So I feel like Lex needs to go away for a while and I think that this needs to happen soon after Year of the Villain concludes. I mean he's a good villain but the using the guy so much for major storylines is getting old and I'd like for him be neutralized for a while. Like he goes to far and Superman finally has enough and Lex Luthor gets nervous about what Superman has in mind and then the final scene is of Batman asking Clark what happened to Lex and Clark just vaguely answers "He will never hurt anyone again." Then it skips to Lex Luthor screaming inside of the Phantom Zone or some other hellish place that only Superman can get to. Then maybe as a consequence of this Zod couldbe freed and take Lex's place as his main villain for a few years or Ultra Humanite could step up to role in Lexi's absence.
