->''"Why the fuck is [[Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice business-savvy Lex Luthor]] pulling plays from [[Film/TheDarkKnight The Joker rulebook of terrorism]]?

He's not framing Superman by setting off the bomb -- Superman is absolved of suspicion almost immediately -- nor is he pushing along any master plan to get [=LexCorp=] to dominate the computing and aerospace industries. Besides the script making Lex an asshole, why the hell does he do it?\\
