The 10 Best Batman Moments From Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice

3) “Martha”

The way the battle between Batman and Superman wraps up has proven to be very divisive, with some arguing that this was a moment which didn’t feel earned and others seemingly failing to understand the fact that this simple revelation helped the Dark Knight to understand that the Man of Steel really is…well, a man.

Regardless, I think Snyder handled this moment well, and after being plagued with nightmares about his mother, it makes perfect sense that the hero would have such an extreme reaction to hearing her name. Batman then promising to save Clark’s mother also worked and helped to create the beginnings of a sure to be lasting friendship between these two heroes.
