I stomached the movie as much as I could. But if Superman is you favorite character, this movie is not for you. He's mopey and he's stupid. Batman gets the drop on him him with a kryptonite gas grenade. Cool. Supes has no experience with the stuff at this point and has no reason to think an earth made weapon fired at him will do him any damage. We'll ignore the fact that Batman used cover a smoke grenade to hide hide from Superman. Sure. Maybe the smoke was lined with lead and supressed the sound of his breathing and heartbeat. Whatever. Anyway, if Superman takes a deep breath from kryptonite gas, my kid could wreck him. So an armored Batman proceeds to do so. But Superman recovers. If Superman has even basic intelligence, the fight is over at that moment. At least it should've been. But what does the son of Krypton's smartest scientist do? He stands there and watches while Batman reloads the weapon that JUST WRECKED HIM 5 MINUTES AGO! I was literally sitting in the theatre going, "What the hell are you waiting for Mr Faster Than A Speeding Bullet? You know what he's about to do! Get your butt over there grab that thing and toss it into orbit...or fly away, come back from a different direction faster than Batman can blink and knock him unconscious...or melt the trigger with you damn heat vision...or use your heat vision to detonate the grenade before he fires it at you! But don't wait until the moment he's about to FIRE THE DAMN THING AND RUSH HIM YOU DOPE!!" Or should I say Superdope. Of course you could've avoided all this by just telling him outright you needed help finding Martha...because you forgot you had a little less than an hour to scour the planet with super speed using your vast sensory abilities to find her your damn self.
