Lex Luthor
What is with Lex's hobo beard? Lex (Titus Welliver of 'Brooklyn South', 'Lost', 'The Last Ship', 'Kindred: The Embraced', 'Star Trek Voyager', 'The Twilight Zone', 'Jericho', 'Supernatural' and 'Agents Of SHIELD') meets his son Connor. There is no Superman despite this taking place in Metropolis. Krypto is seen as is the creepy looking Titan van. Lex Corp is mentioned. This was an incredible failure and a circus of the absurd. Lex had a lifelong obsession with Superman. Lex was a threat who caused deadly turmoil via terrorist methods. But due to shifting events Lex is dead. He was increasingly and publically in conflict with Superman so who took out Lex?
Lex's death should be historic event. What an end to his villain arc and a statement to the Titans. Their next move is a mystery to everybody. Lex and Connor had a moment of confrontation and understanding. Connor wants to be of service to others. Lex was another of this show's less explored ideas. Dick is a good guy trying to do good guy things.
Lex tried to kill Superman for 40 years. This was not a primal story. Dick gurns. There is no Donna. Nightwing beats up ninjas. Starfire wears a stripper outfit to meet Lex. There is hair flipping. This was dire. There are profound questions. Connor is disaffected. There are supposed threats. Dick wears his Nightwing outfit. The Daily Planet and its archive are shown. It has published since 1775 and has a lot on Lex like his felony arrests, convictions, piracy and space crimes.
This was made with carelessness. Lex has twitter. Connor is very very wary of Lex. As for Lex he knows who Dick and Superman are. There are more fight scenes and a pier 6 brawl. This was a blight. Lex was not normal or respectable. Lex was dying and now he's dead. He was a mythomaniac. You watch this with incredulity. This was ridiculous. What is the genetic material used to crate Connor?
Welliver put more thought into his role than TPTB. Best Lines:
“Soon the gods will know your name.”
“The gods already know me.”
“This power comes at a cost.”
“Are you dying?”
“Great man of steel.”
“They love you now.”
“Luthor section.”
“What you are.”
“This is me being gentle.”
“More ninjas.”
“Only man Bruce Wayne was ever afraid of.”
“Darker ideas than I do.”
“Man's a psychopath.”
“Spent her whole life feeling denied, overshadowed, less than.”

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 4
WTF is Gary? Why is Nate's father so emotionally abusive to him? Hank Heywood mocks Nate and claims he must teach at an online college. So he's mocking his son for having a disease? Nate wears a suit. Nate's father mocks him for getting a history degree. Why is Constatine on this show? Nate showed off his superowers. Nate has thanksgiving with his family, one of which you cna't mention Obama around. Nate was allowed an air rifle as a child? The plot of this show changed. Nate's evil dad was obviously meant to be the baddie. That changed. Thomas F Wilson plays Hank. This was uneveventful.
Best Line:
“The hiding of the feelings!”
