In this minute of Batman v Superman, Lex gives Lois Lane a surprise trip to LexCorp Tower (and doesnt bother asking for permission). What the hell was that all about I am really confused. The thing looked up, roars, and dissipates into thin air. So Lex has lived with the goal of attaining power, knowing full-well that he isnt 'innocent.
