Lois Lane's plan for the interview
[ ]Plan See what Gives
Main Approach: Remain professional but imply unpleasant things about the man to throw Lex off his game and see how he responds when things don't go according to his plans.
Topic you want to hit A: Lex Luthor is a control freak who needs to micromanage everything to feel in control at the expense of others.
A1 Argument: Luthor has put his name on virtually everything in the company from the name (LuthorCorp to LexCorp to the brand). Clearly he is very heavily invested in the company. Signs indicate its not to a healthy degree at all, especially since he almost never leaves the building at all. You want to know what kind of mindset leads a person to act like this.
A2 Argument: Luthor has little social life outside of his work. Everything he actually does is kept secret from the public and even from the vast majority of his own workers. This indicates that Luthor has something to hide. You want to find out what.
A3 Argument: Luthor felt the need to install an incredibly paranoid surveillance and security system long before he was well known to the public. This indicates that he felt unsafe. Very quickly an attempt was made on his life. Did he make a deal with someone then renege on it which caused them to send assassins? It's unknown but you do know that he felt it was necessary to spy on his own workers to an incredibly extensive degree. Furthermore besides Luthor and his personal assistant Mercy Graves no one else knows the full security and surveillance layout of the building.
Topic you want to hit B: Lex Luthor's relationship with his father
B1 Argument: Lex felt it necessary to remove all traces of his father from the company
B2 Argument: Lex and Lionel were known to have an antagonistic relationship. Lionel sent Lex to boarding school at a very early age. Lionel supposedly died from a sudden stroke in the privacy of his own home. Lex quickly took up the reigns of the company. Lionel had a closed casket funeral. This paints an ugly picture.
Topic you want to hit C: What went down in LexCorp and who are these assassins.
C1 Argument: There was an attack on Lex Luthor. Why would someone want to kill a cell phone mogul? Clearly there has to be a motive.
C2 Argument: Of the 24 different assassins who made an attempt on Lex's life there were four main groupings in the morgue of how they were killed. Most were shot to death, although some of them were shot many more times than the others. One was crushed to death. One had apparently choked to death. The five assassins who died in police custody appear to have been killed with a bladed weapon of some kind. Why is there such a discrepancy in the cause of death?
C3 Argument: Who is Ra's al Ghul and what does Lex Luthor know about him? There has to be some connection.
Rebuttals to expected challenge
Challenge 1: Weapons were necessary to make people safe
Response 1: If that is the case why has Lex moved away from it?
Challenge 2: The security was used to keep his people safe in case of an attack.
Response 2: Why did Lex feel it was necessary to keep his people safe? There had never been an assassination attempt on this scale before
Challenge 3: LexCorp is hiring the best scientists in the world to make it a better place
Response 3: Are they really? Anthony Ives is notably documented as being very obsessive and being very rude to others at his previous place of employment at S.T.A.R. Labs and one could argue that the man's terminal illness is only increasing what is wrong with him. Pamela Isley was described by Jason Woodrue, one of her colleagues at Gotham university as overly idealistic and claims she is almost megalomaniacal. Are these really the best people for the job?
