That brothers thing was a piss poor idea I agree but I love Byrne's Lex. He's just so sinister, he really doesn't care who he hurts, he wants what he wants and he gets it.

The porn thing with Barda was a major WTF?! But I think it was a bad attempt at making it more adult.

I will agree I don't enjoy Byrne's run quite as much these days and Birthright just did it better than the Man of Steel origin story.

But each to their own, I can't read really old co,it's these days from the 50s/60s cause they really talk down to the audience.
