This version of Lex Luthor is portrayed more as a mad scientist and power hungry dictator than the Lex Luthor we're used to seeing.
Lex is an incredibly skilled scientist, having used various inventions to conquer several minor European nations before being stopped by Superman and using the remainder of his resources to stop Superman.
This version of Lex Luthor became the ruler of numerous small European nations through his inventions before he was stopped by Superman.

- 1.1 Golden Age
Joker is willing to kill but more interested in over-the-top crimes. He's prankish and playful. He's also more interested in the publicity rather than the crime itself.
The Joker is a persistent enemy, but more so because of the fact that Batman can't figure out his plan.
This Joker is much more psychotic than the previous incarnation, having been driven insane by a fight with Batman as the Red Hood. He's also able to fight off Batman, Robin, and Superman working together. He can also even be a struggle for the Justice League.
The Joker is much more threatening in this version. His past with Batm…

- 1.2.3 Love Interest
- 1.1 Modern Age
This Harley is insane, and everything she does is to get into the Joker's good terms. She's also very fit and intelligent, though hidden by a bumbling attitude that often bites her in the butt. She can easily be handled by Batman, Robin, and Batgirl. She also has a friendship with Poison Ivy.
Harley was an intern at Arkham before the Joker twisted her, but she appeared to have done well until the Joker twisted her, after which, she relied more on fighting and clown-based weaponry rather than her mind.
Harley is completely devoted to the Joker, to the point of obsession. This is easily her A…

- 1.2 Silver Age
- 1.2.1 Personality
- 1.2.2 Batman
- 1.2.3 Mentor
- 1.1 Golden Age
Bruce Wayne is much more of a calm person without any playboy activity, even becoming a police commissioner. His motivations for being Batman are the same however.
Bruce makes a much more violent Batman, even using a gun in his earlier appearances and killing. He does however lighten up when he takes Robin as his sidekick and also his daughter with Catwoman, Huntress. He eventually retires the role.
Bruce makes a decent mentor, but the relationship is heavily improved upon in later versions.
Bruce Wayne is a more light-hearted version of the Golden Age Batman. He also hangs out with Robin a lot more and is perfectl…

- 1.2.2 Robin
- 1.2.3 Nightwing
- 1.2.4 Batman
- 1.1 Golden Age
Grayson is still fairly lighthearted, but he also refuses to become Batman as he believes only Bruce Wayne can be Batman. Instead, he just continues on as Robin into his adult life, the only Dick Grayson to do so.
Unlike all other interpretations, Dick Grayson is only Robin and still serves as Batman's sidekick until Batman retired the role, He was also a member of the Justice Society of America in this universe.
As stated before, Nightwing never existed in the Golden Age, only an older version of Robin.
Aside from a quick Silver Age appearance where Robin wears a …

Zod has incredible charisma and leadership skills, even after his exile into the Phantom Zone.
Zod is cunning and a good strategist.
Zod is charismatic as always and also expertly deceptive, being able to deceive Alura In-Ze into believing he had been redeemed while secretly working on the conquest of Earth and New Krypton, earning him another imprisonment in the Phantom Zone. He's also vengeful towards Jor-El, and by extension Superman.
Zod is extremely cunning and always plans for the next move. First off, he and Ursa discovered an area of the Phantom Zone where they were corporeal, allow…

Jor-L is very practical minded. This lead to his creation of the rocket that would send Kal-L to Earth due to the earthquakes that were continually increasing in severity and decreasing in intermediate time.
Jor-L was very practical, but he was still smart enough to construct a ship that could safely take Kal-L to Earth.
Jor-L is a caring husband, originally intending to send both his wife and son away to save them until Lara declined in favor of getting Kal-L off of the doomed planet quicker.
Jor-L was a protective father as he defended Kal-L from de…

Like all of the Golden Age Kryptonians, Lara had her powers no matter what environment and put her son's safety over everything else.
Not much is shown about how Lara acts as a wife. However, it is shown that Jor-L made a ship to send her and Kal-L to Earth in the Sol III system, but Lara refused to be with Jor-L as well as to ensure that Kal-L made it safely.
As stated before, Lara put her son's safety over everything, choosing to remain with Jor-L as Kal-L's lesser …
