15 Worst Superhero Movie Moments Since 2000

4. Batman V Superman - Dawn Of Justice: "Martha!"

This mostly unsuccessful superhero flick did at least deliver on what its title promised: an awesome fight between Batman and Superman.

That being said, the fight was too short and it ends in the worst way imaginable. When Superman yells out "Save Martha!", all of sudden Batman cannot bring himself to kill Superman since his late mother had the same name. Upon realising this the two team up as friends.

It was inevitable that the pair would eventually stop fighting and team up against main antagonist Lex Luthor, but surely there had to be a better way to do it than this? It's simply not believable that they would stop fighting each other over something as minor as their mothers' names and instead of coming across as emotional this scene just feels clunky and stupid.

This will no doubt go down in history as one of the most misjudged moments in a big-budget blockbuster ever.
