorta feel sorry for Lex.

He's taken it upon himself to be this martyr for humanity (though of course he won't actually <I>kill</I> himself, he gets other people to do that for him), sacrificing personal happiness to show what a danger Superman really is (though I suppose that is also a reflection of his gigantic ego). It tied in quite nicely too with the Superman/Batman fight (the way such a fight <I>really</I> ought to go!), reinforcing Superman's indestructibility, and futile as though fighting him may be, the tiniest of victories might just be enough.<BR/><BR/>Has it been confirmed that it's "out of continuity" or whatever? That would be a shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
