It was all over the news. By this point it was wholly inescapable, everywhere you turned it was being reported on. It. Another one of those flying imbeciles with a Kryptonian symbol on their suit. This one a winged creature instead of the typical S. This Kryptonian wore a suit of armor, just on the surface level this new alien looked like more of a threat than the Man of Steel, original edition. But of course the city responded positively to such a being, they seemed to always have nothing but open arms for aliens from another world. Even after the whole ordeal with the Kryptonians declaring war on Earth. It was the S no doubt, the symbol spoke volumes and anyone with it brazenly displayed on their torso was at least given the benefit of the doubt. Preposterous!
With all of this being fact and the sudden re-emergence of Lex Luthor into the public eye, one would not have to perform much of a mental stretch to assume the billion would have a certain skewed sort of view of the newest hero hailing from Krypton. However, things did not always play out as one might assume or expect. The news of this new Nightwing was a thrilling sort, it was news to rejoice about certainly. Who could disagree after all?
"...and that is why I've decided to hold this banquet. For all that this brave new hero has done for this city we should welcome him, and properly so! He has done things the right way, without all the posturing and public damage that others who have worn that familiar S seem to come featuring." The crowd offered up a soft chuckle.
Most in attendance were honestly ignoring Lex, these were the type of people who only came to such lavish events for the chance of elbow-rubbing and the accompanying feasts that were often laid out. Lex didn't mind though, none of this was done for the people who tripped over themselves to arrive. This was to gain the attention of one person, one who probably would not even attend. However, curiosity was a strong thing and not even Kryptonians were immune to its seduction. Luthor smirked at the press that gathered around him, his eyes drifting to the world beyond the windows as he stared off into the blue sky.
