bruce had taken up to making people think he’s awful at keeping things a secret
he has an ‘alt’ account on Twitter that everyone knows is him, commenting underneath all of lex’s tweets, but yet luther can’t pin it down to bruce to file the lawsuit
he’s well known for letting secrets slip during interviews, and for constantly not hiding his facial expressions during press conference
and then there’s all the times he’s publicly fallen into a fountain
so whenever the vague idea pops into somebody’s head that bruce wayne could be batman, they usually just shake their head and go to the next actual possibility
Bruce, Oliver, and Lex are kidnapped and held in an escape room. The Riddler’s work? Idk but it’s televised. And yeah, Batman can solve it no problem but he’s in his civies and Brucie Wayne is a known dumbass. So Oliver had to solve it for him and he’s being so smug about it, like ‘no, Oliver, I fucking knew that clue was there five minutes ago, I’ve been subtly getting your attention on it the whole time!’
Meanwhile Lex is absolutely seething cause how the hell does Bruce keep oopsy-daisying his way on finding the the clues they need to escape?
While all this is happening, the Arrow/Batkids are just hanging out outside where the three billionaires are being held. Yeah, they could save them, and they’re ready to. But they’d rather watch the shitshow unfold
Honestly? I'm in LOVE with the idea that Lex is a KonTim shipper till death. It's hilarious, and most importantly, it has unlimited potential.
Kon keeps dating other people and Lex is always sighing and going "When are you going to realize you're losing the chance to date someone better?" & he's referring to that Robin boy who might be strangely similar to Lex in more than one thing 🤭
Tim: "Hello, Mr. Luthor! I saw your new battle suit on TV yesterday, brilliant work! I wish I had one"
Lex: "Oh, my, thank you, Timothy! Although you don't need one, my dear Conner will surely protect you"
(I like to think that) Lex Luthor gets clowned on by literally everyone, and Bruce is the absolute worst.
Like he'll attend an event and a literal millisecond later, Bruce will roll up and steal all the attention. And when they're inside, him or one of his crazy "children" will "accidentally" spill very red wine all over his expensive ass suit.
And what can Lex even do?
Last time he retaliated and mildly shoved Bruce, the man very dramatically flung himself across the room and fell straight into a table. He hadn't even gotten hurt- not a single bruise or cut- but that drama queen didn't appear in public for an entire month after the incident. The backlash Lex had gotten was so not worth it.
And it doesn't stop there. His kids join in on the "fun" and bully him too.
Tim permanently bans him from all the platforms owned by Wayne enterprisese, which is like borderline illegal, so Lex sues and somehow always loses.
Jason Duke and Steph team up and make it a game to throw things on his head without him realising. And when Luthor catches one of them, he can't even shout at them or whatnot cause hes actually scared shitless. Jason, the absolute tank of a man, just grins at him while placing his hands on the very noticeable gun at his hip. Duke and Steph stand on either side of him, gripping literal knives in their hands.
Damian just outright walks up to him and begins insulting him in a couple of different languages. He always gives Lex a final disgusted look before turning and walking off.
Dick might seem the sweetest, approaching him while smiling in that nice way of his. He's the worst, though, cause he always makes sure to bring a few reporters with him before he innocently starts outing Lex's latest evil scheme in front of the audience. He makes sure to bring solid evidence of the nefarious plans, but right at the end, he goes, "idk I could be wrong," before shrugging and walling off.
Cassandra doesn't do much, but she's definitely the scariest. Whenever Lex has had enough and is about to call a hit on Bruce, she appears out of nowhere, stares straight at him, and just shakes her head while saying, "No. Regret"
Basically, Lex Luthor, public enemy #1, gets (justifiably) bullied by the entirety of the human population (honestly, only the Waynes).
