Lex Luthor, Good Guy Again? – Justice League #53 Spoilers

Lex Luthor, the bad guy for ages until he saved the world and then became a hero, leading the Justice League alongside Superman until, while crossing the Source Wall, Luthor stings the Justice League in the back, and as the Source Wall breaks they ask why and he tells them "it's in my nature". That's how the Justice League thing went, right?

Well, it's all happening again, because you know what they say, those who reboot their history are condemned to repeat it. We noted a depowered Lex Luthor has reappeared in Hell Arisen #3, and in Death Metal #3, then doing his best impersonation of Destiny Of The Endless in the Death Metal Guidebook.  He's got a notebook with sketches of the Daily Planet building, and a bunch of little Death Metal boxes located by Lobo. And now he turns up in the Death Metal crossover  Justice League #53.
