I completely agree. I think to some degree Lex Luthor’s presence shows that Clark is sometimes naïve, and that Clark always looks for the very best in people, even when warned by Jor-El that it was...

Hello all


I’m overjoyed that you agree with me on that. I too hated that Lex Luthor came from Smallville. I think it was done in the Smallville tv programme to show how Clark and Lex were...

Hello everyone,

May I ask, do people here have a favourite Lex Luthor origin story/background story from canon? If not, how would people prefer Lex Luthor to be depicted?

Hello everyone,



I would like to think that Clark is always critical of his persona as “The Superman”. Coupled with what I believe is a burden he feels of being “The Messiah” and a longing for...

Hello all,

I do beg your pardon, when I meant Christopher Priest would be a wonderful writer for Superman, I meant the British author who wrote novels such as The Prestige and Inverted World, not...

I concur 100% with your choice sir! Christopher Priest would indeed by a superb choice to write a Superman book. In fact the prestige is one of my favourite Christopher Priest novels. He is great...

May I ask everyone a question? How do you all feel about Superman being a vegetarian in Birthright? I am totally for Superman being vegan, even though I am not. As a being who views all life as being...

Yes I agree. I believe he/it is a fairly one dimensional character that only serves as means for Superman to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Hello again, just a few more points on my favourite character of all time.

I think there is a very profound reason why Lex Luthor is Superman's greatest adversary. Unlike other villains such as...

Hello, thanks for your reply. I haven't spoken to many Superman fans about how I view Lex Luthor, but I'm glad that you think he could commit such a hideous crime.



Exactly! That kind of...

Hello all, it's been wonderful reading people's opinions on Superman's fighting ability and style.

Sorry to go off on a tangent, but has anyone read the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" by...

I too thought that was a cool effect! There have been several scenes from live action depictions, where he has demonstrated abilities that I had never seen before. From Superman 1 I loved how he...

I agree manwhohaseverything. Though I didn't like Man of Steel so much for many reasons, I loved Henry Cavill's physical portrayal of Superman, including the big, heat vision beams and his eyes...

Correct! I don't think Luthor would be so blatantly obvious that he practically has a political party in his pocket. Then again in the Superman stories, Luthor has bribed and coerced senior figures...

Hahahaha, I agree 100%

Hello all, forgive me for bringing this topic up for discussion in case there are any US citizens who are supporters of Donald Trump on this board and I know it is cliché to say so but does anyone...

I concur. I think a lot of non-Superman fans do not understand the nature of that sense of "Hope". In my opinion, it is the hope that we will move past our differences and work as a collective...

Thank you Flash Gordon, I agree he is the antithesis of everything Superman stands for. But if Superman's core belief is that all life in the world is precious and should be protected and saved (this...

Hello all, slightly off topic but are there many Lex Luthor fans on here? Forgive me, but he is my absolute favourite character from the Superman story and of all time. I am ashamed to say that I am...

I think it's maybe because we live in an age of cynicism, perhaps? I may be wrong, but it seems to me that studio execs believe audiences want superheroes that are dark, conflicted, fallible and...

Hello again, I too like that idea of Metallo as being an "anti-Superman" and the military aspect. Many years ago I wrote my own Superman trilogy, for myself. It remained as true to the source...

Your views are totally a-ok with me! :) I'm just glad to strike up a conversation with a fellow Superman fan.

The analogy between Christ and Superman have been drawn for decades now and as an...

I'm so sorry, but I disagree. Jesus Christ was a carpenter and Sree Krishna was a cattle herder, both were taught their trades by their adopted fathers, both adored and practiced their trades, and...

I agree. For me personally as an atheist Indian man from a Hindu family background, what got me hooked on the Superman character and the Superman story as a young boy was its modern day/pop-culture...

Are there any Lex Luthor fans on here? Is it just me or does anyone else feel that Lex Luthor hasn't received a proper on-screen treatment like how Chris Nolan and Heath ledger superbly tackled The...
