It is such a dumb idea though, what does the notion of empathy mean to a predatory animal? Not eating the easy hadrosaur prey at that moment just means it'll need to find those calories from another animal, probably at greater risk to himself.
I'm confused... it sounds more like you're just attacking the idea of empathy in general. Like why would I give money to a poor person when that means I don't get to have the money?

Granny’s peach tea.
Never actually understood the weird reaction to this. It's Lex being both sinister and ridiculous while telling a politician, basically, "you're hosed." Is it just because they talked about pee and that's icky?

 It doesn't actually have to be pee for his statement to work. It's a joke that's consistent with Lex being creepy and invasive (putting the jolly rancher in the politician's mouth), but otherwise is not that mind-blowing. Like, supervillains killing people is also weird, because they're crazy, but that doesn't make it a WTF moment in a movie.

You know I’m referring to the bit where there’s an actual jar of piss on Holly Hunter’s desk before she blows up, and not just the line from earlier that the scene is referencing?
I'm saying, the contents of that jar do not have to actually be pee for his statement to work perfectly well. Within the context, it is a joke made by Lex. He's making a "silly" creepy joke while also executing a plan to murder hundreds of people, it gives great definition to his character.

 Batman can actually teleport and just pretends he has no super powers. That's how he disappears when people look the other way while talking to him.
