He had daddy issues so he vented them on superman. Daddy hit him or something and God didn't stop it so lex blames superman for being God and not stopping daddies bad touch

"And now, God bends to my will."

fun

People in higher positions of power/power above him in general triggers him

His motivation is that he's "crazy", like every half-baked "crazy" villain made by hack writers who don't understand a damned thing about mental illness.

Part megalomania, part Darksied manipulation.

>>88052093
He hated that people were literally worshipping Superman and calling him a god and wanted to prove them wrong by proving that super man is neither all good(killing Batman) nor all powerful (getting killed by doomsday). Specially batmans death should seem like an act of malice with superman holding batmans head, while being seen by the whole world

You could argue that there should be enough evidence for that but it's no wonder people still consider superman godlike given the impossible feats he has shown in the last months, his altruism, that he came from the sky and looks like a Greek sculpture of a god.

He wasn't introduced as a god though. He was introduced as a target for invading aliums

The writer's room basically said 'What would happen if we took every meme about internet atheists ever posted and made him the Joker?'

Then Snyder, his lungs filled with his own semen as he had recently learned to self-fellate, gargled out 'Nah, Lex Luthor'.

The people of that world saw him as such, he even got a statue with him looking down and his hand reaching to the ground.

>What was his motivation in the movie exactly?
>Did he just want to watch the world burn /co/?
It changed with each scene, because he was a very poorly-written character who was the product of two very different writers.

>First he appears to despise superman as some kind of false god and wants to use a mortal (batman) to kill him in order to disprove his divinity.
>That or he likens him to a potential dictator, the likes of which his abusive East German dad had to salute when young.
>Later he creates Doomsday to kill supes, if doomsday was seriously powerful enough to kill superman and batman then it's safe to say he could wipe out the planet. So Lex basically was willing to kill off the planet just to get supes.
I believe at this point Lex believed he could control Doomsday. He appears shocked when Doomsday attempts to strike him after being "born".

>(so why rope in batman in the first place?)
You could look at it as either a Plan A or a distraction while his Doomsday plot moved forward.

>And at the end of the movie it's implied he has invited Darkseid to come to Earth.
No, not necessarily; he knows that Darkseid is incoming, but there's nothing to state that he necessarily invited him. Perhaps it was automated, perhaps it was Doomsday.
I haven't seen the extended cut but I believe Steppenwolf makes an appearance so that may shed some light.

this shit is hilarious

protip if you have to explain a joke it's not funny

>>And at the end of the movie it's implied he has invited Darkseid to come to Earth.
Did it occur to you he might have been manipulated by Darkseid the entire fucking movie?

Sure maybe he's partially upset with the classic Lex god complex but all of the "crazy" can be easily explained by Darkseid.

Instead of holding true to the original character, the studio demanded he act more like the Joker because the Dark Knight was their last big money maker.
