Damn right he did. And the Man Who Laughs is like Joker, but on crack.
The problem with Luthor is that he treats Joker like a bad dog that he thinks he can properly potty train. Joker will perpetually sh_t on the carpet because you guys eat that like candy.
Ultimately it's Luthor's battle to lose because he's too cocky and he let Joker into his house.

Well, this is a Man Who Laughs thread, and it's not the first time Luthor was bested by Joker. Man who laughs took over a world, and killed all its heroes, including Spectre. Luthor has yet to do something like that.
Zone child Luther force Death of the Endless herself to take a vacation. Nothing the Batman who laugh has done will ever equalled that.
BWL can destroy the Multiverse, and Zone Child Luther will still be above him.

Luthor didn't really force Death to do anything.
You need to go read that scene again.
Due to the aura ZCL was giving off, Death became obsolete. That’s why Desth claimed this was her first vacation in a long time.
Even an abstract like one of the Endless, if not the most powerful one became useless due to Luthor’s aura.
So yes, Luthor may not have told Death to take a seat, but the aura forced her regardless.

Iirc, she said she could continue, and that the vacation was just for fun. Either way, Man who laughs is currently superior to Luthor. Joker even hinted as much, and one the reasons why Luthor needed to imprison him. I'm guessing that Batman will screw Luthor over once the storyline continues.
No. Luthor’s aura stopped death on a Multiverse scale. All negative effects were cancel. Death was denied. The only reason it was canceled, was because Luthor was too much of an ass that he couldn’t let his hate for Superman go.

It wasn't his aura, but of the Phantom Child. If both get prep, I think Luthor would lose. Batman is too crafty.
Did you even read that book? Luther fused with the Zone Child, even took on a new form with red face and tentacles behind him. The Zone Child was Luthor, and Luther was the Zone Child.
The Zone Child even told Luthor, all my powers are yours, but you’ll lose them if you try to hurt Superman. Luther the ego-maniac he is, even with absolute power at his finger tips couldn’t let his hate go.
That was the only stipulation made.
