For all of the dramatic moments in the film, there are quite a few which... [[{{Narm}} aren't very dramatic]].

----
* [[spoiler: After Lex blows up the Capitol with Superman in it, the camera zooms in on Superman's face in what is clearly meant to be him showing sadness over what happened. Instead Henry Cavill [[DullSurprise makes Superman look mildly bothered]].]]
** It can also bring a [[https://media.giphy.com/media/12SBwtRR9BnWg/giphy.gif certain image]] to mind...
* The scene of Lex Luthor slipping a Jolly Rancher into Senator Finch's subordinate. It's pretty jarring MoodWhiplash from an otherwise serious scene and important plot point of [[spoiler:Luthor trying to access Zod's body]]. Even if the scene is intended to be funny, its sheer randomness makes it more bizarre than anything.
* That drop of snot on Luthor's upper lip that is present in his final scene.
* As insightful as one could say the Martha scene is, Batman's [[SuddenlyShouting reaction]] is so over-the-top that it comes off more like he's surprised that [[spoiler:there exists another person in the world with his mother's name]]. In addition, any pathos the scene might have had is dispelled by the fact that Superman [[spoiler:says "Save Martha" instead of simply saying "Save my mother"]], which comes off as a ''very'' [[ContrivedCoincidence convenient]] reason for Superman and Batman to team up.
* Lex Luthor explaining the premise of the movie very awkwardly in a line which was seemingly forced in for the purpose of using in the trailers.
* Batman, your threats carry a lot less weight when they come out after Superman just backhanded your Batmobile away effortlessly. [[spoiler: Though knowing that Batman was chasing a truck carrying kryptonite may alleviate it for some fans.]]
* The more elaborate dream sequences are so bizarre and out of place with the serious tone of the movie that it can be very jarring. One scene even ends with Bruce bolting out of bed, which has been proven to be physically impossible when dreaming.
* Batman's first appearance in costume looks less chilling and more like he's awkwardly hiding in the corner because there was nothing in the room for him to duck behind, considering he had plenty of time to just leave.
* The "Believe me, I'll do it" line made a lot more sense from its original source (a teenage gang member), but when coming from the mouth of a hardened international criminal, and the counterpart of a supervision that has actually beaten Batman in the past, it makes him seem like an overly insecure idiot, and so it just comes off as ridiculous. Bruce's making a mocking PreMortemOneLiner ("I believe you") may just push the moment into NarmCharm, though.
* The fight during the Knightmare sequence could have been badass, but Batman looks so hilariously stiff and stilted thanks to the trench coat and cargo pants. More than one fan has admitted to pretending that he has [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons a sandwich in his hand]] the whole time with how stiff his fighting looks.
* [[spoiler:During the climactic fight against Doomsday, Wonder Woman gets knocked over with her legs in spread eagle, and the camera lingers just a bit too long.]]

* Batman's first appearance, where he is awkwardly hiding in plain sight, hanging onto the ceiling at the corner of a room. Somehow, the cop didn't see him nor did the criminal acknowledge what had to be a big MoodWhiplash from when Batman was branding him.
