One more thought. Lex Luthor should hate and envy superman all at once. He should loathe him, treat him like a disgusting alien who is infecting "his" people and at the same time love toying with him. His jealousy of Metropolis and the world showing their love and awe to this bizarre non human should give Luthor anguish.
This was abundantly clear when Singer made Superman Returns. Spacey chewed the scenery a bit but was an excellent Luthor. I mean, that movie was so boring it was offensively bad and involved a hilarious real estate scheme but at least they did an ok job with Luthor.
This Luthor though? None of that. I think he hated Batman just as much as superman and they never did a good job of establishing why. In fact halfway thru the movie he switched from hating superman to hating batman. Why? For the stupidest reason ever! Because Batman stole his krypton which he was gonna use to kill Superman. Except that's exactly what Batman was gonna do with it! And he's probably better st it than Lex. So what does our boy Lex do? Well hire ####ing superman to kill Batman of course! MORON!!!!!
Not to mention how he sprung Doomsday from the already moronic magical Kryptonian ship like he was Saruman hatching Urukai in LOTR.
