This is 100% a Lex Luthor centric story with the JL only appearing on one page (mainly to recap what happened to N52 Superman, Diana almost mentions Superdad, but Batman cuts her off), so I felt discussion of it should go here since it's relevant to the story in Action Comics and there are some interesting developments
For example, we learn that the Daily Planet gained permission to display Superman's cape, by the end of the issue Lex buys out the Planet so he can have access to it. Lex's sister Lena is comatose and not even Lex's mother box can revive her, and his motivations to be a hero she can be proud of are made more clearer.
Luthor also believes N52 Superman will be reflected more fondly of in death rather than life, and saves a woman's life (although she is terrified by Lex after he takes down the mugger)
Perry also has done a 180 since he turned on Clark in "Truth", reflecting on Clark more as a son.
It's a really good issue, giving Lex clear reasons to act the way he does going forward
