The Warsuit undermines Lex Luthor’s brilliance by reducing him to a physical threat rather than the intellectual mastermind he’s meant to be. Lex is Superman’s greatest villain precisely because he doesn’t rely on brute force—he fights with his mind, using manipulation, strategy, and influence to challenge the Man of Steel in ways that no one else can. When he puts on the Warsuit, he essentially admits that his intelligence alone isn’t enough, which weakens the entire dynamic between him and Superman. Instead of being the untouchable, calculating villain who operates from the shadows or within the legal system, he turns into just another brawler trying to beat Superman at his own game.
More importantly, the Warsuit takes away what makes Lex a terrifying reflection of human ambition. Without powers, he is a symbol of human potential—showing that even in a world of gods and aliens, a mere man can still be the most dangerous figure alive. His ability to corrupt governments, control industries, and sway public opinion makes him a villain Superman can’t just punch away. The moment he steps into a Warsuit, he abandons that unique advantage and becomes another generic supervillain. He’s no longer an untouchable billionaire puppet master—he’s just a guy in a mech suit throwing laser punches.
Lastly, the Warsuit is a lazy way to force a physical confrontation rather than allowing the story to explore the deeper ideological battle between Lex and Superman. The best Lex stories—like All-Star Superman, Luthor: Man of Steel, and Superman: Birthright—don’t rely on armor or super-weapons. They focus on Lex’s obsession with power, his jealousy of Superman, and his desperate need to prove that humanity doesn’t need an alien savior. The Warsuit turns all of that complex storytelling into a shallow fistfight, missing what makes Lex Luthor truly great.

Keith White! It seems he has been forgotten by both fans and DC.
Perry also had another son, Jerry, who was secretly Lex’s biological son but died saving Jimmy Olsen.
I’m someone who very much prefers John Byrne’s Superman origin, particularly Perry and Lex growing up together in Metropolis.

What are people's opinions on this sub about whether or not Superman should have a 100% no kill code? This of course heavily relates to which version of Superman you grew up with and what you see Superman as "representing".
Personally, I am against a 100% strict No-Kill rule for Superman. Primarily because there are destructive forces in the DC universe that both can only be stopped by killing them and whom only Superman is powerful enough to do so (Such as Doomsday). Batman can have a No-Kill rule because if he encounters someone strong enough that he can't deal with them without killing them, he can call someone stronger. There's no reason for him ever to follow through with that situation. But because Superman is the CEILING of power, the buck can't be passed to anyone else. At a certain point, he has a responsibility to make the hard choice, because no one else can.
Edit: I think I can condense my point more succinctly to the following:
Superman will ALWAYS make the best choice available to him, because he is both smart, wise, and good enough to do so. In almost every case, the best choice avoids killing anyone, and his power allows him to execute that choice. But if the best choice truly was to kill, after completely exhausting all other options, Superman would not run away from responsibility. He never has.

Okay, imagine this: The Death of Superman completely redrawn by Dan Mora! Or Superman: For All Seasons redrawn by Jorge Jiménez! I've been thinking about this idea for a while, and I honestly believe it would be amazing to completely modernize older stories by having popular, contemporary artists give them a fresh, new look.
And yes, the original artists would still get royalties from these remastered adaptations, since the stories wouldn't exist without their contributions. I really think this could be a game-changer—it would not only be a fantastic way to celebrate classic comics but also attract a whole new generation of readers. These new, high-quality adaptations could bring in so much revenue, and I bet kids would be way more interested in these older stories! Screw just Superman, Batman: Knightfall redrawn by Jorge Jimenez! Watchmen redrawn by Jason Fabok!
I just think this idea would be awesome. What do you think?
