10 Stupid Comic Book Movie Deaths That Should Never Have Happened

It is not hyperbole or exaggeration to say that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was not only a terrible mess of a movie, but Warner Brothers are still, to this day, trying to recover from the tidal wave of negative press that came from one of Hollywood's largest studios completely bombing what should have been a slam dunk production.

There are so many horrible creative and cinematic decisions made in the making of this film that it's hard to pick just one that stands above the others. But if any have a fighting chance of coming out on top, it would be the choice to kill off Superman. In the midst of a fight with Doomsday, Superman needlessly sacrifices himself by carrying a kryptonite spear. This kills Doomsday, but he has enough gas in the tank to shove his own bone through Superman's chest.

Not only was this a pointless waste of one of the greatest intellectual properties of all time, but it didn't fit in the plot in the slightest. It barely matched the film's dark and disjointed demeanor and dragged out not only the end of the film but the first half of the already-doomed Justice League follow up. Without a doubt, this was the absolute worst character Batman v Superman could have killed.
