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

9) Why Would Anyone Think Superman Was Behind The Opening Shootout?

Superman never carries weapons, because he doesn’t need them. When your eyes double as lasers and you can topple a skyscraper like it’s naught but a giant Jenga tower, you tend not to. So it’s problematic that, in the opening sequence set in the African state of Nairomi (never heard of it? That’s probably because it’s completely made up), there’s a bloody shootout that for some reason is pinned on Superman.

Of course Supes had nothing to do with the Nairomi massacre, but that he showed up there – in order to save Lois Lane from getting killed – has people back in Metropolis suspicious. But why? Superman doesn’t kill (humans; Kryptonians are fair game), and even if he did, he wouldn’t need poxy Earth weapons to carry out the act of murder for him. That nobody even asks who was really responsible for the attack smacks of lazy writing.
