Half and half, he found out about Clark through the ship's AI. It taught him everything about Krypton, Zod, etc. that's how he found out about Doomsday. I'm assuming he found out about Bruce through R&D spending and has been keep tabs on Wayne Industries' moves for a while, so he put two and two together.
Ok the scout ship revealing Clarks Id ok but the Bruce thing naw not buyin it, he guards his shyt too well and has 20 years of expirience plus he's like a decade older than lex :camby:

Lex is smarter than Bruce breh. He's on the level of Brainiac and has even outsmarted him.

Breh look it up. Lex is the smartest human being in the DC universe

The five markers set down by DC in the previous continuities of the DC Universe were:
  • Highest level of genius intellect currently defined is a 12th level intellect.
    • this has been displayed as the ability to consciously have 12 simultaneous thought processes at a genius level of intellect being performed concurrently. Intellectual capacity at that level is capable of developing sciences and concepts beyond the comprehensions of even other known geniuses and associated with the potential to master an unlimited number of disciplines. Such intellects are capable of memorizing entire libraries of information, multitasking and building entire mental simulations with the speed and accuracy of supercomputers. It has been hinted, however, that intellects at a level greater than ten are inherently unstable and prone to erratic behavior.
    • Brainiac 5 of the Legion of Superheroes, and the original planetary computing machine Brainiac are considered to be at this level.
  • The entire 31st century Earth's population is considered to be at a 9th level of intellect.
  • The scientist Jor-El of Krypton was individually considered at the 8th level of intellect.
  • The average citizen of Colu is individually considered to be at the 8th level of intellect.
  • The entire 21st century Earth's population is considered to be at a 6th level of intellect.
  • One last marker: Lex Luthor has been estimated of being a 8-9th level intellect and the smartest human on the DC Earth.

Another example

In the DC Adventures Heroe's Handbook there are stats for Superman and Braniac. The stats in the books are for the 'iconic' versions of the characters, essentially the core character. They include notes for modifications for different versions (such as Aquaman with the harpoon hand, or when he heavily used magic).

In that book, Braniac is given an Intellect score (replaces the D20 'Intelligence' score) of 12.

Superman's Intellect is given as a 2. (His strength, on the other hand, is 19)

For comparison, Batman has an 8 Intellect, and Lex Luthor has an 11.

An average human, in DCA, has a 0 Intellect. Superman is about 10% smarter than an average human (your score is added to a D20 roll for checks related to that ability, so Superman will succeed roughly 10% more often than an average person). Batman is 40% more likely to pass an Intellect check than an average person, and Lex Luthor is 55% more likely. Braniac just beats him by being 60% more likely to pass that same check.

From the JLU series

The Source Wall appears in the final episode of Justice League Unlimited, "Destroyer". Metron takes Lex Luthor there to find the Anti-Life Equation. Metron himself is unwilling or unable to take him any further, and warns Luthor that only a "twelfth-level intellect" has a slightest hope of surviving such an experience. Luthor dryly states that he is overqualified then leaps into the wall. He is seemingly correct, as shortly after, he appears again on Earth in possession of the Anti-Life Equation.

Too many examples show that Lex is smarter than Bruce breh

You don't know what your talking about breh.

Saying that lex and Bruce are on the same level is like saying Tony Stark is just as smart as Reeds and Dr doom.

Yep.......and there's different kinds of intelligence. Lex and Mr. Terrific are the smartest humans.....followed by some of the scientist like Magnus and T.O. Morrow. No doubt Batman could be up there but he lends his intelligence more into detective work and logical thinking. He can create machines and devices, but not on the same level as a Lex or Mr. Terrific.
