Yeah, part of me will always wish he could've stayed good, but judging from Superman, Action Comics, New Superman, and Superwoman, him going bad would be the logical choice.

But it makes me a little sad, as Ardora is alive in this continuity, and in the Silver Age she was Lex Luthor's wife on the planet Lexor, a planet that worshipped HIM as the hero and saw Superman as the villain. ALL ending in tragedy, when in Lex's insanity lures Superman to Lexor for a final showdown in his WARSUIT, where he accidentally causes Lexor, the planet that worshipped him as a GOD as well as his wife and child...to explode. And considering Prime Earth Luthor can be thought of as an evolved version of Pre-Crisis Earth-1 Luthor, I feel that DEEP in his sub-conscious there's gotta a part of him that feels remorse for that.

What I would do, is have someone like the Psycho Pirate cause LOTS of people to unearth their sub-conscious time-changed memories, NOT just from pre-flashpoint but PRE-crisis! Have Lex go through a WHOLE identity crisis where he shifts from serious modern business villain, to silly silver age over the top villain!
