Nicely put. It also provided a great character arc for Bruce - him realizing that Clark is much more human than him and accepting him as an ally while working on his own issues. I really liked how that was handled in JL.

Honestly they did it too soon, taking the animated movies as an example, we had 2 justice league movies and Superman also appeared on other movies, so when he died we had somewhat a greater connection with him(thats not the case for me because man of steel have a certain sentimental value , but for other people I wouldn't say the same). They also did doomsday too soon, the vilain could have been Lex on some kind of armor he made to be godlike and you could use the fight between batman and superman as a reason for they being beaten by Lex, a Superman weakened from kryptonite, and a batman who maybe got some broken bones and 1 or 2 gunshot wounds wich would be a reason for Wonder woman to join the fight, anything other than doomsday

Movie's are not tv episodes and probably shouldn't be treated as such because thats a very risky as fuck move and expensive as balls. look at the failed monsters universe, Ghost busters, and Sony's amazing spider verse. at least Snyder got all the way to justice league despite that being a Frankenstein of a movie. If his daughter didn't commit suicide (God rest her soul) he probably would have stayed and fought back harder against those WB execs.

Totally agree with you. Another scene was when Bruce Wayne unlocks the photo of wonder woman from world war2. As he looks at that picture, there is no dialogue in the scene, but he leans back in his chair (with WW bgm playing in the background) and you can see it on Afflecks face. In that scene you can see Bruce's whole perception of reality or the world he lives in is changing, he was just coming to terms with supes(alien) inhabiting our world and then he sees the wonder woman pic.

Hi friends, I’m seeing that one of the biggest issues in the comments is that Clark said “Martha” not “Mom.” I glossed over that because I thought it was self-explanatory. Bruce had just talked about Superman’s alien parents…So “save my mom” wouldn’t have accomplished anything. Also, he genuinely hoped Bruce would save his mother after he killed him….So he’d need a name. And if you watch the scene (I cut right before it, unfortunately) it sounds like he’s trying to say, "Kent" as Batman pushes down on his throat. It seemed so clear I didn’t realize people took issue with it.

[@veraseb]

I've loved other explanation of Martha scene from one guy, there is his comment: If you connect the dots in the nightmare scene where superman says, "she was my world" at that time, I believe it to be referring to Martha Kent not Lois Lane. Notice his reaction to when lex divulges the information of his mother being held hostage and he just about to lose it. So therefore, if you connect the dots of batman saving Martha Kent, batman believes that the nightmare scenario would no longer be a possibility and that 1% chance is no longer on the horizon. Also note, Lois being the key (what flash says in the other dream sequence) Lois was the key to finding out that Martha was the name of superman's mother. Without her interviening in that scene, superman would be as good as dead. Once batman found out, did you not notice the emotional change? So he found out new information and his mindset went from murder to saving instead.

[@johnpaulmokuolu2633]

How any Batman fan can say the Martha scene is dumb blows my mind. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of the character. What I would say is true rather is that the fight itself was anti-climatic.The fight needed to be longer and have more back and forth. Another 10 mins IMO, with Batman really struggling. Having said that the fact is from the very beginning of the film it is established again that Batman fall into darkness came from that moment. He's driven by the murder of his parents, his whole life has become a distraction, vengeance to get back at those who robbed him of his childhood, Batman would do anything to have that childhood, to have his parents back. I.e. the fact superman's mum is Martha, Batman feels that by saving her in some ways he can finally do what he always wanted, save his mother from tragedy. The thing that pissed me off more in that scene and that really should have been executed better is, why on Earth would Superman suddenly start calling his Mother Martha? The way I would have cleaned that up is Clark investigating Bruce before the fight and actually finding out about his parents tragic death. That way it would have made sense that Clark actually purposely uses that information to get into Batman's psyche and end the fight peacefully. It would have given superman the depth and intelligence that he's been missing from this series and also it would have been a great way to show off Clark's skills as a journalist. It also would fit in great with Superman's character that he found a way to get to Bruce without hurting him. Essentially it would have in some ways made the fight a draw, which would have been a far more satisfying ending. Batman would have been shown to be able to take down Superman in a fight which would have satisfied the Batman fanboys, and superman would have been shown to be smart enough to end the conflict peacefully which would have satisfied Superman fans.

No thanx, cinema sins did this better!

[@CinemaWins]

I'm sure this won't stop this comment from constantly coming up, but the reason Superman says "Martha" and not "Mom" is because he wasn't currently being Clark Kent. He was Superman. As unbelievable as it may be for Bruce to not know Superman's secret identity, he didn't at that point. So he was still protecting his secret identity. I thought that was obvious. That's why I didn't mention it. And if I had to defend the reasoning behind Bruce not knowing Superman was Clark, why would he assume he'd need an alter ego? He sees him as an evil god alien, why would he ever pretend to be human?

[@infatuationcorner8282]

That's exactly what I say at first. Batman never knew that Clark Kent was Superman, for Bruce Clark was just another silly reporter taking side with Supes(Although I was kinda expecting to see this comment on the video) But you know, hate train and stuff.

[@zhengyingli]

+CinemaWins What do you think of the interpretation that due to Batman applying more pressure on Superman's throat the moment he said Martha, Superman was prevented from saying the rest of her name, and instead made a guttural sound? It's kind of out there, but interesting nonetheless.

[@hectorgrimal9770]

CinemaWins I want to add something extra. The idea of the scene is not as wrong or as far fetched as most people think. This is a fiction world with rules of awesomeness all around, so an scene like that is perfect. The problem is the presentation. I'd just rewatch this movie yesterday, (because of this channel BTW) and the problem of the scene is the juxtaposition. The scenes that accompany the main scene are just the previous scenes from the same movie, as if someone wasn't sure the idea was clear. (I think people are not going to remember Martha is the name of Bruce's mom, let's repeat those scenes JUST IN CASE). If those scenes are replaced with scenes from the memories of a child Bruce with his mom, and maybe Clark with his mom, it would have driven the idea home. But they way is presented you feel like they are force feeding you something.

[@sh00taboy]

Save his secret identity by revealing his mom's name and ask Batman to go save her? Wouldn't Batman then know who Superman is simply by looking up who Martha Kent's son is?

[@samhawkes7658]

This is one of the things I love about this movie: it's attention to detail. Because of that you're able to rewatch this movie and discover something you didn't need know before. This also allows for lots of deep thinking

[@adamoneal2632]

Also for the Martha scene, "Martha" was his dad's last word

[@adamoneal2632]

Along with his mothers name of course, as you said

[@yarpen26]

Which pretty much throws the entire "OMG he was just saying Martha so as to make Batman know his mother was human and the fact that their mothers both had the same name was just a coincidence with no real bearing on Batman's ultimate decision to spare Superman" argument out the window.

[@blacktee31]

I think everyone gets that. I respect the effort as a call back, but not the execution. That's not the argument. The argument it doesn't make any sense for Superman while he's about to die to say "You're letting him kill Martha" and not "My mother" What would make him think he'd care about a random woman from an entirely different city named "Martha" when he's pretty much about to be murdered in cold blood because Bruce came off the entire movie as a sociopathic douche? Please excuse me, I came here to compliment the movie, but that needs to be done with realistic respect for its flaws as well as it's strengths. If he said "My mother, Martha." It would serve both, not only Bruce being pulled into the realization that Clark is "human" with a famliy and all, but that the two of them aren't so different. Having him blurt it out that way came off as forced to many viewers that's all. I still commend the *effort* though, just not the execution. I apologize if I come off disrespectful I didn't come here like I know some people do to hate and throw salt at a potentially good or even great film. Fun Fact: Martha is my own great grandmother's name.

[@rafaelaguirre8091]

I have thought about it myself and came up with a possibility a while back. We have to remember that while Batman did not know of Superman's secret identity, Superman did know of Batman's by the time of their fight and must have already become familiar with his background. Earlier in their fight, Batman did recognize that Superman must have had parents ( remember when he told Superman 'I bet your parents taught you that you mean something, that you're here for a reason') but he probably just thought of them as alien too or that he probably didn't thought of them as highly as Batman valued his own family; so Superman just mentioning his mother by 'mother' would not have done nothing to break Batman out of his kill rage. By using Batman's mother's own name, however, Clark knew that it would force Bruce to listen to him even for a minute, which sort of worked as it planted doubt in Bruce just long enough for Lois to come in and clarify who the Martha Clark was referring to was. I think that Clark saying Martha WAS the best way to get Batman to listen to him as , by that moment, Batman was to focused in killing Superman to listen to reason. He was fully driven by emotion, so the only way to break him out of it was bringing another emotion to the table. And what better emotion than his own family? Of course, Superman had no way of knowing that 'Martha' was also the last word uttered by Thomas Wayne and had the unexpected consequence of enraging Batman further but this also played out in Batman's own change of heart ultimately. Batman earlier acknowledged that Superman was not a direct threat to the world to Alfred, but carried on because of the 'even 1% chance' he would be. By uttering 'Martha' right before being killed, Superman became Thomas Wayne in Bruce's mind: a man who had done no real evil and whose life was extinguished by a criminal. Batman called himself a criminal earlier and realized that he had become the 'man with the gun' and could no longer justify himself in what he was doing, specially when, throughout the movie, it was obvious that the main reason he wanted to kill superman was to make his life as Batman (born out of the death of his parents) mean something. That was a lengthy explanation lol but I think that was what the scene was trying to convey. This is how it all clicked in my head anyways.

What you are not taking into account is most people will have very limited exposure to DC outside the movies, how are people meant to know who the hell Steppenwolfe and Darkseid are? The whole dream/Flash sequence is not explained at all. Flash does not even exist in the DCEU at this point in the movie and the only sequence in which Flash appears later is him in a different set of clothing. Even with a vague knowledge of DC I still did not know that Flash could travel through time. Those demon things are also very confusing for a lot of people simply because they appear in what is a very weird dream sequence. How is the general public meant to know what Darkseid symbol is or what a Parademon is? This would of course not have been an issue if it was a movie aimed at the niche market of just DC fans but when you aim for the general pubic you need to put some sort of explanation in, else you just end up with an audience and critics which is totally confused and will give bad reviews and spread bad word of mouth.

[@SarajevoKyoto]

The problem is that Snyder's vision resulted in a Man of Steel movie that turned off a lot of people, and then his vision in this movie just polarized things more. He's not a mass-appeal director. Honestly he's not a director at all, he's a cinematographer. If the studio had marketed this DCEU thing as more of a niche universe styled after Injustice, it could have worked. Unfortunately they had to try beating Marvel at their own game with movies that didn't abide by that game's rules, thus Marvel wins by default.

Superman was forced to hide his powers until he was an adult, felt alienated during his childhood (he was literally an alien), the only survivor of a dead species, the moment he decides to come out the world's facing a threat that too from his own kind, and then he's finally forced to kill his only remaining link to his heritage. When he says "my world doesn't exist anymore" it's not just Krypton blowing up or the world hating Superman, he was also sore about having to kill a fellow Kryptonian and destroying the Genesis chamber. Humans don't understand him, and there isn't a single Kryptonian left so he felt he was truly alone and a responsible for destroying Krypton. Also he did that because there was no hope for Kryptonians here, either by conquest or coexistence. See you don't always need spoon-fed expositions about why somebody's so damn hopeless and depressed. All you need is to follow the story a bit carefully and put yourself in the character's shoes.

That said, the film even has multiple scenes with Superman discussing with Lois and his mother about various stuff, so it's not like it's just a huge data dump from Snyder. The issue is that people watch the movie thinking it's the Superman that they've always known him as, when it's really when Superman first getting into the superhero world. When you throw away these preconceptions and just take things at the face value, it's very easy to follow. That's probably why the film did so well overseas compared to the domestic market (pretty much WB's best performing film ever), people who didn't grow up with the characters were watching their first DC movie and thus were able to enjoy it the way Snyder wanted it to be.

[@bromodragone8405]

If you disagree with what I'm about to say, DON'T BOTHER REPLYING. Clark had no idea that Bruce's mom was named Martha. He just said what he could while Batman was standing on his neck with a kryptonite spear. Batman heard "Martha...!" and basically went "What did you just say?" he released a bit of weight to let Clark talk "Save... Martha...!" Bruce, who sees Clark as a dangerous, murderous alien, thinks "No. Martha's dead. Hes trying to trick me. Right?" So he demands to know why Clark said the name. Lois explains that Clark's mother is Martha Kent. Batman then thought "His mother...? This alien has a human mother?" In other words: THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK!!!!! What would you have said if your mom was in danger of dying and there was a guy in a metal suit pressing his boot against your throat with a spear to your face? The actual fight between Batman and Superman seems underwhelming with Batman managing to kick Superman's ass quite easily thanks to Kryptonite, despite the hype of which DC icon would win. But if one were to view the film with Batman as the villain/antagonist of the story, the fight's short and one-sided nature actually makes sense. It's not about who would win in a fight, but rather about just how far Batman has fallen in his vendetta against Superman. His dominance over Superman is not of a heroic underdog fighting back against a god, but rather a cruel bully harming a good man pleading for his aid to save his mother from being killed, going against everything Batman fought for. Batman had already lost the moment he started fighting while Superman ultimately won by making Batman realize what he has done. THIS. IS. NOT. MARVEL. Get you mind out of the MCU and into the DCEU. This is different. If you disagree, don't bother replying.

My parents taught me a different lesson... dying in the gutter for no reason at all. They taught me the world only makes sense if you force it to." Batman would probably just assume he's talking about his alien mother, and proceed to impale him through the face. So how do you get through to the crazed vigilante who's claims to be doing this for the survival of the human race? You appeal to his humanity and make her a person. On the off chance Batman goes through with it and kills Superman, at least Batman would still have a name to go off of and not be all like "Who's Mom?" Plus, there's supposedly a deleted scene not seen in the Ultimate Edition were Clark does some research on Bruce and his parents on his laptop after finding out his identity at Lex's party. In it he learns Bruce's mother was named Martha, and notes the coincidence as his mother has the same name. This may lead into the scene where he calls his mother. Now, anyone running around dressed up as a bat is clearly not all there. It's been well established that Batman is fucked mentally and his parents death fucked him up, so it's possible, using this information, Superman knew Batman's mother's name was Martha and used it to his advantage.

Thank you for explaining the Martha scene, I didn't get it at first.

[@greyknight9638]

A lot of people didn't because of the typical rage that comes from a first glance. I got it the first go around, just as I also got a lot of things that people were complaining about. And ftr, don't take that the wrong way, I get that sometimes we don't get things at first and I'm no exception, but a lot of people take it WAY too far.

[@n.d.m.515]

I understood it like Batman would have, because I didn't realize both their mothers were named Martha. Of course it would throw Batman for a loop. Completely agree that it made him even more angry at first because he thought Supes was messing with him, and then realized his revenge was misguided and out of character for his ideals.

[@greyknight9638]

Exactly. And yeah, I noticed a while back that their mothers had the same name and I've always wondered if DC ever planned on doing something with that lol.

Jason McCloud I might have to re-watch BVS with a different mindset now. It may haven't been that bad. Still a bit bundled up messly but still.

As a non-comic book reader, I see no difference between BvS and the Avengers movies in quality and messy story telling. In fact, the Avengers is so full of meaningless action with a thin plot that I get bored. Why the DC movies are so hated while the comic book level Marvel is not seems to me ridiculous.

[@MasterDoctorBenji]

I remember witnessing the Martha scene and thinking this is cinematic gold, and when people made fun of it I was like sure it sounds goofy but it makes so much sense but people didn't seem to get it. Hopefully more people see this and understand that this movie is insanely good.

I also want to add that Bruce had asked "How many of them have remained the same ?" but when Clark(e) or Superman meets him, inspite of being in such predicament, all he wanted to was talk and explain everything to him. And Batman himself had changed, Superman had not. These movies are very deep.

[@jukeboxjammer2343]

You are probably the only person who accurately describes parts of movies that either confuse people or things people get just wrong. In this case, I'm referring to "Martha" but you also did it with the "plot holes" from A Quiet Place, Thanos snapping half of life away rather than doubling resources, and why Peter lost his powers in Spiderman 2. There are several things in movies that people like MatPat will spend a whole video trying to figure out that you are able to answer in less than 2 minutes. You sir, are VERY good at your job!

[@victorkunchev6438]

My goodness. The Martha-name-saying secene. FINALLY! Someone who actually gets it. It was one of the most powerful scenes in the movie. People don't understand it and don't want to simply because of the fact that it was more spiritual in nature. People don't handle spiritual moments in cinema well. You need to think about it a bit to understand it. You explained it great. I would only add that what happened was that Batman recognized Superman as a brother in spirit, as an ally, because he saw his father's dying wish to protect his mother, an image of the purity and good in the world, embodied in Superman (not to mention that when Superman was about to die himself he could only speak about "saving Martha" which is IDENTICAL to what Batman's dad did!). He realized that, although they are vastly different, they share the same moral values and within that moment Batman went through a rebirth - he reestablished his true identity through Superman. He became heroic once again, because in Superman he saw himself. That is just cinema gold. Why is this movie bad again?

[@ringodeathstarr6070]

Everybody understands the point of this scene. It's still stupid. First of all, how does Batman doesn't know that Clark Kent has human parents? And mother with the name Martha? But still, he mentioned about Clark having a parents while they were fighting, so Batman knew that Clark no some alien-freak? But even more, Bruce knew that Superman is not bad, but he told Alfred about "even 1 % chance" and it's alll gone because Superman has a mom?

[@sandyshores3891]

Ringo Deathstarr Batman doesn't know Clark has human parents because he was constantly being manipulated by Lex into thinking hes a threat, and trying to know about his parents or investigating if he has human parents is not something he would need to investigate, simply because he doesn't care about his life because he thinks of him as a threat and just wants to kill him. Batman assumes Clark Kent has parents, in his imagination, he thought of superman's parents as "aliens" just like him, thinking they would also destroy the world fighting other aliens in the name of peace. That's the reason why he says "1% Chance" to Alfred because he wanted to kill Superman as soon as he gets the chance. And its all gone Not because Superman has a mom, but because hes reminded of his mother through the name "Martha" who just like Superman tried to stop/fight the criminal from shooting her son(Batman) before dying, and therefore Batman also realizes that he has a human mother because human name. Superman knows Batman's mother's name because he investigates his whereabouts and details much earlier in the movie thinking hes a criminal killing prisoners (which was set up by Lex to cause conflict between both). And in the end, Superman uses the name "Martha" to stop him from killing him.

[@ringodeathstarr6070]

So, you're saying that they both were manupulated by Lutor, but Superman did investigation about his enemy and THE GREATEST DETECTIVE didn't? It's bullshit.

[@sandyshores3891]

Ringo Deathstarr Both didn't necessarily need manipulation. Batman was manipulated, by making him witness the capitol explosion and one of his trusted people die in it, making him think superman blew up the building and killed innocent people that wanted to judge him for his acts lawfully, and made him think hes "cruel", whereas superman only needed to know if Batman is a criminal or not to keep an eye on him (which is why he warns Batman at that Batmobile chase scene) and moreover he didn't need to get manipulated because all Lex needed to do was kidnap his mother and force him to face the Kryptonite from Batman's hands (which he didn't know about). Only to show the world that a simple human can kill a God. Moreover, Batman doesn't need to investigate things about an "Alien", he only needs to know what kills Superman (Kryptonite). And Superman does need to investigate, because he thinks Batman is killing prisoners. And Superman's human parents are out of the question, because that's something Batman can never even think of to investigate, which is not really the reason why he changes in the end anyway. It was more about his own mother than Superman's mother.

so what the hell would you do when he starts firing sonic emmitters and 50 cals at you? does that seem like someone that is willing to talk? no. at that point he was fighting for his life once the kryptonite came out.

[@Theinen84]

isthis aname Oh? Clark Kent would've reach out to him? Since *when*? But... just to humor you, do you mean reach out to him like when they were at Lex's party and he heard Alfred talking to Bruce and figured out, right then and there, that he's Batman and tried to approach him speaking on it and Batman practically, and unknowingly, spit on both his identities, questioning his reporting as biased, and Superman's efforts? Further hitting home that no one appreciates what he's trying to do yet, and provokes him into that montage of saving people? So.... defeated you own point by bringing up something stupid. You're just like so many other bandwagoners. Say it's not who you thought these characters to be, because you only watched the family shows, but don't say it's stupid or it's not them. Batman has killed, more than a few times, directly and indirectly. Superman doesn't have a rule about not killing if you're not from Earth. He'll try to take anyone *from Earth* down without it being fatal. If you're not from Earth though, and he doesn't have prep time, and you're pushing him to his limits? He is going to try to kill you because he's a fuggin warrior and, even though he fights alongside the League and all, he feels that if he fails, if he falls, then not only is the symbol broken (because he IS a symbol) but he's not sure if the rest of the League can handle something like that. That's why many of his off-world villains have some functioning form of immortality, like Brainiac and his rebirthing skills. They are portrayed as they are in the comic. Superman doesn't always save everyone. He's been set up to go around the world to save people only to arrive in time to see the bullets hit. He was not pleased. People that only know the family shows and not the darker stories aren't gonna get it, but, obviously, this isn't for you. This isn't MCU, which I also enjoy their movies, sole exception being Ironman 2, would have to pay me to watch that again. MCU is straight forward and going for the common denominator, hitting as many target groups as possible and avoiding the dark stuff. That's why Age of Ultron was more like Holiday of Ultron, that's why the Civil war wasn't given the real reason behind it. That's why Tony is *not* an alcoholic, which is a core part of the character. And before someone brings this up again, another thing that was borrowed from the comics is why Clark could hear Lois in trouble, but not his mom. They stated it in Man of Steel when he was learning to control his hearing as a kid, as well as when he told Zod. Superman has to willfully block out and filter over 99% of the stuff he hears, much like Daredevil. He's trained himself much like how you'll ignore a group of people talking until one of them says your name. No one knows his secret, other than Lois. So who would think to go to Smallville, Kansas, of all places, and harm a poor, old widow. No one before Lex. So he's not trained himself for that. On the other hand, Lois is *always* getting in trouble. He listens for whenever something like that happens. It's no different from a parent of a toddler being caught up in something and notices it's suddenly too quiet and gets up to go check. People just like to bitch.

[@casselskeep]

Yes! Your explanation of the Martha moment is exactly what I have been saying! I can't help but wonder if you have read one of my comments on another video. That would be cool. There is a theme of redemption and resurrection running throughout the entire film.

9:37 personally the only thing the "Martha" scene needed was a P.O.V shot of Bruce briefly seeing himself as the robber who killed his parents (seeing hismelf holding a gun instead of the spear), after Superman pleads him to save his mom, Martha. Sure it is one hell of a coincidence, but is the coincidence that was loud and in-your face enough to get into the head of the rage-fueled Batman at this point.

Humans are flawed and extreme emotions can lead us to do extreme things. Bruce even gets a visit from future Barry telling him that he was right all along, hinting to a future Injustice movie. While it might be enough to keep Bats from killing him right then and there, it wouldn't be enough to instantly make them friends. Plus, who the fuck says "He's going to kill _insert mothers name_" rather than "He's going to kill my mother?" No one, that's fucking who.

+MGsubbie Someone's crying.

[@billcipher3711]

MGsubbie Yeah I agree that it's unusual for someone to call his mother by her first name like that. As well as Superman not taking the chance to explain the whole situation to Batman at the start. But first off, Superman hated Batman as well, even though he took down a bunch of criminals he's still a law-breaking vigilante that terrorises Gotham. Hence why Superman decided to fight Batman after Batman attacked him. Anyways, here are my two explanations on why Superman said Martha. Superman obviously knows who Batman is, he's seen him as Bruce Wayne and as Batman before and he can easily tell that they're both the same person with his X-ray vision. He probably did his research about Bruce and Bruce's backstory, hence using it to intimidate Bruce. Another reason is that Superman found out who he really was from Man of Steel. Also he's a grown man and he might have changed who he should call Mother. Plus you might not know what you are saying when you get beaten up by a guy in a batsuit. In the end it was forced anyway for the sake of plot and when I mean forced I mean forced terribly. But this is just a somewhat logical explanation that fits the story.

[@cappapagoooo]

“What can you ask for?” or as Dave Wyndorf(if you know you know) says “what else do you want?” Are the mantra for this movie(either line). The story has problems but visually it’s a comic book come to life like a lot of us never thought we’d see

Lol. I did stop what I was doing and immediately clicked on this as soon as I saw it. I had to see what could be positively said about this one. 1st movie ever I went to theaters to see and walked out actually kind of wanting my money back lol smh

[@cjhudgins36]

RIGHT!!!

[@neonrodenson1480]

People also turned off their brains when they wondered why Superman couldn't find his mother himself. Yes, telescopic/x-ray vision would've helped...IF he knew she was in Gotham. He had no reason to assume that. She was all the way in Kansas when she was kidnapped and Luthor made it clear that he had no idea where his men took her because he wouldn't let them tell him. That being said, for all he knew, she could've been anywhere. Possibly even out of the range of his senses (which Zack Snyder said were nerfed in this universe). That's not a risk he could take. Super-hearing wouldn't have worked either, as she had guns and a flamethrower pointed at her head, keeping her from making a sound. You can't hear a sound if there is no sound to hear.

[@JOTMAN619]

lex even said if he flies away Martha dies meaning if superman tried to go and find martha they'll end up killing her before he even finds her

[@neonrodenson1480]

Manny619 Exactly. Lex has been one step ahead of Superman throughout the entire film. He knew Superman would come for Lois in Africa and knew he'd show up at the capitol. People really think he wouldn't have anticipated Superman going to find his own mother?

[@neonrodenson1480]

James Clissett Yes. That's what a lot of people don't understand. For films, you have to put limits and filters on Superman's abilities in order to make storytelling more accessible. Superman can't be seen pushing planets or tanking supernovas. Unless you're a comics reader, that comes off as ridiculous. I mean, look at how people call BS on the things Chris Reeve's Superman could do; throw a cellophane "S" sheet, wipe Lois' memory with a kiss, rebuild the Great Wall of China by looking at it, and of course, turning back time with a worldwide spin. A Superman of that power-level is not optional for today's cinema.

[@MEl-zz3ke]

Just to help your point, she was actually in a warehouse in Gotham. In the extended cut she's collected by a GCPD Officer while Batman flies off. People who ask why Superman couldn't have found her are vastly underestimating how big Metropolis is, how big the World is, and Overestimating Supermans powers.

[@neonrodenson1480]

M El Oh, yeah! Silly me! She was in Gotham. And I'm so glad to see yet another person who actually pays attention to the narrative and recognizes Superman's clear limitations in the DCEU. Thanks again for the Gotham warehouse catch! Can always count on a member of the House of El for intellectual insight!

[@s1mplemelon570]

It's not a great movie, but it's not as bad as people say. Id give it a 6.5/10 or somewhere around there

the martha bit was the worst and most persistent criticism i’ve seen levied at a film in a long time. thank you for exactly pointing out what it was really all about. so obvious.

He didn't point it out? It still felt forced
