James Gunn's new Superman film showcases Lex Luthor's machinations as a modern, intellectual threat. But his ambition might be even simpler than his conspiracies suggest - a shockingly familiar desire for land and property.
is soaring into theaters, bringing with it a modern vision for the Man of Steel and his iconic world., presented as a formidable intellectual and strategic threat whose machinations ripple across the globe. The film wastes no time establishing the sheer scale of Luthor’s ambition, weaving a complex narrative of international conflict, clandestine super-powered assets, and immense corporate power. Yet, for all its nuance, a core motive driving Superman ’s arch-nemesis is shockingly familiar.
Luthor’s alliance with Glarkos is the engine of the entire Boravia-Jarhanpur conflict. As Lois Lane uncovers, he has supplied Boravia with over eighty billion dollars worth of advanced LuthorCorp military technology, while only charging for a small fraction of its value. This apparent generosity has a steep price, as once Boravia’s invasion of Jarhanpur is complete, Luthor is owed half of the conquered nation’s territory, which is incredibly rich in petroleum.
This recurring obsession with land and property ultimately grounds Luthor’s super-genius in a uniquely tangible form of villainy. While his intellect allows him to challenge gods, his goals are often tied to the most basic of human desires: to own, to possess, and to build wealth from the ground up. It creates a fascinating contrast with Superman, a being of immense power who serves the entire world but lays claim to none of it.
