Im pretty sure it has to have happened at some point? If not what would he do with this information. Would he be like Joker and only try and kill Superman, but not even bother with Clark. Also, do you think since Lois found out about Clark/Superman, and Batman will inevitably find out too, should't it make sense if the worlds smartest man does too?

Since I can't edit it I'll just repost it here.

Weird, I can't edit the OP. Is that a thing now @deranged_midget?

Lois doesn't remember and I believe Batman already knows.

This is why I wanted to edit the OP. I meant in the movie.

If Lex knew Superman was Clark Kent he would run a smear campaign to ruin him. Imagine how he would twist Clark Kent into being an insult to humanity (weak, clumsy, and sloppy).

Reveal Clark to the world which could lead to Superman being asked to leave Earth and never return if Lex successfully frames him.

What could he really do besides ruin the Clark identity? His parents are dead and he really has no other family that needs protecting since Supergirl doesn't even have a secret identity. Kal would just have to give up being Clark.

@saint_wildcard:

He actually knew pre-52 and just couldn't accept it so he acted as if he didn't know when he really did

Tell the world and watch as Superman's villains killed everyone at the Daily Planet. He'd then use the tragedy to try and break Superman's spirit publicly.

he already found out like 20 years ago lol

@sog7dc: I have that comic. :p

hmmm Notifications don't seem to bring us to the reply at the moment.

@sog7dc: Accepting only his expectations proved to be a loss, he was too smart to notice the obvious, good old lex

Its been happening to me as well, but only when I'm tagged through any of the wiki boards. I had to search for the sog7dc's reply.

I was so excited reading that because i was like "John Byrne's shakin stuff up a bit" but then when lex rejected it i was like".....yeah that is lex though" lol

He wouldn't be able to accept it. He thinks Superman is a spy sent to scout the planet for an invading Alien force, but if Supes is Clark, his theory is wrong and Lex is too arrogant to be wrong.

So he refuses to accept it.

Get a nervous meltdown.

IDK how to feel about this. It sound right and in tune to Lex but it doesn't sit right with me.

His ego won't let him accept it.

Well, I think he'll figure it out in the MOS sequel. I read somewhere Snyder or Goyer (one of the two) said that Perry and others will have an inkling as to who Clark really is. All it takes is for Lex to get a good look at Clark and Supes and it's a done deal. I can't wait to see how they cover this.
