How come Lex isn't racist towards Martians, Tamaraneans, Amazonians, Thanagarians, Coluans, Czarnians, and Zur-En-Arrhites like he is to Kryptonians?
>>150725225because superman slighted him personallyhe hates all of them, he just hates superman more
>>150725225>>150725232
>>150725225Because, amusingly, his pretensions to racism are just hilarious cope for his inferiority complex. That's what his plot always comes down to whenever his "hatred" of Superman is the focus. It's never about the "ugh, Superman's ubermensch nature degrades the inherent value of the human existence and struggle," it's literally just cause he's made about Superman looking cool and being better than him. So he tries to rationalize it and externalize his logic to get other people to agree with him, but it's literally just because he's envious of Superman. It's just that simple.Oddly, the Gunn movie is the only one to both make this explicit and make him self aware enough about it. It's the only time I can think of where Luthor just goes "yes, I'm just a petty bitch, there's not really anything else, and the knowledge of that annoys me too."
>>150725225Because SuperKWAB is annoying
>>150725225He hates him directly. Although it would be a fantastic change to his character. And Ironic considering the krypronians were genocidal monsters who were taken down by a universal coalition and green lanterns
>>150725225Because he's a Superman villain
>>150725225>AmazoniansThey're (usually) human, just isolationist occultists?
>>150725667considering Jorel was actually le evil in the gunnverse, maybe Lex was right and he really is our HERO
>>150725629Shaddup taco
>>150725225Because he’s bald
>>150725225Lex is racist towards all meta-humans. It's integral to his character.Superman represents everything good about America. (Acceptance, Generosity, Justice, Forgiveness, Helping your fellow man)Lex represents everything bad about America. (Hatred, Greed, Corruption, Revenge, Caring only for yourself) Nobody really understands this and Lex is just kind of a rich evil dude with a beef with Superman.Yes I know Lex personally has beef with Supes over things, but Lex being the dark parallel of Superman's status as a symbol of America doesn't seem to be utilized at all.
>>150725225He dislikes superheroes in general.
>>150725321>the Gunn movie is the only one to both make this explicit and make him self aware enough about itThat's because they copied it from All-Star Superman.
Luthor's a petty bitch, but also Superman has become his white whale. There is nothing that gives his life more meaning than opposing Superman.
>>150727863>There is nothing that gives his life more meaning than opposing Superman.Facts.
>>150725225Don't forget Atlanteans
>>150727837I know its too soon to kill this superman but is Gunn going the be the only chance for All-Star Superman to get a live action adaptation??
>>150728323I like All Star but there's no reason it needs to be adapted
>>150725279>Neither Lex nor Golden Age Superman can cure baldness.
>>150725225Because, as other anons have already said, his "racism" is just an excuse for his massive hateboner (homosexual subtext intended) for Superman.He's perfectly fine with working with Coluans, Amazonians and even other Kryptonians as long as they help further his "Fuck Superman!" agenda (homosexual subtext intended).
>>150725772
>>150725837I was expecting a reveal that Lex edited the video to make people think Jor-El was evil but that never came. It was weird
>>150728386No one can
Can someone post that page of Earth 23 Lex shouting “I’m not racist I hate everything else about you”
Because he wants to be the superhero of metropolis
