If you like 'DC Comics' - welcome! "come together, right now!"

Fun Fact: When Lex says, "When you came here, you had an hour, " there is exactly one hour of the movie left.

“No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from Daddy's fist and abominations”
later on Superman came down from the sky to save Lex from a fist of an abomination

[loslakers]

"Every boys special lady, is his mother" you Damm right. Much respects and ups to all the mothers out there

[davidfeltheim]

This scene illustrates the absolute importance of the secret identity trope when taken seriously, if some sociopath knows who you are outside your costume they can find everyone you love

[keith]

It’s insane how terrifying Henry cavill can be when hes Superman and then how unassuming and gentle he can be a Clark Kent. Truly perfect casting

[T-ie]

I really like how Lex can be so imposing without being tall or muscular. He controls the situation with his mind.

[sci-figameguy]

“WHERE IS SHE?”
“I DON’T KNOW! I would not let them tell me!”
😂 😂 😂

[TalkingTom.Editzz]

2:36 "WHERE IS SHE!!" gave me goosebumps and literally the most gruesome quote in dceu and the dialogue hits🫨

[johnnyperez]

“Mother of god would you look at the time “ ha genius

[HORRORZone]

Sad when you realise these photos are the last time Clark sees Martha before he's back in the Kent farm in JL

[ghost]

I hate that people are saying Superman is being uncharacteristic here. Lex kidnapped his mother. Anyone would be pissed

"Every boy special lady...is his mother"

That really hit me, I love my mother more than anyone. If anything happens to her. I'll go completely insane.

[howkit]

amazing clark can hear lois in trouble from space but cant hear his mom from the same city

[azo]

It's so easy. Based on his abusive relationship with his father, Lex understood that powerful beings aren't always good. When it comes to Superman, he hates the idea of having a godlike figure acting as jury on what's good and bad, as that leaves mankind with no choice but to helplessly submit since they don't have a means to stop him. That was the message he wanted to convey with the framings ("God is tribal, god takes sides"), and that feeeling of powerlessness is what he used to fuel Batman's anger.

With this philosophy, he portrays himself to the public as a philantropist, but in reality he's just a power-hungry maniac that wants to vent his resentment at Superman since he represents the godlike ideals he grew to hate.

“And now god bends to my will”

Gave me chills

[leoduke]

I used to think this version of Lex was weird too, but recently I’ve taken a look at the real eccentric billionaires of our world and realize this version isn’t Al that far off from them

[SootherousNoise]

"Every boys special woman. . . . Is his Mother."

*I mean he ain't lyin.*

[dukejpc]

I don't know if my assessment is correct, but I seem to see that Luthor literally trembles in fear in front of Superman, but he manages to maintain TOTAL control of the situation. "And now God bends to my will"

[We_Are_Borg_]

"I wouldn't let them tell me."
That is the only thing that stopped Lex from being melted like an army man.

[omupadhye]

That thunder when Lex says GOD vs MAN

Enough to give chills
