* Some people have criticised the younger, more joking interpretation of Lex Luthor in this film compared to more recent comic adaptations. However, viewed from the right perspective, it makes sense; this young Lex has achieved the same level of corporate influence most Luthors achieve when they're older, which he pulled off by being smart enough to make the necessary business and technological connections, but that youthful success means that he's never really mastered the maturity to go with that brilliance, hence him making such relatively impulsive plans as [[spoiler:creating a forbidden super-being using alien technology with no clear sign that he even had a plan to stop it after it killed Superman]].

Superman; Lex is so used to succeeding in his goals that he just thinks "How can I achieve X?" and doesn't fully consider what he'll do ''after'' he's done that because he thinks he can work it out later.

** There's actually a deeper part to this, in this universe Thomas Wayne's last words are a cry to his wife, trying to save Martha Wayne, Clark's last words were him crying out to save Martha, this forces Bruce's Memories of that night, but now ''he is'' the killer, this is what forces him to his MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, leading to his HeelFaceTurn.

* Part of why Wonder Woman shares so much of the grief for Superman's death is not just because of her well-known empathy and compassion, but also because she shared a role in bringing it about with Batman. She dismembered Doomsday's hand, causing it to sprout bone claws as a compensation, which he later used to impale Superman.

* There is actually an explanation for the infamous "Martha" twist. At the very beginning of the "gladiator fight", Clark calls Batman "Bruce" to establish that he knows Batman is Bruce Wayne. That means that Clark is aware of his backstory, which means he's aware of ''[[StartOfDarkness Martha Wayne's death]]''. Clark wasn't just throwing out his mother's name in the hope that Batman would realize [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he was making a mistake]], he purposely called her by name because he knew [[CommonalityConnection their mothers had the same name]].

** It also makes sense on a purely physical level. This Superman is established as a very capable brawler, which in tandem with his superpowers, ordinarily makes him an almost insurmountable opponent. But when he's brought down to the level of a man's strength? A brawler isn't going to perform well against The Batman who is only ''a master combatant in over a dozen martial arts and fighting disciplines''.

* A lot of people misinterpret Bruce doing a heavy workout regime to mean it's to train to have the strength to take on Superman (and even lift and throw him). That's not so, because according to the universe's wiki, the suit itself augments his strength by ''28 times''. No, the workout is for him to be strong and agile enough to actually use the powered armour, which itself is heavy and tiring as all hell.

First, he manages to kill several of Luthor's thugs to get to his chunk of Kryptonite, then he kills even more [[spoiler:trying to rescue Martha. Given that the Superman in his Knightmare was bitter over the loss of a loved one, part of the reason he rescued her was to earn his trust and further discourage him from turning into a dictator]].

* As stated in VoodooShark, Wallace Keefe's wheelchair containing a bomb encased in lead should have made it suspiciously heavy. He got it from Lex Luthor, whose company specialises in metals. Presumably he designed the wheelchair itself and possibly the bomb inside it to be much lighter than normal to offset the weight of the lead casing.

** And what about his mother? No one ever mentions her, ever alludes to her in anyway, and outside of the fact that he exists, there is absolutely no evidence she ever did (if that even counts as evidence in the DC universe, where cloning is a completely valid possibility). In a film where a significant aspect of the plot has to do with the [[spoiler: a connection between the hero's mothers]], it seems odd that no one ever brings up the villain's.
