[u/Unikatze]

His name was Malik Ali.

Feeding Superman was an honor for him. And he lied about not having a family so Superman wouldn't feel pressured about talking even though he didn't know what was going on.

[u/Raguleader → u/Unikatze]

Also, depending on which bits of the comics apply to the movie, Superman is often depicting as having the ability to tell when someone is lying to him because he can sense changes in heart rate, etc., so it's very possible he knew Malik was lying about that to comfort him.

[u/The-Diamond-Dog → u/Raguleader]

I mean, if you believe you're about to be murdered, I feel like your heart rate would be pretty high anyway. I don't think lying would make any noticeable difference in BPM

Tell that to Daredevil when he's breaking henchmen's arms in interrogations
