Workaround:

Talk to Superman and open the map in the cutscene and select "Warp Rally". Then re-enter the boss room and talk to Superman again. This will spawn another Lex. Defeat one of them and talk to Superman.
That doesn't work. I've tried it already. Like was said above, instead of Lex's dialogue opening, it seems to re-open superman's. Respectfully.

The order and timing are important, to ensure that a second Lex Luthor actually spawns and the first one doesn't disappear. This could also vary depending on the platform.

I can use the warp to rally point to reset Superman's dialogue, but no matter how many times I do that or when in the dialogue I teleport out I can never get two Luthor's/anything to change.

I can confirm this method works although you will fight 2 Lex Luthors. It didnt work the first time. I can also confirm this bug does not happen when your evil and fighting superman. At least it didnt for me.
Here is what I did to get this to work.
1. Talk to Superman
2. While he is talking Press M(Map), select Warp Menu, Rally Point.
3. Warped me out of room before Lex spawned. Didnt work
4. Talk to Superman again, rally point on timer. Waited for timer but I could not get it to work.
5. Exit instance.
6. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
7. Lex spawned and THEN it warped me.
8. Fight 2 Lex Luthors.
9. Quest complete.

im on pc, i tried the instructions around 8 times now, closest i get to recreating is i briefly see a second superman, but as soon as i talk to him...same error, a lex spawns, but has no nameplate and not target able and supes just stays stuck in the animation.

STAR Labs Facility solo bugged and doesn't start the final battle with Lex after talking to Superman. I thought it might have been a once in a while bug but after multiple runs this same bug has been consistent.

I linked a video of where the bug happens at the bottom.

Isn't there also a Challenge (solo) that also counts for this? Maybe that could be another workaround.
there is, but not for new characters, it is under the 60 solo challenge list. so if you are 22, or the level it says you are 15, there is not, and since you need the mission to continue, that isn't an option, unless im missing something (i really hope im wrong)...

About 7 mins since this post was made...i tested it, yeah, you can't do the mission from the solo challenge, its rank 60 to unlock, my superman mentor alt is...22

then both versions of that mission are bugged..the solo mission Exobyte Entrenchment (level 15, Superman Mentor mission) bugs in the exact same place.

That is exactly what we want to achieve. Superman and Lex Luthor must be visible in order to spawn a second Lex when we speak to Superman again after the warp. Unfortunately, "Warp Rally" has a very long cooldown if it doesn't work on the first try. One option here is to connect with other players and form a group where everyone attempts the workaround. Theoretically, this would allow eight players to complete the mission simultaneously in a single attempt.

For those of whom the workaround worked: perhaps you could team up to help others get through the mission until a fix is available. Ensure you’re on the same Platform (PS/PC, Xbox etc.)

sorry, i was describing it wrong, i see a second superman, but he disappears before i get to him again, but i have never been able to get lex to stay, he despawns as soon as a warp to the rally.

Okay, are you on US or EU Server? And would you have time to group up? I could go through it with you/prepare a instance😌

Yes. I'm wondering if it is being caused by the skip cut scene feature even though you can't skip it in this one however before the skip cut scene button was added to the game this has never been a problem when running this Solo.
