Batman V Superman Final Trailer Breakdown - 30 Things You Need To See

23. Batman Doesn't Understand Statistics

"He has the power to wipe out the entire human race. If we believe there is even a one percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty," asserts Batman of his new foe. Erm, Bruce, that's not how statistics work. Of course, what he means is clear - he'd rather pre-emptively remove a potential threat than wreak the consequences. So it seems like Zack Snyder is trying to make some comment on political policy and the War on Terror then?
Also at this point we get an extended shot of the havoc wrought by Superman on Metropolis, seen from Bruce's point of view, which further reaffirms his motivations for this rather alarmist stance.
