I really like this story. It's fun to explore what could have happened and how things could have gone wrong. Of course we don't want Lex to win and Superman to be vilified, but I view this more as a "what if?" than an "it should have happened this way."

I like the format of a kids' play. Beyond just telling what happened after Nightfall, it shows how the kids have been taught Lex's version of history. It's got a real brainwash-y vibe to it that makes the whole thing feel even more insidious.

Altogether, this is a fun story, and I really enjoyed it.

"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)
