I don't approach this as a Marvel or DC guy, and I liked the movie, there's just general gaffs in the story telling that goes beyond characters doing things they wouldn't do.

- Bruce uses guns. His classic aversion to guns was his response to his parents getting killed by a gun. Now; we can reason that this Batman was reborn after losing a Robin and that changed him, but we never explore that. For all we know he always fired at explosive barrels and has a huge kill count, but then his issues with Superman make him a hypocrite. The only guy Superman killed directly was an evil krytonian who'd kill us all. Bruce, for all his brutality, is on record as letting each member of the Suicide Squad live plus Joker.

This Bruce has glaring inconsistencies.

- We spoke about this a year or so ago and it came to pass - the JL stuff was and rushed. That's not saying Marvel is better, it just seemed rushed in general.

- Batman can't possibly be so angry that he never opts to just talk to Superman and ask him to leave or just get to know him.

- Who was that chick in Bruce's bed? Zack knew he wasn't actually a playboy, right?

- How do you NOT do the 'Remember who beat you' line? This Batman is the biggest shit talking version we seen on screen and he doesn't say it.

I can go all day but only because I wanted a movie where Batman meets/fights Superman to be Avengers amazing. But it's just Iron Man 2 good. For similar reasons even.
