I can understand him behaving that way with superman directly. But there was shrapnel flying off those drones.
I think it makes more sense in the context of the scene. By that point, you get a sense for just who makes up his ranks.
He had super-powered, unwavering henchmen doing the dirty work for him. As an audience member aware of what they were capable of (and Lex's safety being their priority), I also didn't feel Lex was in any real danger, communicated by his unflinching progress into the room.
