I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

I never read much of the Superman comics, so I never had much of a handle on Clark and Lex as characters (vs. icons) until I read Grant Morrison's run on JLA a few years back -- highly recommended, if you haven't seen it, plus he makes an intriguing case for Batman as Lex's true superhero counterpart (though not his true love, of course!).
