11 Biggest Sins Of Batman v Superman

11. Jimmy Olsen's Senseless Death

Did you know Jimmy Olsen was in this movie? No, it wasn't the Daily Planet intern Jenny from Man of Steel. Nor were the rumors that Scoot McNairy's character would be Jimmy at all true. Instead, Snyder recently revealed that Jimmy was the photographer/CIA undercover operative who accompanied Lois in Africa.

As Snyder told EW: “We just did it as this little aside because we had been tracking where we thought the movies were gonna go, and we don’t have room for Jimmy Olsen in our big pantheon of characters, but we can have fun with him, right?”

So basically, because Snyder couldn't foresee a use for Jimmy Olsen in the future movies, he just decided, "hey, why don't we just blow him away?" It's one thing not to use a character, but to so callously execute him for no reason other than pure shock value is a pretty crass thing to do.

Furthermore, it robs future movies of one of the key aspects of Superman's humanity. Superman's supporting cast, including Jimmy, Lois, and Perry, are one of the key tethers. To so callously discard such a classic character is a slap in the face to Superman fans.
