Dragon-Lex looked at the enemies around him and decided that, unlike the Dark Knight, they did not deserve his ire. They were simply monsters, doing monster things. The Dark Knight, on the other hand, had been an incessant irritation, what with his loud bragging and pompous attitude.
Although he was in a different form, Dragon-Lex was still Lex, so he was still pissed about the knight making his headache worse. Fortunately, with the advent of his partial dragon form, his headache had also gone away. Of course it had, because he was the best.
Unlike his lotus form, which was supposed to grant him lotus' abilities, his dragon form did not actually grant him any new abilities. They just made the ones he already had much stronger, allowing him to use them as a true dragon would.
Which was to say, in this form, Lex did not need to rely on tenets, or Lawcraft. All powers and abilities would manifest as he willed them to.
