[DC] What does Lex Luthor think of Bruce Wayne?

Its said in multiple continuities that Wayne Enterprises is a major competitor of Lexcorp, however Bruce's playboy persona would keep most people from giving him any credit.

Does Lex fall for the act like most other people or does he know or suspect Bruce is highly intelligent?

In one comic, Lex while monologuing to himself says he likes Bruce.

And part of the reason why is because he can tell Bruce doesn't want to be friends and goes out of his way to seem annoying which *makes* Lex want to be friends with him.

Also, he goes almost full page wondering if he could fill whatever hole Bruce has in his life. So yeah...
