Alright Zig Forums who is the better written and more interesting villain Lex or Joker?
bump
Lex. Joker is just like “BUAHAHAHAH IM GONNA DRINK OCEAN WATER” and Batman has to stop him, while Lex does actually cool stuff.
There are no good or bad characters, only good and bad writers.
>who is the better written and more interesting villain
Lex gets to be an actual character most of the time, Joker extremely inconsistent. I'd say Lex is more consistently interesting while Joker has better highs and worse lows
Real answer is though
Lex, because he's far away from the "unidimensional" spectrum and had more going on than Joker ever did.
On the other hand, listen to
Joker because hes cooler and like batman steals the show.
Lex is definitely worse written though on the account of Superman rarely getting any decent writers. Most of the time, it's someone like Jurgens.
What's wrong with Jurgens?
He's not good
Really? Why?
There's no objective answer to which character is better because it depends on the quality of the story and the skills of the creative team involved
That said
There are more good Lex stories than there are good Joker stories
There is no Joker equivalent of Lex's arc in All Star Superman, for instnace
Jurgens writes some great Superman, did you read his Rebirth run?,it was pretty great
Lex and Joker should hang out more.
>Jurgens
Is this bait? Jurgens is decent
Holy fags
Lex actually got to BE Superman, while Joker never reached his goal of fucking Batman
>What is The Killing Joke?
>What is Emperor Joker?
>What is....etc
You need to read more comics
That's not his goal
Joker. Lex is just like “WAWAWAAAH I WISH I WAS AN ALIEN” and Superman has to stop him, while Joker does actually cool stuff.
>Occasionally
Joker
>Consistently
Lex.
He's Batman right now.
Oh Lex by far, especially since Joker has just gotten worse and worse over the last 15 or so years.
Joker has become less of a character and more of I don’t really know what to call it other than a mary sue. Like writers just want to out edge each other with him, he always wins or has the upper hand in some way, and he’s just incredibly one dimensional.
Like I can believe a group of villains following Lex but I literally cannot suspend disbelief for villains following Joker or non street level villains/heroes being scared of him and yet Joker is apparently the scariest man on the planet.
>>What is The Killing Joke?
Crap that even Moore knows is crap
>>What is Emperor Joker?
Bigger crap that inspired The Batman Who Keks
>You need to read more comics
So are you
Lex also had a son with Superman: Superboy
Gorilla Grodd.
>Crap that even Moore knows is crap
And yet it's still better than anything Luthor's ever had
>Bigger crap that inspired The Batman Who Keks
Well done for proving to everyone ITT that you don't even read the comics you talk about, retard.
DOOM
>There is no Joker equivalent of Lex's arc in All Star Superman, for instnace
What fucking arc????
People say all the time that he 'redeems' himself at the end
Then why Superman still punch him and act like he's just as evil as ever and that's portrayed as a narratively righteous thing???
>Doom
>A villain
Lex is better written
Joker is better written
would metropolis be better of if superman raped lex luthor?
Lex rapes Lois daily
He's not a real writer. He only gets hired because he sucks the higher suites and doesn't go against them. Basically the Land of writers.
