Lex Luthor Can Be Convaded to Think of Superman as Dead
Agreeing to a discussion before the whole planet, Superman and Lex Luthor decide that the loser will be immediately impaled by Kryptonite spikes. Luther listens to Superman's words honestly since he believes he will succeed without any doubt. One thing Luther does not count on is his being moved by what Superman says. Lex is inspired by Superman's case for a better society, thus it is tragic when humanity sides with her and Superman is quickly slain by the Kryptonite spikes. Lex then spends his life seeking to bring another Superman on Earth.
Lex can see from dying for his convictions that Superman really does stand behind all he does.

Superman and Lex Eventually Just Chattered to Each Other
Though Lex has always believed that Superman is a threat to mankind, her perspective on multiple times alters once his death. Whether it is Superman dying to save the planet or being killed by the world he was attempting to save, it's a steep price to pay for convincing Lex that Superman is right. Sadly, it seems to be the only tactic that works. Either choice brings Lex to see Superman for the man he is instead of merely some alien interfering with human progress. Sadly, Superman will have to find another means of contacting Lex Luthor since this price is just too costly.

The Argument Designed to Kill Superman
