Hoult\u2019s Lex greeted Flag sarcastically, saying, \u201cGeneral Flag, what an unexpected delight. Last time I saw you, you were denying that metahumans were a threat. And now it seems they\u2019re taking over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the dialogue, Luthor was sentenced to 265 years in prison. Rick Flag offered him a deal: assistance in locating Peacemaker in exchange for a transfer to a facility without metahumans. Lex dismissed Peacemaker as a mere vigilante without advanced abilities, saying, \u201cBeing goofy is no threat,\u201d but Flag framed the arrangement as \u201can opportunity for redemption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Online discussions quickly amplified the reveal.

The show has built connections to Superman (2025), where Hoult first appeared as Lex. Episode 6 ended with Flag revealing to Sasha (Sol Rodr\u00edguez) that Luthor is helping them, leaving the extent of his involvement for later episodes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fans are buzzing about the return of a major Superman character in Peacemaker Season 2 after the surprise reveal in Episode 6.
