I think realistically he had no idea what doomsday was going to turn out to be. Which again raises the question, if he wants to kill superman because he can't handle being in a world where one man is so powerful, why create another God? Then going by what happened in the movie, lex would have been killed instantly if it wasn't for superman blocking the punch.Sorry but could you explain how creating doomsday follows the logic of lex Luthor you just mentioned?
Isn't creating an uncontrollable beast the exact opposite of taking control?
Not sure if Lex ever thought Doomsday was going to be uncontrollable, actually. Especually since he was, as he said, "blood of (his) blood". And since he knew the secrets of kryptonite, he probably figured he could alwa6s use that to drop Doomsday if he wasn't under his control.
I'm not saying he didn't have a plan at all, I'm saying the movie made no effort to show that he had a well thought out plan and strongly suggested that without superman being there doomsday would have killed lex and went on to destroy the world.
So you can come up with what basically amounts to fan fiction on what lex was trying to do but seeing that there is nothing in the actual movie to suggest that he had things undercontrol, can you really consider this a well written story?
