What The DCU Can Learn From Smallville’s Lex Luthor
To this gunpoint , very small is know about how Gunn is plan on depicting Lex inSuperman : Legacy , other than the fact that he is starting the eccentric at a new point in his life , give Hoult ’s age . It will probably be quite some metre before the creation gets a good glance of Hoult ’s Lex , asSuperman : Legacyisn’t scheduled to start product for a couple of more months . However , there are a pile of elements from Rosenbaum ’s version of Lex onSmallvillethat the DC Universe should look at incorporating into its own iteration .
Throughout Rousenbaum ’s time inSmallville , the writers dedicate serious sentence to flesh out Lex Luthor ’s quality , as they decently explored the mentality of what make him Superman ’s gravid enemy . Superman properties in the past tense have tended to impart a comedic element to Lex and make him less forbidding , which can prove a ill service to the character ’s great legacy in the comic . Zen : Legacyshould handle Lex as the most formidable rival in Clark Kent ’s life history , as he , without any powers , is still able-bodied to maltreat up to Superman .
While Lex is inSuperman : Legacy , it is indecipherable if he will be the primary antagonist .
It will be exciting to see how the DC Universe will apply Lex Luthor in bothSuperman : Legacyand the larger franchise , as he could well become one of the most brawny and democratic enemy of the novel continuity . With someone as gifted as Nicholas Hoult now set to flirt Lex , there is a pile to look forrad to when it comes to seeing his take on the iconic supervillain . Hopefully , onceSuperman : Legacystarts yield , more resolution will be given about what kind of Lex Luthor the franchise is grow ready to give the world .
