The Villain of the Story Part 2—Evil Businessman

Host Anthony Desiato digs into Post-Crisis Lex Luthor, aka the evil businessman of the late 80s and 90s, with guest Scott Honig. Anthony and Scott discuss this reinvention of Lex as depicted in comics (Byrne's MAN OF STEEL, LEX LUTHOR: THE UNAUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY, and more), television (LOIS & CLARK: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN), and animation (SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES)

This is Part 2 of "The Villain of the Story," a multi-part event examining Superman's ultimate opponent, Lex Luthor, across time and media. Come back next Tuesday (6/21) as Anthony and guest Bernie Gerstmayr consider the resurgence of the Pre-Crisis Lex during the mid-2000s.
