How could anyone forget the highly unconvincing conclusion to Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman's (Henry Cavill) tussle in Batman v Superman?

At the conclusion of the fight, Bats prepares to stab Supes with the Kryptonite spear, but the Man of Steel manages to shout out, "Martha!", confusing Bruce and, after Lois (Amy Adams) explains that Martha is also the name of Superman's mother, he relents.

Some have tried to argue that the moment is about humanising Superman in Batman's eyes, as he probably never even thought about him having a mother before, but it's clumsily-handled to say the least, and was widely mocked by the foaming fanboys online ("Our mothers have the same name. Did we just become best friends?").
