I had the most interesting thought today. This is going to freak some people out. Luthor should be Batman's enemy, not Superman's. My reasons are a bit slippery and complicated. But man, Luthor being Batman's arch-guy...that would be astonishing. Gotham would be a chess board.

Part of the fun of it for me is, Luthor would not ever understand Batman fully. Luthor wants to be seen, he wants to be revered and feared in the sunlight. He would never believe someone would want to hide their good deeds under cover of darkness.

This, this really does happen in BvS. Bruce is played the whole time, even when he thinks he's fighting back against Luthor, and even have a final confrontation If you say otherwise, you are just disagreeing with facts. Its literally in the movie, and it's not subjective lol

It's not even remotely what I'm suggesting and it's weird you guys keep saying it is.

Gotham already is a chess board. The Riddler, the Joker, Penguin, Falcone, they're are all strategist in a big game. Lex wouldn't fit there. Part of his character is that he's above all human games because he wins them all - That's why his only opponent is Superman.

Respectfully, any good writer could change that paradigm in a moment. And those other characters are not in Luthor's league, strategically.

This is an entire subplot in BvS and the fact you are denying that just shows that your dislike of that movie is entirely fabricated and based upon your lack of understanding.

Yeah I always thought it said...something, that Superman's top villain is a uber-capitalist while most of Batman villains are anarchists of one kind or another.
