Doomsday Clock: Everything We Know About DC's Watchmen Crossover
7. Ozymandias Meets Lex Luthor
Who knows what alliances and rivalries will be born in Doomsday Clock?
Batman joining forces with Night Owl and Rorschach, or how about The Comedian facing off against the Joker? Nobody would be laughing come the end of that one.
Well, at least one of these pair-ups has been confirmed beyond Superman-Doctor Manhattan because Geoff Johns hit us with a spoilerific teaser at Comic-Con...
“I love seeing the smartest man from one world talking to the smartest man from another. The smartest man from this world, DC, is Lex Luthor. That’s all I’ll say.”
Anyone who knows their Watchmen lore will tell you that Ozymandias is the smartest man in the post-Minutemen world of the 1986 series, so Johns is clearly hinting at a meeting of minds between Luthor and Adrian Veidt.
But are they working together, or against one another?
