    A permanent tan does not a black character make.

    Its bizarro Lex Luthor obviously.

    On a slightly unrelated note, was last week's episode, "Patriot Games," the Timmverse version of that Grant Morrison JLA Shaggy Man story?  IIRC, a general gets his mind put into the body of the comatose (since the 70's) Shaggy Man, gets a buzz cut, and whoops some JLA butt before they, um.. well I don't remember.  But it seemed to have a lot of paralells, right down to the big nasty teeth Jonah Jameson the General had.

    Inquiring minds, etc.

    About the tan thing, it looks to me like they did make lex luthor african american, if not hes definately not a caucasian fellow by my estimation. And so what, this lex out of all of his versions is my favorite. The one on smallville is a serious dork i cant see that guy taking over the world.

    Yeah, this was the Timmverse way of turning Eiling into the General.

    According to Timm & Co., when they created Superman:TAS, Lex was supposed to be look like Telly Savalas, who's of Greek descent. Lex is supposed to look Greek, not Black.

    Okay, so they made him ethnic. I guess the toon pallete is only limited to white/nonwhite, or in the case of Rampage bright orange 😀

    I think they made him a darker shade of caucasian. He's been white for 60+ years-I'm glad Timm and co. didn't do something stupid like suddenly make him black.

    Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.

    You protest much, it makes you wonder why you would have such a problem with him being something other than white. What with each superhero having 5 or 6 different versions of him or herself and all that alternate reality jazz it can't be because you believe a character should stay the same. Even lex himself was once a balding old man, is now on this show a buff greek dude. Before I end my little rant I just want to make it clear that I'm not calling you a racist or anything. It just brought to mind the Micheal Clarke Duncan playing Kingpin argument. From my point of view i just dont see the big deal.

    heres hoping i dont start a flame thingy!
