Lex Luthor is joining a growing list of DC characters who are getting a major visual overhaul this summer. Luthor's new look was revealed in a preview for June's Batman/Superman #21, which was featured in Convergence: Justice League of America #2 this week.

While Luthor will be retaining the familiar green and purple color scheme that's been his hallmark for decades, it's clear the villain is opting for more of a street level approach. His traditional armor has been replaced by a trenchcoat, sunglasses and gauntlets. If anything, he seems to be taking fashion advice from Static of the Static Shock franchise.

Luthor joins characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash and Green Arrow, all of whom are getting new costumes and new status quos as part of DC's big post-Convergence relaunch in June. In the case of Batman, it'll be an entirely different character wearing the new armored suit.

I...just can't anymore.

I bet you were real pissed when he became a businessman. for me as long as it's not the stupid battle armor i'm fine with it. this seems to be an amalgam of different looks.

Professor X in a Gambit costume for Halloween.

 

[squall23]

Is that Paul Shaffer?

 

[Gambit 1138]

"Sup G wanna buy some Kryptonite crack?"

[WillyFive]

He looks like he always does.

Looks like straight up Luthor without his business suit.

 

[guek]

Looks like a comicbook character

I'm not in love with it or anything but it's fine. I wish he'd lose the shades though

 

[sirap]

Reminds me of All Stars Lex.

 

[ReiGun]

That's edgy? It's just some light battle armaments and a trenchcoat.

 

[Ahasverus]

90's are baaack

 

[Guesong]

The neon glasses are too much.

Other than that it's not any better or worse than his other attires.

Businessman Lex Luthor is what he SHOULD look like.

The Animated series and 80s-90s comics got it 100% right

this is Lex:

Why fuck with such an iconic look?

 

[rtcn63]

The image looks like it belongs in an ad from a 90s gaming magazine.

 

[Zeyphersan]

I thought Professor X died

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Looks fine imo

 

[old]

Not enough zippers.

 

[Sojgat]

Doesn't look that bad, but fingerless gloves, why?

 

[Dali]

He's fucking Gambit now, lmao.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Hahahaha.

 

[tycoonheart]

He looks so extreeeemeee

 

[SargerusBR]

Lex cosplaying as Gambit

 

[sprsk]

He looks like a flying dope dealer

"Here, get Powered Up with Nintendo Power Magazine today."

 

[Slayven]

He's fucking Gambit now, lmao.

Even Gambit hung up the trench coat

 

[Mudcrab]

He's fucking Gambit now, lmao.

Fate worse than death.

 

[Ahasverus]

Honestly, if you can't stand dumb shit, just don't read comics, I know I don't.

 

[wamberz1]

Better than a dumb suit of armor

 

[Foggy]

If that's edgy then Simple Plan must be the Sex Pistols of their generation

 

[Jigorath]

Oh boy.

 

[Mighty Chin]

Doesn't look that bad, but fingerless gloves, why?

His Coke Fingers

 

[shadyspace]

Fate worse than death.

I get it.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

oh my god his smug ass face

 

[TheKaeptain]

If that's edgy then Simple Plan must be the Sex Pistols of their generation

Pretty much.

 

[Shiv47]

Needs to be able to use his smartphone.

 

[Uno Venova]

Could you imagine having a job trying to please comic book fans.

 

[grandjedi6]

That's hilarious. He really does look like a generic X-men now.

 

[sn00zer]

 

[Mighty Chin]

Lex has gone street level

 

[Error]

How's that edgy? Looks comic booky and goofy to me.

 

[Gambit 1138]

Seems like they want to make him younger in the comics and portray them how they THINK the Jesse Eisenberg version will be. However I highly doubt movie version will be anything like this and hopefully will be more like the businessman/scientist version particularly since their was a LexCorp truck in the first movie.

Could you imagine having a job trying to please comic book fans.

It's really not that difficult.

 

[grandjedi6]

Don't change anything but make it all feel fresh and original. Also feature my favorite character more but not other people's.

 

[Valkerionseven]

He looks like a Static Shock character now...

every hero/bad guy in this show had goggles/square thick sunglasses of various colors.

 

[Egg0]

Not a big fan of this Static/Virgil Hawkins redesign.

 

[Theecliff]

is this the 90s?

 

[Slayven]

Could you imagine having a job trying to please comic book fans.

I would just put this greatness on every page

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

He's totally in my face with his outrageous attitude!
