15 Worst Movie Moments Of 2016

2. The Flash Dream Cameo - Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

Batman V Superman had a lot on its plate; set up the titular fight, set up the Justice League, introduce Batman, Wonder Woman, Lex Luthor and Doomsday to the DCU and try to please the fanbase. The divided response showed it wasn’t always a success, with many critics focusing on the excessive amount of dream scenes as a real problem.

The “Knightmare” seems, in particular, got people riled up, where Batman sees a future world where Superman has turned evil. It’s a visually stunning scene even if it doesn’t make much sense, but the real issue with this scene is when Bruce wakes up to see a vision of The Flash screaming exposition at him.

This moment is jarring and poorly setup, and since it has no real bearing on the rest of the story it’s amazing it was kept in.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
