Red Kryptonite Superman has been riding Lex Luther’s salami forever, from what I always suspected. The WC series Smallville kinda dabbled with the paraphernaliac affection between Lex Luther and Kal-El. Various types of Kryptonite are like various date rape drugs that penis-head Lex uses on Superman, to attain various results from Rohypnol to Ketamine. The 1960s TV series Batman still has a significant bondage subculture fan following; but that is a kinky fluke, stemming from the requisite bondage cliffhangers. But the gay Love <—> Hate relationship between Lex Luther and Superman transcends media, as does Clark Kent’s asexual affection for Lois Lane, who is usially portrayed as a bland beard sexually latent dyke type. Oy vey ist mir! Do not get me started on Smurfs!
