DC Teases Lex Luthor’s New Costume
Lex Luthor is joining a growing list of DC characters who are getting a major visual overhaul this summer. Luthor's new look was revealed in a preview for June's Batman/Superman #21, which was featured in Convergence: Justice League of America #2 this week.
While Luthor will be retaining the familiar green and purple color scheme that's been his hallmark for decades, it's clear the villain is opting for more of a street level approach. His traditional armor has been replaced by a trenchcoat, sunglasses and gauntlets. If anything, he seems to be taking fashion advice from Static of the Static Shock franchise.
