Talk about bad story-telling killing a great fan-baiting moment. Why exactly did we need to see Flash's appearance from the future? Sure, the idea was clearly to make his impact a game-saving play, but the way it was handled beyond the initial moment of shock was a comedy of errors. The thing is, Bruce Wayne learned absolutely nothing from Flash's appearance. Okay, so maybe you could argue that Flash's input made it easier for Bruce to be switch to Superman's team and help save Martha, but in order to do that he had to completely misread what Flash was saying to him. It was all too vague and there was literally no time devoted to Bruce Wayne weighing up what he had been told. He just sort of banked the information, accepting that a man could appear through a lightning vortex at any point to give you crucial information. Bad story-telling.
