Ignoring the social commentary, is what he is saying actually outlandish in the DC universe? I mean, super villains poisoning the water supply for whatever reason ain't farfetched.

Is it really a farfetched conspiracy?
>is what he is saying actually outlandish in the DC universe?
Not necessarily, which I'd argue is a problem.
Actual weird shit is constantly happening in DC, the last thing they need is misinformation, which seems to be the implication there.
>Lex Luthor: Interesting
I haven't read comics in years, have they actually turned Lex Luthor into an Elon Musk figure?
That's not Lex, it's a pro Lex account, read the name "Free Lex Luthor" (he's in jail)
And to answer your question, he kinda already was.
what makes you a smarter, more impressive, more dangerous global threat
1. Inventing dangerous things, committing massive obvious crimes and bribing your way out with political friends, having clever plans to rob or keep the world enslaved by your economic class, long term planning to eliminate the few threats to your power.
OR
2. Pretending to be a genius supervillain, blowing tons of your infinite cash that you mostly inherited from your father's emerald mine in order to take credit for random innovations other, nameless, people spend their lives developing, and being too fricking dumb not to make the world a worse place for everyone at every moment of your unquestioned global supremacy? Even scarier: there are not superheroes to stop you and the world would rather (literally) burn on Elon's whim than actually make him pay 1/1000th of the taxes he legally owes.
There was a Superman story called ‘Black Dawn’ where farmers in Kansas were putting alien dna in milk to mindcontrol superboy. Not chocolate milk but there you go.
>Batman sneaking around in the middle of the night to milk a cow for evidence
That's so goofy, I love it.
It's not, and the fact that you have the writer malding this transparently and trying to force the comparison just makes it impossible to take the story seriously
Are you seriously expecting the activist who wrote it to actually know anything about the property he's using as a sandbox or to make sure his hot opinion makes sense in the context of the universe? He just wants to get his point out there, he doesn't give a frick about anything else.
>sandbox
*soapbox
I mean, their argument is built on sand.

Anything is outlandish if you claim it without any real evidence. This is true in any universe.
'It could be happening' is not real evidence.
Both of those things are literally true in DC. The 'chemicals in the water' bit was also true IRL. It wasn't turning frogs gay, but causing them to swap genders (some amphibians can do this).
They could've made a commentary about how the world is so outlandish now, it's getting hard to determine what's real and what's fake. That would probably be more unnerving because you have no reason NOT to believe everything you hear and you'd be a paranoid wreck.
even the dumbest conspiracies can sound believable when the actual truth is more nonsensical and that's the problem
We should make solving a 9 piece jigsaw puzzle a prerequisite for voting. Then we'll filter all the people who unironically get their news from podcasts and Twitter out of our democracy.
There already was a filter for voting back then, it was being a landowner.
>Our democracy.
Hey Klaus, how's retirement treating ya?
>alien DNA in the milk
Luthor's anti-Superman sentiment fostering plots sure went down hill over time. From "Superman plans to enslave us all and rule the Earth with an iron fist" to "Superman jerks off in your chocolate milk".
>Superman jerks off in your chocolate milk
To be fair that wouldn’t be too OOC for silver age superman
Damn the Not Rogan is SWOLE as hell.
Look at that arm.
He could probably 1v1 Superman.
