Superman – doing the dirty work

Obviously, Lex has his own plans. However, they aren’t revealed until the much later on. For now, he poses as Clark’s savior of some sorts – he promises to clear his name, in chance for some favors.

And these aren’t the types of favors you believe – in fact, according to Max Landis, Lex asks Superman to defeat all the supervillains in the world. And Superman does his job very well, in the process also learning how to fight without causing unneeded destruction. The problem is that he isn’t sent only against the villains – he is sent against all metahumans.

Enter the Batman – already existing in this universe, Batman advices Superman against listening to Lex. Clark doesn’t pay attention and, eventually, he ends up defeating singlehandedly all the future Justice League members. Of course, in the meantime, he has plenty of chances to actually save people and become a hero.

So what happens next? Lex Luthor reveals his evil plan – taking over the world, with his own army of brainwashed superheroes.
