11 Biggest Sins Of Batman v Superman

3. The Plot Is Incoherent

The plot of this movie just makes no sense. The entire movie is completely disjointed from start to finish. 

Why do Batman and Superman hate each other? How does Superman always know whenever Lois is in danger? Why does Lex hate Superman and Batman? Why is Perry White so against Clark doing a story on Batman? Why is the government trying to frame Superman? 

Why does Clark have a vision of Jonathan? Why does the public hold Superman responsible for Wally's wheelchair bomb? Why does Bruce keep dreaming of Parademons? Why is the Flash appearing to Bruce? Why is Wonder Woman here at all? Why does Lex create Doomsday? Why does Superman have to stab Doomsday directly, why doesn't he throw the spear or give it to Wonder Woman?

The answer to all these questions is the same: because Zack Snyder said so.

And it's not like there wasn't a very good plot. Superman was reckless in Man of Steel and if this were the comic Batman with his code against killing, it would make sense why he wants to take him down. Or have Lex use the Kryptonian technology to create Bizarro, the Superman clone. That would allow him to both manipulate the public against Superman and put him into conflict with Batman.
