"The multiverse has a way of aligning fates...It's written in the stars and in this book, or I wouldn't know that on this Earth, Clark Kent is Superman. Where I come from, that would be ridiculous. He can't see past his glasses." —Lex Luthor[src] This article is about the newspaper publisher set in the Superman Returns universe. This article only contains information relevant to the Arrowverse.
