Lex is supposed to be clever, cunning, and always a few steps ahead but ultimately let down by his focus on his mild bigotry against Kryptonians.
Superman is supposed to be good, righteous, and stoic, always holding back because he has the willpower to do so.
They're not man-children shouting in each other's faces.
