In the context of comic book discussions, "edgy" is just a synonym for "thing I don't like."

For some reason, I wanted to edit Luthor's speech bubble to say, "Radical! Bodaciious Pizza! Marty McFly Hoverboard!' but that would make me sound dumb and old.
Lex Luthor will always be a psychopathic megalomaniac bent on world domination covered by a thick glaze of "legitimate businessman who wants to "stop" Superman cause he is a unpredictable alien in the end" kind of character.

I'll take "tales from my ass" for 500 dollars, Alex.
They're giving him a new look to both coincide with the reboot and codify his new status quo. And honestly? It's not that bad.

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?
we most of the character's life was battle armor or some derivative look. I like businessman too but this is just a mix of things. would it be asking too much to wait and see what else they have planned?

He looks like he's trying to take over Stringer Bell's turf.

Robats is more 80's than 90's.
Also, Gambit thanks for posting a page from a comic that isn't out yet.

I...just can't anymore.
Looks like Lex Luthor. *shrug* Let's see what they do with his persona though.
that's a total 90's look. Huge shades and trench coat. Wait...are those kryptonite shades?
I'm OK with it.
WHAT THE FUCK
But you said in the BO thread that you liked Marvel comics

Well lets take look at some of the comics coming out lately/coming soon:
-Divergence pic which may or may not be from issue 41 of Batman goes here-
2/3 of those are deliberately self-aware, and the last is Rob Liefeld.
Think that's from the preview, actually, which I think they had done special, rather than just being an excerpt from the actual issue.
The reason why these characters have stay relevant for so long is because of all the different interpretations throughout the years. If Lex stayed the same all the time I don't think the character would've stayed relevant for 75+ years.Businessman Lex Luthor is what he SHOULD look like.

I had thought how godawful it would be. It has to rank up there with being a community manager for WoW.
You also forgot Jimmy (Earth 2) and Cyborg's new looks.

But tatting up Joker, making Harley look like a suicide girl and making Lex look like a crack dealer isn't the answer!

Only good Lex Luthor
Fucking Superman's cousin burned hotter than Kryptonite
and he put on that Australian accent. it's too bad what happened to Packard and Kelley, his (fake) mother. damn I miss when the Superman titles had four comics. such a diverse cast of characters.

Those previews for FCBD are excerpts from #41.
Would you really reveal who is in the suit when not every one goes to FCBD?

FCBD were not excerpts from #41. They were short stories.

Huh, didn't know that. Thought they were custom like the rest of their previews. I'll take it out of my post.

People hated business Lex when it happened. People hate Lex with a full head of hair. People hate most of the battlesuits.
Nothing to see here.
Iconic or you're just getting older and don't want things to change

"Edgy", "no colors", "no fun" and "snyder" are the favorite words of marvelgaf, it's amazing really.

He's wrong. They were specially made for the FCBD issue.

No I want things to change but they should be done in a smart way. Mad Max Fury Road and the Nolan Batman movies prove that things can be modernized and changed but still stay true to the original concepts.
tattoing up joker and sticking a grill on him and then saying "YOU NEED TO GET WITH THE TIMES" isn't going to make everyone agree its a good design.

hmm. I'll change the image just in case.
No. It's All-Star Superman Lex Luthor with stupid gloves.

Check out Darkseid's new look
He looks like a Static Shock character now...
Isn't Jaden Smith going to be the new Static Shock?
Luthor was pretty badass looking in the 90's.

That's not Darkseid
Show us where it hurts
The color scheme is what wrecks them. I get why they do it (purple and green to contrast Superman's red and blue), but they've never quite been able to make it work.People hated business Lex when it happened. People hate Lex with a full head of hair. People hate most of the battlesuits.

Green and Purple are Luthor's colors. Purple and Green are Joker's.
