Themes for Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and Alexander (Lex) Luthor

NOTE: These are not all-inclusive lists. These recommendations are for stories I have enjoyed and that stand out to me in storyline, turn of phrase, impact, and/or emotional satisfaction. Some stories may appear on more than one list. I will add to the lists when I have time. Although I welcome suggestions here, please don't be offended if I choose not to include them. Ultimately, they're my recommendations.
