SUPERMAN: THE FIENDISH MACHINATIONS OF LEX LUTHOR

Superman: The Fiendish Machinations of Lex Luthor is a loving parody and fan film tribute to the classic characters of the Superman comics, movies, cartoons and movie serials.

A unique, comedic take on Superman, featuring puppetry, this short film finds Superman putting a stop to Lex Luthor’s scheme to use a giant robot to take over Metropolis. But it seems this is only the beginning of Lex’s scheme.

The film finds ways of poking fun at the Superman myth, using puppet Martin Grey to portray Clark Kent/Superman.
