I was going to do a description or whatever, but instead I am just going to post the alt text that I used for this image.

BLOOOOOOGH ALT TEXT IT'S TIME FOR ALT TEXT

it's a comic of lex luthor and the joker being super best friends

PANEL ONE: the joker is tying lex's bow tie. they are in white tie because white tie is so cool. tuxedos are dumb. white tie forever, baby. anyway you know the joker is good at tying bow ties because of the whole purple suit thing. he probably practiced a lot! you don't just poof a suit onto yourself, and you know harley's ass can't tie a tie.

LEX: thank you, by the way. i have the worst time with these stupid things.

JOKER: of course! if i'm going to kidnap you, you have to look good. i have standards.

PANEL TWO: super wide shot of lex and the joker walking and talking. it's an aaron sorkin walk and talk! do the kids even know what that is? does anyone? i never watched west wing.

LEX: i still think this is a bad idea.

JOKER: would you relax? batman is not here. superman is not here. this is just you and me and a bunch of rich assholes that we are going to scam out of a LOT of money.

LEX: but i can just give you the money.

JOKER: lex, please. life is about the journey, not the destination!

PANEL THREE: SPONGEBOB TITLE CARD because you can put any damn thing you want in comics. i don't know why comics are so bad, actually.

SPONGEBOB TITLE CARD: THREE HOURS LATER

PANEL FOUR: lex and the joker sitting on a chair. lex is in the chair, the joker is sitting on the armrest. lex is drinking. they are beat to shit and laughing.

LEX: …i have GOT to stop listening to you.

JOKER: you really do.

DAMN, THAT'S THE END!

LL: Why the big obsession with finding extraterrestrials?

CK: Looking back, Lois … I think he just wants someone to talk to.

elliot s maggin (one of the main pre-crisis superman writers, and if you’re not familiar with him i beg you to track down some of his work) has a quora account where he answers questions about his opinions on comics and superheroes and god, i love hearing him talk about lex luthor.

a few highlights:

the idea that “no one is truly irredeemable, even the worst of villains” is frankly incredibly radical even by current day standards — grown adults couldn’t handle that shit in steven universe, a literal show for children — but it should be a core tenet of the superman mythos and that is a hill i will die on.

lex luthor in superman (2025) really is that guy. he’s bald. he’s hot. he’s a little gay for superman. he hates superman so much he cloned him so that the clone could kill him. he’s never met superman. he has a pocket dimension where he stores international hostages and petty exes. he made a horrible homunculus when he was twelve and named him Mr. Handsome. he tortured superman’s dog by projecting flying squirrels into his brain. he kidnapped a weird little baby to blackmail a man into poisoning superman. he’s in league with an evil dictator. he uses his superman clone as a light switch, a donut holder, and a bodyguard. he killed a falafel vendor in cold blood. he has created a seemingly incredible workplace synergy and all his employees love him. he turned one of those employees into a cyborg so she could kill superman. it never crosses his mind that superman could be clark kent because he hates superman too much to believe he has a day job. he’s going to open a donut shop in his half of jarhanpur.

I love this Lex, he made Mr. Handsome when he was fucking 12. I hope that, going forward, they have him do completely ridiculous shit with absolutely zero explanation.
