6. Cringe-worthy dialogue
Did someone actually think lines like: “don’t give me a bucket of piss and call it granny’s peach tea” was good writing? The things some of the characters say in Batman v Superman are completely mind-boggling. Lex Luthor rambles on incoherently about gods and other such nonsense for what seems like an eternity.
The writing in the film is just plain bad. Having Batman realize Superman has the same name as his mother is not clever, and the attempts at jokes are so bad that even two-bit, amateur stand-ups wouldn’t tell them. Having Martha Kent joke that Batman must be a friend of Superman because they both wear capes is pathetic.
