No, but you'll find most people disagree Superman in STAS is black. Especially since STAS sequel series depicts both him and Lex with lighter skin tones due to changes in character design, animation, and coloring.

Darker skinned, sure. Black? Mmmm, debatable.

Oddly enough, the blog I got the pic from:

This was highly educational. Thank you.

While that's completely true, the voice actors race has absolutely nothing to do with a character's heritage.

I was re-reading Death of Superman recently and when Doomsday punched Supergirl she turned into like, a blue string cheese man.

Had to Google that and learned of that weird time when DC wanted a Supergirl but didn't want any more Kryptonians >_>

Supergirl has a history so complicated only Hawkman can top it.

I wasn't saying that he couldn't look like a character of Greek descent, but that he was drawn in a way that was indistinguishable from the black characters outside of the shade of his skin

The internet is a weird place. People will argue to the death that anime characters are obviously white because they're drawn as white people but Lex can't possibly be black despite being drawn as black. Why isn't he black? Cause of some obscure bit of trivia about some greek actor 40 years ago that nobody has ever heard of that you need to research deep in the recesses of DCAU history to find out? Death of the author prevails no matter the medium, and the dude is black regardless of the mental gymnastics required to explain otherwise.

When he stands up his towel is open in the front but you cannot see his dick! And I mean the towel is only covering a small tiny area near his waist. Of course he could have been tricked into drinking anaconda malt liquor which could possibly explain his being so evil.

I always assumed Lex was black in DCAU. Not just cuz if his skin, but just facial features as well.

Also there's not enough hating on Jesse Eisenberg in this thread.

Then they should have drawn him white instead of requiring their 12 year old fan base to search out obscure trivia a decade after the show ended.
