Lex Luthor Had Everything But It Wasn't Enough | Superman: The Animated Series

Lex Luthor isn't a monster or a god. He's worse: he's human.
In Superman: The Animated Series, Lex Luthor isn't just Superman's greatest enemy, he's a mirror reflecting the darkest parts of human ambition.

This video looks at how the DC Animated Universe reimagined Luthor as a corrupt corporate titan whose pride and ego turn world-changing inventions into weapons, and whose greatest weakness is the very idea of Superman.

I'll cover Lex Luthor's comic book origins, from mad scientist to manipulative businessman, and break down why the animated version from the Superman: The Animated Series is still one of the best portrayals of the character.

This isn't just a history lesson, it's a character study on power, pride, and the unbearable truth that some people are simply better.
