Luthor (book idea)

Luthor is a book about the canon DCEU's insane Lex Luthor. The plot centers around him in his past and present day. He goes searching for more Kryptonite in the present, but then finds more enemies along the way. In the past he struggles to fit in. The novel is written by Holly Black and Bobby Flay.

Plot
The book starts out with a young Lex being told by his father to enjoy a party. Lex wants to be alone to work on something, but his father insists on that he attends the party.

Within the party the party-goers even find Lex too insecure or too goofy. Lex eventually ends up just drinking fruit punch by himself in the corner.

Trivia

 * This book explains a lot of confusion about the character.
 * PewDiePie said the book was "the best of times and the worst of times." Felix then says he would have liked an explanation for why Black Sabbath was working for LexCorp.
 * While technically a tie-in novel, Geoff Johns said that the novel is not quite canon in terms of the present events. Patty Jenkins said it is very non-canon. Zack Snyder said the novel is canon to whoever wants it to be. Joss Whedon said it is super canon. The authors have not said anything about it being canon or not.
 * Quite recently a movie came out that seemed to treat the novel as canon, but a movie a few months later seemed to try to retcon the whole previous movie. Bad direction was blamed, and the internet frowned.
 * Subreddits and multiple posts were made about the issue of the novel's ambiguous canon. Some say it is canon while others do not. Surely, Snyder was right.
 * According to Flay, Bane was going to be added but instead was replaced by Pho Savage.
 * During it's second printing the novel sold less because people find out the book was made out of paper.
 * Daniel Radcliffe bought a copy and said it was a "smoked Gouda".
 * Chris Terrio said the book is "a nice addition."
 * Katniss Everdeen said the book was stupid.
 * Barry Allen's cameo was called "oddly ugly" by Lance Thirtyacre. Probably as a joke.
 * Black Yoshi and Mario both disliked the book, but Cody and Richard did.
 * Peter Sagal interviewed the editor for the novel, Anonymous Cricket, and they both agreed that the book was "faulty, but faultless."
