6. The World's Greatest Detective Can't Tell That Clark Kent Is Superman

Warner Bros.

This is a crazy fact inherent only to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it's worth mentioning anyway because... well, it's rather insane.

Somehow, we, the audience, are asked to buy into the idea that Bruce Wayne, the world's greatest detective, can't put two and two together with regards to the whole Clark Kent is Superman thing. How does Superman's secret identity last as long as it does when the only thing hiding his identity is a pair of glasses?

This aspect might've worked in the comics, where people's faces are crudely rendered, but in a live-action movie? Talk about disrespecting your audience.
