20 Most WTF Moments In The DCEU (So Far)

16. Superheroes Kill Lots Of People

By far one of the most questionable aspects of the entire DCEU is its frequent depiction of superheroes who will freely kill people without giving it a second thought.

This is largely an issue in the Zack Snyder DCEU movies above all others.

Man of Steel saw Superman (Henry Cavill) making little effort to reduce collateral damage during his battle with Zod (Michael Shannon), while in Batman v Superman he smashed a warlord through a brick wall and, despite what Snyder says, most certainly killed him.

The worst offender by far, though, has been Batman (Ben Affleck), who in Batman v Superman kills numerous criminals with the Batmobile, brands other criminals with a bat symbol so they're shanked to death in prison, and kills villains with explosives late in the movie.

Finally there's Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), who in Zack Snyder's Justice League smashes terrorists against walls with enough force to leave giant bloodstains, clearly killing them, and then uses her bracelets to seemingly atomise the terrorist leader, all in front of a bunch of children. Neat.
