tell the story of Lex Luthor as a guy who was going to help the world with his genius, and then gradually got distracted and obsessed with xenophobic thoughts about superman until he becomes an enemy of the world. basically it could be like an origin story of Superman sortof, but told from the point of view of his enemy

Lex was like that before Superman showed up, though. That's kind of the point.

That's what he tells himself but it's been shown multiple times across multiple forms of media that without Superman he just... doesn't. He just uses his genius to make himself more powerful and more famous.

I think you could argue that he becomes more homicidal and over the top because of Superman though.

Like he was always a selfish asshole but Superman is basically an offense he can't get over.

Sure. If the story went with an unreliable narrator approach and we find out at the end the whole "I was a genius saving the world until Superman showed up" was his personal perspective and he was awful the entire time it could work, but it'd have to be a bait-and-switch like that unless they just rewrote the character.

It's like saying J Jonah Jameson was a nice guy before Spiderman showed up.

We need a dark gritty version of Lex's hair being burned off and Lex stealing forty cakes.

I think if I went for Luthor you could maybe go for a Breaking Bad sort of route. Like a guy who gradually gets worse and worse as he rises to the top, screws over and hurts others and always finds a way to justify it.

But at the end of the day he's just a selfish asshole who wants to be on top and is willing to do anything to be there.

If the political commentary of Joker was about people at the bottom of the system then the political commentary of Lex should be about the people at the top.
