They actually give you the perfect reason why Superman would fight Batman - Luthor had his mother as a hostage and Superman says to Lois that he either will come back with help or with Batman's head.

And you're confusing the airship in the Artic - the one that had the codex. This one is Zodd's but that doesn't mean that it's the same robot as the one in the Artic.

Also, Luthor clearly didn't expect Doomsday to be so out of control with the "blood of my blood" line but, more so, I think all he wanted was to take down Superman.

You are right in that I consfused the two ships. However I stand by criticism of Superman's motivation. Lex didn't kidnap Superman's mom until just before the film's Climax. Also thinking about this some more, Lex knew both Batman and Superman's secret identities. So his method for taking out Superman takes even less since. He could have went after Clark Kent with small bit of kryptonite he had. He already had a series of mercanies in his employ. 

Lex wanted to prove to the world that Superman is not a God. He has an ego to take care of. lol!

Besides this is how Lex has always been in the comics or animated series.
