No disrespect at all. Idc that you don?t like it, as it doesn?t change my viewing experience of the film. We just interpreted things differently based on what we saw, and that?s fine. I?m not attempting to justify anything. I feel you?re approaching it assuming Batman was ?supposed? to be the same Batman that he started out as 20+ years ago and therefore to you, he should have done this, he should have done that, etc, because that?s what you wanted to see. He wasn?t, and that was the point (this was made more evident in the UE). It worked for me. I could say the same for you in attempting imo a bit too hard to justify why you loathe it. No disrespect, of course.
I get that, but Batman would have no clue what ?my mom? means, and I don?t think it wouldn?t carry the same emotional weight. Plus, Clark knew Bruce?s mother?s name was Martha from having done his own detective work and likely knew that would stun him. Again, perhaps we just saw something different in the same film.
