10 Things In Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice That Don’t Make Any Sense

10) Why Does The Film Introduce Jimmy Olsen Just To Kill Him Off?

Jimmy Olsen is a permanent fixture of Superman movies. In the original films, he was played by Marc McClure, in Superman Returns it was Sam Huntington in the part, and in Batman V Superman it’s Michael Cassidy.

Hang on a second, though – did you even realize that Jimmy Olsen was in the film? If you’re looking for him, go back, watch the movie, then feel free to leave after the first five minutes, because at that point he’s already dead.

It’s a bit of a mystery why Snyder would introduce Olsen as the undercover CIA agent posing as a journalist, only to kill him off right at the start of the film. Perhaps an even bigger question, though, is why Snyder would sneak Olsen in as a secret cameo.

He’s not even mentioned in the film by name, meaning the only way you would have found out that Olsen was in BvS at all was if you’d stayed through the credits in the vain hope there might be a scene waiting at the end. Which there wasn’t.
