10 Dumbest Decisions In DCEU History
3. Why Batman Stopped Trying To Kill Superman
There are two sides to the whole Batman fighting Superman coin in terms of dumbass decisions from the former. The entire fight in itself was stupid, particularly as they were both manipulated overall by Lex Luthor, but then it gets even worse.
At the very least, Bruce had his own reason for doing what he was doing in his head. It wasn’t a great one, but at least he believed it with all the conviction and confidence in his body. He was wrong of course, but he truly believed he was right. Until he didn’t.
Yes, Batman stopping the fight against Superman was the right thing to do, it would have been a huge mistake to kill the Man of Steel, but how Bruce Wayne came to that decision was mind-numbingly stupid. Infamously stupid. So stupid that the scene itself is widely thought of as one of the worst in comic book movie history.
If he genuinely believed that the entire planet was under threat with the presence of Superman, why did he stop trying to save the world just because their mothers shared the same name? Maybe mind-numbingly stupid is actually underselling it somewhat.
