I was impressed by the characterizations, especially Lois Lane and Clark Kent/Superman, but did Lex ever consider the possibility that trying to kill Superman might increase the risk of Superman becoming inimical to the human race?
I'm pretty sure that comes up somewhere in it. The obvious response is that Superman is likely going to go bad at any time (either from mental illness, disgust with humanity, long-laid alien plans, or unexpected development of his power) so you're not so much changing the risk as changing the timing, and that avoiding research into killing Superman also means you are indefinitely exposed to anyone like Superman.
And of course, Lex does do his best to keep the work a secret from Superman to the extent humanly possible, and doesn't actually try to kill Superman until the last moment when Superman forces his hand.
