It was President Lex Luthor (who was Regular Lex Luthor) just sort of randomly grabbing his Secretary of Metahuman Affairs and kissing her in the middle of a debriefing. Because it's written by Jeph Loeb. And Luthor's like freebasing synthetic Kryptonite steroids or something and has gone CRAZY. It was definitely real Luthor though, because he was Power Suit Luthor full of green eyes and Steroid Madness. Alexander Luthor was Versace Luthor, suavely recruiting supervillains to a society while having blue eyes because changing eye color is not possible when disguising yourself as another person in the DC universe.

The stupidest thing was that Alexander isn't just a 1 to 1 Lex Luthor like Infinite Crisis and its lead up poses. He's the son of Lex and Lois from Earth 3. He should have been pretending to be Lois.

Didn't Plastic Man say "It's like that's his power now" or some similar sentiment?
It was part of the gritty narration to Baker's last issue of Plastic Man. It's Batman narrating.

Lex actually entering a romantic relationship with Amanda Waller based on respect of her abilities and mind, where she is skeptical of him but giving him a shot, and he's trying his best to be a good boyfriend for once, would be kicking rad. They would make a legit cool couple and it's a shame that was relegated to a joke about how crazy he was.

Lex doesn't need Waller though, he's got the perfect girlfriend: a fuckbot of Lois Lane.

I'm pretty sure the entire superhero community would be utterly hosed if Lex and Amanda legitimately joined forces. The Justice League animated series had something to this extent during it first Unlimited season.

Uh excuse meh but I'll have you know it was later revealed that Lex only did that 'cuz Alex Luthor from Earth-3's presence was messing with Lex's brainwaves!

I don't know what it is about Dark Nights, but I'm finding it super intriguing despite the sensible part of me thinking it's ridiculous. Look at that, I'm loving sold even though I'm also thinking that I shouldn't be sold at all.

I don't know why, but I find myself really liking the weird armour style of these evil Batmen.

There's nothing special about me.

It is still bizzare (hurr) to me that a Red Hood series of all places is where I wound up reading one of the best done tragedies in comics this year.
Like, even forgiving the art which... isn't always good, the character writing is excellent.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
I think Grid was just evil Earth-3 Cyborg.

Actually Grid originated on Earth-1 or Earth Prime or whatever the gently caress it's called now. He's a program that gained sentience and then communicated with Atomica and agreed to join the Crime Syndicate.

Mine had Lois and Clark stumble upon and intrude on a group of people having a picnic remembering their ancestor who fought in the Civil War and then that night Superman dredges a river and finds a skeleton and dumps it into their porch, claiming it's their ancestor. Superman dredging and dumping corpses is shown to be a heartfelt act of kindness, not the terrifying whim of a demigod.

Mine had that too, except he also left all the other skeletons there to rot, and then claims to have run an overnight DNA test on the skeleton, which means that he violated at least one member of the family's bodily autonomy while they slept because otherwise how would he have a sample to compare to.

I would have much more happily accepted that, but nope, his note specifically says he took it to a lab and did a special rush-job DNA test on it.
