* Some of Superman's scenes are ruined due to the obvious attempts to digitally hide Creator/HenryCavill's mustache, leading to a lot of UnintentionalUncannyValley. It's especially obvious in the opening scene with the kids using the cellphone camera, and then his bizarre close-up post-resurrection moment with Lois where he looks like a victim of Joker's happy-gas. Rather than have Henry Cavill shave for the movie (in fairness, he was ''legally bound'' not to, as it would have been a breach of contract for ''Film/MissionImpossibleFallout'') or perhaps give him a beard, his lower face was digitally altered to be clean shaven. SpecialEffectFailure aside, this gave him the rather uncanny resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents the Crimson Chin]]. Making it even more hilarious is that it turned out to be completely unnecessary, as production on ''Fallout'' was delayed due to Creator/TomCruise breaking his ankle, and Cavill easily could have grown the mustache back in that time.

* Diana saying "Kal El no" thanks to Creator/GalGadot's strange delivery, which almost slurs the words together and is so flat that it sounds like she's mildly scolding a dog.

* The MacGuffin of the film is the Mother Box, which led to the inevitable nickname of "Martha Box", both because of the prominence in the plot, the way Steppenwolf keeps [[CompanionCube talking to the Box as "Mother"]] and gives grand speeches about "the Mother of Horrors" just to remind us what he's talking about, and the way it just develops NewPowersAsThePlotDemands (Teleportation, Terraforming, [[spoiler:resurrecting dead heroes]]). Admittedly this is sort-of faithful to the comics source, except Creator/JackKirby never made it such a prominent over-riding part of his mythos. The true MacGuffin of the New Gods is the Anti-Life Equation. Plus, "Mother Box" is another of those old-school comic book terms from [[UsefulNotes/TheBronzeAgeOfComicBooks the Bronze Age]] which is impossible to take seriously nowadays when you hear it spoken out loud.

* The Granny's Peach Tea scene. How does the Senator respond to the reveal that Luthor had left her a glass of urine? ''By behaving like someone was pointing a gun at her from behind that very instant.'' The absurdity of the scene and hilariously convenient timing far outweighed the dramatic reveal and the fact that Luthor is now operating overtly. The fact that Lex was willing to stoop to this level makes him seem less like a threatening evil genius and more like the class clown at school who does unfunny pranks.

* The Jesus symbolism of Superman is already [[{{Anvilicious}} groan-worthy]], but it becomes hilarious towards the end when it's awkwardly shoehorned right before the climactic battle when the surviving ''Daily Planet'' reporters crawl from the rubble, and in a tearfully grateful and reverent voice, whimper "He saved us"... which quickly turns to unintentional comedy when the camera pans back to show the grey, lifeless, ash covered apocalyptic wasteland of crumbling-ruins that is left of Metropolis after Kal-El failed to stop a city block–sized spaceship from crashing into it like a bull through a china-shop.
** Superman’s [[CrucifiedHeroShot Jesus pose]] as he casually floats out of the hole in Zod’s ship before going after the World Engine is hilariously forced, arguably topping earlier scenes like in the church where he is literally framed with Jesus in a stained-glass window, and doing the same pose while unconscious in the ocean.

* Steve referring to the Germans in the alley, as the "bad guy convention". If he had used the term, "masquerade", it would have been more historically accurate. Cosplay or conventions were not a thing until the 1970s.
* Throughout the film, everyone speaks English, whether they are from Ancient Greece or from Germany. This would be fine, if not for the fact that Diana and Sameer both engage in multiple languages, only for both to simply converse with the Germans in English, Steve himself with JustAStupidAccent.

* In the aftermath of Ares' defeat, the Germans all collectively lower the weapons and take off their masks. Some of them even hug Diana's allies. The very next scene takes place after the war is over. This goes against the very message that the film was showing earlier; that killing one man would not stop the war. While the script tries to justify this, by stating that Ares was enchanting the soldiers in his presence, that in itself contrasts with his statement that he does not make humans do bad things, and they do them on their own. In the end, the film opts for an ending that, while pleasant, clashes heavily with the tone.

* Black Mask comes off less like an intimidating criminal and more like a whining schoolyard bully. At one point, he yells a woman to strip because she was laughing, not even at him, and instead of it being terrifying, it comes as as pathetic.

* The decision to keep Joker out of the film, except in flashbacks is really awkward. When he first shows up in the animated format, he appears in his classical uniform from the comics, instead of the one from the Suicide Squad film. Then he appears in a brief second scene but in his film outfit, making it painfully obvious how much they were trying to make the audience forget about Jared Leto's performance.
