As a conclusion…

This theory has the best chances of being actually true – unlike all the other shocking theories, which have already been debunked (for example, Joker being a former Robin). Warner Bros has already considered presenting a different Lex Luthor on the big screens, but those projects died off – Man of Steel, on the other hand, laid the perfect ground for a new type of Luthor.

And while having a traditional supervillain, who has resisted decades or so without being drastically altered, does bring its advantages, maybe a change should be made.

Warner Bros and the DCEU might lose some fans if indeed Lex is a Kryptonian. But, at the same time, it will show that it isn’t afraid of making bets and playing its cards until the end.

For the moment, we are still in the dark though. But we wouldn’t be too surprised if this rumored origin story turns out to be true (after all, a mocked theory concerning the origins of Doomsday in the DCEU was revealed to be spot-on).
