An intriguing and great look at Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor - Man of Steel is a great look inside the mind of Superman's greatest foe and one of the DC Universe's most intriguing and interesting villains. In fact, Brian Azzarello writes this story of Lex Luthor with the goal of showing the complexity of what makes Lex Luthor tick. Azzarello posits the idea of Lex Luthor not being the sociopathic villain whose quest to destroy Superman has become almost Ahab-like in its intensity. No, Luthor in this book is made out to be less a villain but a champion of humanity against what he sees as the stagnating and tyrannical effect of Superman on the human race. He sees Superman as a super-powerful being of alien origin whose seeming similarity to looking like a human is just a disguise to hide what he suspects as something whose very presence will lead to humanity's downfall. Even the way Superman is drawn by Lee Bermejo as seen by Luthor looks like some sort of demonic being whose glowing red eyes make him more villain than...
A Fascinating and Thought Provoking Story
There have been many versions of Lex Luthor throughout the years; scientist, businessman, over the top, genius. He has been adapted and changed throughout the ages, with various successes and failures peppered in between. I think though, that the Lex Luthor of Lex Luthor: Man of Steel gives you one of the greatest, if not the best, ways to look at the character. The Lex Luthor of this story is a beautifully complex man. He sees Superman, not a possible savior, but as a dangerous alien who might turn on humanity any day. However, the way this is presented is truly unique and striking. Every Lex Luthor I have seen has hated Superman yes, loathed him, or was jealous of the world's adoration of him. The reason for his hate has been from his own ego, his own quest for power, or hatred based on past actions between the two. This is the first time I found the enmity based on feelings for the world, not himself. This Lex despises Superman because he...
How Bad is the Bad Guy
This is certainly not your typical Superhero comic. It takes a look at Superman's arch-nemesis and why he hates Superman so much. Lex Luthor comes across as being very intelligent man who is scared (or jealous, mayhaps?) of Superman and what he represents, and as a result takes actions that have a high cost. But do the ends truly justify the means? If you're looking for a good old action-packed Superhero comic, this isn't it, but if you dig complex villains, this is a good choice

Great 2 pack
This two pack has both Supergirl and Lex Luthor. Supergirl is modeled after her latest incarnation in the comics. Lex Luthor is in his supersuit. Several different colored jems are also included. Both action figures are very well done and have multiple points of articulation. The arms of Supergirl do appear a little fragile. Other than that I have no complaints. I would recommend this two pack for collectors and those interested in comic book figures.
Great couple gift...!
There are lots of articulation point and perfect character creation. The items are very nicely made. They have sturdy and strong materials, great colors, and superior design.
Ok.. but not fantastic
I bought this for my little boy. I was having trouble finding a lex luthor action figure. I'm sure this is a great collector's item (very detailed), but my little one just likes to play "superheroes". These action figures are larger than his other ones and they don't "fit" well with the other toys. Lex gets some playtime- supergirl looks like she always flying which seemed to bother my detail oriented 3 yr old because her cape doesn't lie down when she is standing... so she gets ignored. Like I said- if you are a collector, these are VERY cool. If you have a little one... not as cool.

Great collection
The editors of this collection really picked some of the best stories for Luthor's characterization, explaining what makes the Man of Steel's arch-nemesis tick. Luthor's Silver Age origin story, "How Luthor Met Superboy" (by Jerry Siegel himself) is clearly a product of its era, but it's still very good--and it lays the groundwork for all of the cool stuff Elliot S! Maggin would later do with the ruined friendship between the characters in stories like "The Luthor Nobody Knows" and "The Einstein Connection." It's a pity that the sequel to "The Einstein Connection," called "The Ghost of Superman Future" isn't also included, but I guess you can't have everything. The classic "The Showdown Between Luthor and Superman" introduces the planet Lexor, whose inhabitants hail Luthor as a hero. Its tragic sequel from decades later, "Luthor Unleashed," tells of Lexor's ultimate fate--and also introduces Lex's suit of power armor. I've never been a fan...
Don't waste your money
I was expecting to have to deal with the "first apperance" story; that's par for the course in these compilation albums and I was ready for the poor writing of the 1930s, what reasly surprised me was the haphazzard way that the stories for this collection were picked. There wasn't much of a rhyme or reason. Unless they were going for "the most boring Luthor Stories Ever Told". No mention of the alternate Lex Luthor who is a superhero. An incompleate reprint of Lex becoming a bussinessman in the 80s. None of the great team up stories with Brainiac. However you will find way too many of the camp Superboy stories and the juvenile origin of the Lex Luthor feud with Superman. If Lex is a sociopath bent on world domination I saw no evidence of it here and if I was new to comics and had no other reference poin than this book I would (eroneously) think "wow, what a boring character this Lex Luthor is".

Mine!
I suppose there's not that much to say; it's simply a well-made action figure. The body design is pretty cool: a ring construct version of the battle suit he normally wears. And the whole thing is see-through-ish. The head is very well done, too. Great details- there's even a visible vein on one side, above his ear. As for durability, there's two tubes by his chest/neck that pop off pretty easily, but other than that, you could probably run this over with your car and not break it (I wouldn't recommend it, though...). It's a fairly thick, sturdy-feeling figure. He seems to have all the usual articulation points, but with a swivel-upper torso instead of an ab-crunch. His armor limits how much you can move his arms, but not by too much. His...err, leg flaps(?) are pretty flexible, so if you want your figure to do splits for some reason, there's no issue there. The collect-and-connect Anti-Monitor leg he comes with is HUGE...
Feeling Orange with GREED!
I recently got this figure as a Christmas gift. The Lex head is spot on and the orange armor is very close to the Lex from the Kryptonite Chaos Supergirl two pack. I think it is the same figure but with a different upper torso and skirt. The thing is the other Lex is fairly bulky and a good solid figure this one is fairly loose on the upper torso joint. I would have prefered this one as a straight up repaint job with redeco orange lantern signs. Also a handle on the lantern would be nice as well. As a bonus throw in a removable orange lex head so you can make him an Orange lantern soldier!
Orange Lantern Lex Luthor Review
Well, this is the first action figure I've ordered from Amazon and it's pretty good. Lex is wearing his classic armor, but now it's made of translucent orange plastic and has the Orange Lantern symbol on the front and a ring on his right hand. The articulation is really good, a definite improvement over his earlier version(now he can move his upper legs more). His head is the only part not translucent, cast in flesh colored plastic and then painted. His expression is somewhat stoic, if not outright heroic looking(The DC Direct figure has a more maniacal look and glowing orange eyes). Lex comes with an Orange Power Battery(It's the same as the Green Lantern Power Battery, just minus the handle) and the left leg of The Anti-Monitor BAF The only complaint is that the waist is a little loose and the right forearm has no wrist articulation. I certainly recommand this figure.

Clancy Brown is Lex Luthor in 'Superman/Batman: Public Enemies'

Posted by admin Feb 07, 2012

In the shoot, Luthor has been elected President of the Collaborative States, and he uses the onrushing course of a Kryptonite asteroid to context Superman and avow a $1 billion reward on the heads of the Man of Blade and his “team-mate in offence,” Batman. Superman and Batman must weld to stave off the tracking of heroes and villains exhibiting a resemblance, lay off the asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s foxy figure to take have of far more than North America.

Following the

Q. After close to two decades voicing Lex Luthor, are there any challenges to creating this distinction?

CLANCY BROWN: I’m harmonious likeable doing the communicate of Lex, so the only challenges fall from the order – and the Any Enemies continuity is tremendous. I concoct it suits everybody active. It suits Kevin (Conroy). It suits Tim (Daly). It suits me and the articulation characterizations that we created, you distinguish, back set to rights before the Laical War. I over that was when we started doing this. So there’s not unqualifiedly much defy to it anymore – it’s impartial a lot of fun now, and uncommonly when you get to do it with Kevin and Tim and Andrea (Romano) and Bruce (Timm).

What so just because this Superman is young and comtemperory that he has to be labeled emo? First of all, Superman in Earth One was not emo, he was college student fresh out of college trying to figure out to do. It does have a little Smallville in Earth One but better. Earth One also gave us a chance to see what if Clark had chosen to be a ceo, an athlete, or a celebrity. While this is a fresh take on Superman and earth one did not stray away from the Superman we know and love. There's a sequel coming out and I can't wait for it.
