Yeah anyway it's retarted that either osborne and Luthor got in power but maybe it was how writers feel about out last presidency. Some douche rising to power and doing some ****ed up shit.Anyway the general public are usually far dumber so why would comic book life be any different?
Luthor at that point wasn't a known criminal IIRC. He was very good at keeping his criminal activities off the public Radar.
