I see your assessment and raise you with Lois Lane. In the beginning she was a means to keep the operation from being uncovered with some rather good dialogue, including my personal favorite from Luthor "I'm a 12th level intellect, a pair of glasses does not fool me. I go along with his little "deception" because I want to defeat Superman. Clark Kent is of no consequence."
Then her writing kinda falls flat a bit. We got the nice leash scene at the Daily Planet, but when you really look at it she's not the investigative reporter vs. the evil mastermind. More like "If I do what he says I won't be put in the Glamor Slam" or "Luthorjust commands her". For a 12th level intellect, you'd think his plan would be more elaborate.
Side note: The Glamor Slam threat isn't really a threat when you think about it. Either she's a blank slate and will do whatever you say in front of others, or you give her some memory of her actions but only while she's in your base. To threaten her with the Glamor Slam or Bordello means little since you'll just be downgrading her device and she won't remember it. The way the plot is at the moment you could send her to the Slam, put her in the cell, then send her back to the Slam for a week, put her back in the cell, and she won't even know.
Just once I'd like to see a heroine that stands up and say do it, then see Luthor's reaction.
Yeah, ever since he started churning out the cell content the dialogue suffered. Its really good art, but right now the game is just a slideshow. and while there is good dialogue to be found, you can only hear it once since the game does not have save slots.
With this art and maybe a good team behind it the game could work it self up to be like SeedsofChaos. Good art, multiple branching paths...I mean it could be fun if you needed to work to keep the operation in the dark.
For example: while capturing Black Canary would not be that dangerous (like it was in the JL episode), it would be more dangerous to capture Batgirl since she works at night, sometimes next to Batman himself! Can't strip in the GS if she's supposed to be out hunting the Joker or Penguin.
The game could first play out just like the JL episode (only with stripping instead of fighting) and when Huntress discovers it the next level of the game would start. Higher stakes and harder to keep it under wraps.
Also, Lex should really make the decision to want sex from the heroines. After al, keeping them in the cell makes no money. He could decide to have sex with Supergirl just to spite Superman, not just because he has an itch.
