1	* During his visit to the {{Comicbook/Joker}}, Joker opens the conversation with a joke mocking Luthor's own obsession with Superman.
2	-->'''Joker''': You know what? I think If I can kill Franchise/{{Batman}} I'll save the world!
3	-->'''Luthor''': Interesting, a delusion akin to my own certainty that (gets the "joke") oh.
4	** Furious, he slams Joker against the wall and threatens to kill him. What does Joker say in response?
5	--->'''Joker''': "The Bat would come after you."
6	*** Immediately, Lex backs off, hands raised in a paranoid expression.
7	* Lex's expression [[http://supermania78.com/word/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/AC_900_2.jpg when he realizes]] ''at last'' that Franchise/{{Superman}} is Clark Kent. Even when faced with absolutely incontrovertible evidence he can barely bring himself to believe it, and he is completely speechless.
8	* Lex tries to ''bribe Death''.
9	--> '''Lex''': What would it take for you to change this? What do you need?\
10	'''Death''': [[DeadpanSnarker A pony]]. [[AllGirlsLikePonies A magic pony]]. [[Franchise/MyLittlePony A magic pony who sings]].\
11	'''Lex''': ...do you mean...literally? Is that some kind of creature that--?\
12	'''Death''': Sorry, I was joking.
13	** The [[ConversationalTroping conversation]] about how cheap Death seems, especially with how recent Blackest Night was. She just shrugs it off because [[BlackComedy all the zombies looked like they were having fun]] and resurrections happen, but eventually all deaths are or become permanent and Death has all the time in the world to wait it out.
14	* The morbidity of Death talking to a person recently deceased from a ski-related neck injury, who's utterly blissed out from Lex's powers. She's happy for her first ever break and he's just happy. Also they haven't been properly introduced yet.
15	* Luthor's employee Spalding, even when warning his boss about an attack, is polite and courteous.
16	-->"Sir if I may be so bold - - LOOK OUT - - sir!"
