Plan B

If Man won’t kill God – we are sold on this line. It is beautiful and it sums up the lengths to which Lex Luthor will go in order to have his way. He would even make a pact with the devil.

But the problem is that Lex had no idea that, ultimately, Batman won’t kill Superman. So he had no idea that he will indeed need Doomsday, a creature capable of killing both of the heroes. Are we supposed to suspect that this Batman v Superman version of the killing machine listened to Lex’s will, just because it had his blood?

Anyway, it is either one plan or the other. And if we were Lex and Doomsday listened to our will, we would have chosen the Doomsday plan from the start.
