10 Unintentionally Funny Moments From Batman V Superman

6. Are You Just Going To Float There?

This might be the first version of Superman that's not a hero. Sure, he does heroic things, but it always seems like an huge inconvenience to him. He appears to have little interest in saving anyone who isn't Lois Lane. But when the world turns against him, Superman tries to do damage control and so we get a montage of him reluctantly doing his superhero duties.

Obviously the film wants him to look like a hero but every time they try he ends up looking more like a jerk. The best and funniest example is during his good deeds montage when a family is stranded on a roof during a massive flood. They rejoice at the sight of Superman floating in the sky above them. 

And that's it. He just watches them as the water rises around them. 

He probably saves them eventually, but it's a pretty funny image. These poor people want nothing more that to get off the very unsafe roof and get to dry land. But Superman looks really Christ-like at this angel so he's just going to stay up here a while until the imagery really sinks in with them. Your welcome.
