My first exposure to Lex Luthor was via Superman TAS where I thought he was black. When I saw other depictions of him like in the films I honestly thought it was a case of whitewashing.
Same thing happened with Justice league and Green Lantern, although JL's Green Lantern was actually black.

"caucasian" is a meme invented by american hack race biologists during the 19th century to try and integrate ethnicities from a variety of backgrounds into one multicultural pile of shit that is america today. irish, italians, swedes, germans, spaniards and greece had nothing in common so you came up with another word for european and pretended that being labeled it made anyone automatically better than the negroes and mestizos.

Why would she say a bargain is a bargain though? That's incredibly out of character for her. Remember Etrigan? She could have spoof'd away with her braindead child at the very least, or teleport them to Neptune for harming her son.

I think of him as Sicilian.

You know I read a lot, especially about history. I find that shit fascinating. Here’s a fact, I don’t know whether you know or not. Sicilians were spawned by niggers.

It’s a fact. You see Sicilians have black blood pumping through their hearts. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago. The Moors conquered Sicily, and the Moors are niggers. You see way back then, Sicilians were like wops from Northern Italy. They all had blond hair and blue eyes. But then the Moors moved in and they changed the whole country. They did so much fucking with Sicilian women that they changed the whole bloodline forever. That’s why blond hair and blue eyes became a bald fucking head and dark skin. You know it’s absolutely amazing to me to think that to this day, hundreds of years later, that Sicilians still carry that nigger gene.

Lex Luthor is part eggplant.

It can't be found from a quick google search apparently, but in one of the early StAS episodes you see Superman and Lex face to face and their skin tone is exactly the same. It's actually sort of jarring if you've seen most of the DCAU and then go back to that.

Because they did what no one else wanted to do: Legitimately flesh out cartoon superheroes. Even Steel was great in STAS, because they gave him a character. They weren't just there to be a gimmick, they had motivations and personalities.

People always disagree, but I think Superman had some of the most interesting development in the DCAU. Instead of making him grimdark or super shiny 24/7, you actually got to see the weight of the world hit him. You saw him become more jaded and skeptical, yet still trying to do the right thing. Then it all comes to him letting out his frustrations on Darkseid, which was satisfying to say the least.

IMO this is why while BTAS had higher highs, it was also incredibly inconsistent. it had some really great episodes, but then some really shit ones.

STAS on the other hand, while maybe never reaching some of the highs that Batman did, was far more consistent in quality, because even the less interesting episodes were still good, and well written

>>91722394
I hear lots of people saying that, but I never found any episode remarkably shitty. Maybe not particularly great, but not shitty.

I can agree on that. BTAS was god tier, but then would be pretty awful. STAS was always great, but never hit the highs of Batman. BB was consistently amazing, JLA ranged usually from good to mediocre, and JLU was usually god tier with only a few weak episodes.

>>91721005

They entirely ignore it every day. Their goal is to change the status quo, which they consider to be white American hegemony, and since inter-minority conflict isn't related to that status quo, those conflicts are ignored, or blamed on the oppressive situations they surely must have been forced into, by their political enemy of choice.

I know he's supposed to be based on this guy....but I feel like they did a bad job at it.

I can still see a resemblance, but they made Lex's head longer and his lips thicker and his cheeks bigger. So Lex Luthor looks slightly based off of him, but he also looks like a more mixed race version of Telly Savalas.
