This one has really caused people to throw up their arms in despair; the only rule more golden than 'Superman doesn't kill' is 'Batman doesn't use guns,' yet there's Batfleck at the trailer's end, levelling some heavy looking artillery at the rampaging Doomsday. Batman does have a history of using guns in the comics, although it's been heavily retconned to give the caped crusader a pathological aversion to the tool of his parents' death. All well and good when you're fighting mob bosses and freaks, but when you're fighting a giant, mutated Kryptonian death monger? Somehow I don't think a batarang will cut it there. I mean come on, seriously, this isn't the gritty, street level scrapping of the Nolanverse, and if it's meant to be a three pronged attack on Doomsday then it would be unfair to have Batman simply kicking its ankles whilst Supes and Wonder Woman use their powers. No, it's better to show how resourceful Master Wayne is, creating a weapon to incapacitate the creature, and letting him play an equal part to his super-friends in bringing down Lex's plans. So long as he doesn't shoot Luthor in the face with a 12 gauge afterwards we should be seeing Batman rising to the occasion and not just sitting on the sidelines whilst the demigods have all the fun.
