Lex luthor just had a spiritual awakening that made him want to save the world. Superman think that the next best option is to knock him out.
This always rubbed me the wrong way. How am I supposed to support Superman in this story?

Look at the context for that speech. Lex is raving about how he has to kill Superman, "so I can save the world" is just a tacked-on afterthought to justify his actions.
Name one thing he could do to save the world that is prevented by Superman existing that isn't just supervillain shit like "I will rule these people with an iron fist, for their own good!".
William Price
Nah.
Lex was still murderous towards Superman. He was still driven by ego to control. Frustrated because he had it all timed, arrogantly boasting about his contingency and therefore informing Superman of his plan b. He wanted to control the world, not save it. The "I" and "MADE" are bold for a reason. Then he blames it all on Superman.
Not exactly spiritually awakened.
I mean, if you're so dumb that you believe Lex was going to give everyone Superman's powers so they can experience enlightenment, well, there's no helping you.

Isn’t the only reason Lex hates Superman that he fears that humanity relying too much on an alien savior will cause it to grow weak and stop evolving. I’m pretty sure Luthor wouldn’t be against evolving humanity into a master race through a super serum.
Cooper Howard
These anons are correct. Even with the cosmic enlightment Luthor ultimately didn't learn a thing and probably wouldn't have done anything but use that power for more control.

Luthor's niece was cute in the funny helmet. Just saying.

No. That's the lie he tells people to convince them he's doing the right thing.

A similar thing was done in Milllar's Authority. This may be Morrison's answer to that.

The animated movie does some scenes better than the comic, imo.

There is no scenario where Lex Luthor lifts one finger to help the common man if he doesn't benefit 10x more first.

Are you trying to say that people can't change their mind?
Henry Hughes
Is this an industrycuck thread? Or Tommy? The wording makes me think the former.
Jason Wilson
who cares what retard label to put on them--they're obnoxious faggots regardless.
William Rogers
You're missing the point. His mind was made up from the jump. He just wanted supes dead so he can look like the true savior. And if he really cared he would've not been supes enemy, but his friend helping alongside him
Nathaniel Morris
It is like what Clark said. If Lex cared or wanted to, he would have saved the world by this point. He doesnt care.

Some people can, some people can't.
Life is an ongoing trial and error process of learning about who around you can improve as people and who can't.
That also includes yourself.
You should give everyone the benefit of the doubt but past a time with some people it becomes obvious they won't change for the better and you only harm yourself and others by trying.

Enlightened Lex becomes a hero after Superman goes to live in the sun. His children are all heroes until one becomes the first L (or El) and earth turns into krypton a million years into the future

Every superman story makes more sense in the context of the post-WWII economic bubble that no longer exists.

Is there an AU where Luthor and Supes are BOTH good guys and work together? Super powers + super-science & super-buttloads of money. This idea intrigues me.
