I can't remember what season I was watching when I decided to check out the Superman movies with Chris Reeves.
It wasn't easy to get through them because it looked so dated, but I went into Smallville knowing nothing about Superman. It was fun to go in blinded though; no expectations. I guess that's why I hated that Lex turned evil. All I know pretty much was Smallville, so it crushed me.
When did Lex turn evil? Other versions of Lex are mostly of him as an older man, haha.
