Every future DCU movie will be burdened with this.
He literally has Superman's entire genetic code and could create an army of clones. Or fuck, clone himself or anyone else.
Hell, who knows if the Luthor put into prison was the real one or a clone? Nobody has any fucking idea because clones are such a shitty idea.
It removes all stakes just about as much as multiverse shit... which they're also doing.

It would be a better idea to somehow inject himself with Superman's blood to gain superhuman abilities so he could actually fight him.

>>213334106 (OP)
He unironically have a son with Superman called Conner thanks to cloning.
>>213334152
That totally defeat what Lex is about , that humanity intellect can beat "SUPER"man
he did that in all stars because he got sentence death penalty.

>>213334152
He did that in All Star Superman but it wasn't as stupid as cloning himself or injecting himself with Superman's blood.

>>213334221
He needs kryptonite to truly beat Superman and that's not even an earth element, his intelligence can only get him so far against an alien.

>>213334106 (OP)
Common problem with capeshit.
I wonder if the DCEU had continued would the other films have acknowledged the environmental destruction of Aquaman 2.
Actually that peacemaker show is getting a second season still partially set in DCEU, maybe I should have a look at that to see if they do

>>213334106 (OP)
He could have killed Superman when Metamorpho had him sick with kryptonite. That was a major plothole.

>>213334604
he literally said the goverment wanted an interrogation first and he needed to wait for the kill.

>>213334654
Luthor said he made up all those wars and shit just to kill Superman. Then he gets a chance to kill superman and he defers to American government? Dumb

>>213334762
Because otherwise the American government would've taken him down. He needed US sanction to kill him legally.
>b-b-but he got money
Bitch, you seriously think that's gonna matter?

>>213334762
>Dumb
you need to understand what Lex wanted is to be SUPERMAN. He wants that adoration and his image and specially make Superman the biggest villain so he ends being right.

>>213334823
How would they know? He has Superman in a pocket universe where he can make up any story. He dedicated his entire life to killing superman

>>213334827
In the movie he said he wanted nothing more than to kill supes. period.

>>213334106 (OP)
I would have cloned Supergirl instead..

Superman never questioned why the Hammer of Baravia had the same exact powers he has. That was dumb.

>>213334933
He wanted people to know. And to see him for the hero he thinks he is. So he needs Superman to be officially recognized as the bad guy.

>>213334971
Lots of people have the same powers he has, flying brick is the most vanilla powerset there is. Plus, it could be a robot. It looked robot-y.

>>213334971
>Superman never questioned why the Hammer of Baravia had the same exact powers he has
it was just a bulk armor
remember ultraman used that armor to hide himself.

>>213334106 (OP)
I didn’t see the movie but it appears that his Bizzaro clone is brain dead or something. Is there anything in there to suggest that cloning is like an incomplete process, and they can’t be fully intelligent? If that’s only the case with Superman when Lex Luthor clones himself in post crisis comic books there is a clone plague that almost kills all clones, you could have something like that pretty easily that makes cloning genetically nonviable

>>213334992
The Hammer used his eye lasers, flying and super strength.

>>213334106 (OP)
No it doesn't

>>213334823
> b-b-but he got money
> Bitch, you seriously think that's gonna matter?
Yes? Nigga it works in real life, look at Disney and how it changes the law with money

>>213334106 (OP)
>Or fuck, clone himself
Careful now.

>>213334106 (OP)
That's just capeshit. Every other issue someone solves all the world's problems, cures all diseases and it's promptly forgotten or locked away because something something men in tights.

>>213335016
He says near the end final battle that the clone came out “dumber” than Superman. Pretty fucking vague

>>213335178
Look at Elon. Richest man in the world. If the US pulls his contracts with him, he's completely fucked.

>>213335065
You can make a robot to do all that. Shit, the Red Rockets probably do it, if they exist in this universe, and they're just Soviet Iron-Men.

>>213335065
You know who else can fly and have super strength? Almost all of them.

I grow up up with jap mangas...nenever realized how dumb american comics were until the capeshit explosion.
America is truly a tumor.

>>213335323
>I grow up up with jap mangas
Im so sorry.

>>213334106 (OP)
We want twink Conor in the next movie

>>213335347
I'm so glad i'm not an amerilard. Worst country in the west side.

>>213335323
>I grow up up with jap mangas
A good handbook on spelling, they were not

>>213335203
That was vague as fuck.
Not to mention if Lex or anyone wants to defeat superman in the sequel, just make another clone. Or 2. Or 3. Or 100.
Hell, make a clone of the dude that could make kryptonite too.

>>213334952
Imagine cloning multiple subservient Supergirls.

It wasn't perfect, he mentions that there were issues. The clone was stupid and non-functional as an individual, apparently couldn't speak, just followed orders like a robot.
I do think it was a lame idea though, they could have easily used an actual character from the comics instead.

>>213334106 (OP)
Why is this faggot twink crying?

>>213334106 (OP)
Lighten up, autist

>he approaches capeshit with a rational eye

Big mistake. Just accept that mainstream movies will be 100% nonsense.

>capeslop
grow up

>>213335203
He came out dumber because Lex rushed the process. He literally says he pulled him early.
>>213336061
He'd have to find another piece of hair I guess.

>>213334283
He had a guy that can make infinite kryptonite and a clone of Superman. He would have won if his plan wasn't retarded.

>>213334106 (OP)
clones have been achievable for comic book super scientists since the fucking 60s dude

>>213334823
>Because otherwise the American government would've taken him down.

Lol how? He has a clone of Superman that obeys him. Lex needing glownigger approval made no sense.

>>213337682
Because he made a deal?
He wants to look good to the world.
Why would people see him as a hero if he takes over America by force with an evil clone?

>>213337716
>Because he made a deal?
As if Lex cares. He's a villain.
>He wants to look good to the world.
I don't see how executing Superman in his private prison changes that. Normies wouldn't know.
>Why would people see him as a hero if he takes over America by force with an evil clone?
Who said anything about taking over the world? This is about him vs the glowniggers.

>>213337785
>He's a villain
He desperately cares how he looks. To the entire human race.
If he makes a deal with the American government, says he'll imprison Superman, and then kills him, the government won't look kindly on him.
That will cause drama and trouble for his reputation.
How would he get the fucking U.S. government off his back? He wouldn't go into hiding. He loves the spotlight.
He can't pay the government off. They print the fucking money.
What would he do?

>>213337828
>the government won't look kindly on him.
He was trying to annex a country, retard. The government doesn't look too kindly on that either. The general public would turn on him for that as well.

>How would he get the fucking U.S. government off his back?
>Ultraman, go to the CIA director's house and fist fuck his wife, will you?

>>213337864
>he was trying to annex a country
Secretly, yes. Which the government didn't know about.
That's not the same level of severity as making a promise to the U.S. government, going back on it, and then sending a clone to fist fuck people in power.

>>213337785
Maybe he just would rather not deal with being hunted by the government for the rest of his life when he can avoid all that very easily like he did in the movie

>>213335016
He says clones often aren’t a perfect match and bizarro is dumb due to that so yes
