Bringing up Civil War is a weird flex since Cap actually DID tell Tony exactly what was going on but Tony just didn't care. That's what people are saying SHOULD HAVE happened in BvS.

there we have it. All of sudden its a different mind set.
bringing civil war is on point, I think its a great idea because both movies were highly competitive back then and civil war wont even have happened if not for Snyder doing Dawn of justice.
So civil war is worse, because tony was aware but he let his ego get in the way to the point of bringing in spiderman because??????Bringing up Civil War is a weird flex since Cap actually DID tell Tony exactly what was going on but Tony just didn't care.
Batman in the film was not aware of anything because he did not want to listen to superman.
So out of the two. tony come off worse than batman. at least batman was mostly ignorant, tony wasnt.
He also just passive aggressively flies away after Batman has left destruction and dead men in his wake after a conflict he started. That does not sound like a person who cares.
This is ALSO in the film. How about that?
Him saying stay down is yet more posturing and wasted dialogue when he can actually say what he needs to say. Batman was down for a few moments and catching his breath, and not just during one instance during that fight, before Kryptonite came into the equation.
Superman is a moron.
Yes I've read comics. Superman usually talks more in those instances when he wants to defuse a fight. Yes I've seen those other things, none of which matter when discussing this film. How do you know I'm even a fan of those (I'm not)? You bringing them up indicates a lack of confidence in the moving you're defending if you feel the need to bring in unrelated stuff to prop it up.
It's rich that you're asking someone to be objective when you are far from objective yourself. Nobody is saying that Batman would automatically listen, just that Clark could have tried way harder. That is what he came there to do after all, why isn't he doing it? It would be better scripting if he tried and failed, than not trying at all and being surprised that Batman is responding with more violence. And makes him come across as an idiot who really isn't that concerned about his mother if his petty grudge match with Batman is taking priority. Characters acting like idiots to get the plot moving, defying all logic, is poor scripting.
This is a movie that got a lot of razzie nominations and even had one of its own actors (Jeremy Irons) say it deserved to be trashed. Lol, someone needs to be more honest with themselves and isn't the detractors.
So tony's behaviour was worse than batman huh?
To go further, batman knew who wonder woman was, he could have blackmailed her to help him take down Superman. he didnt. what was tony doing trying to blackmail a kid like Spiderman to join a fight in civil war?
So if you like civil war, you can not-not like dawn of justice that had more sound reasons for people to fight.
I think we should just post the video and dialogue
When Superman said there was no time...that was the defector but even then Superman would not have killed Batman even if he had the power.SUPERMAN: Bruce. Please. I was wrong. You have to listen to me. Lex wants us to--.
A shield activates, but Superman rips a manhole cover in half and hurls them at the shield.
SUPERMAN: You don't understand. There's no time!
BATMAN: I understand.
Superman pushes Batman back. Turrets fires. Superman flies up and destroys them with his heat vision.
SUPERMAN: Stay down! If I wanted it, you'd be dead already.
Batman throws a smoke bomb, but Superman dashes through it, wonders where Batman is, grabs a second bomb, but it fires out green smoke causing him to choke.
BATMAN: Breathe it in. That's fear. You're not brave. Men are brave.
Batman and Superman began fighting which ended with Batman dragging Superman after another exposure to the green smoke.
BATMAN: I bet your parents taught you that you mean something. That you're here for a reason. My parents taught me a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all.

Yes, Tony was worse than Batman. Nobody has claimed otherwise so not sure why you think you're making a point?
My dear so ok you're saying that it would be better for Superman to lay his cards out on the table because he is trying..ok I'll let that slide but go on now that all cards are on the table we go back to the Zod scenario, Batman still wants Superman down and now Superman has nothing to make Batman see Lex's ruse for what it is-he only has one option 1 .Die himself or 2 Kill the Batman .So in fact instead of an alliance we have one kill the other.Do you you sit back and contemplate how your 'idea' affects the story in film? Basing on this I don't think so...
tony is worse because civil war has a worse script to snyder's dawn of justice, you cant be pro civil war and anti dawn of justice.it hurts your credibility to me.
If only Batman had listened to superman before he tried to fight him but please note that, films require something called character development. batman at the point was so filled with rage but its good the fight happened and he nearly killed superman, until superman told batman of ''martha''. that was what made batman realise he was been a jerk.

Lol ok...so what development happened during the fight that made Bruce decide to listen and what caused it to occur, exactly? Because earlier you all were arguing that it was simply realizing that Clark has a mom. Now you're saying that finding out that information earlier wouldn't matter.

Actually by watching the video, we have an instance from 1:29-1:45 where Batman is down and there is a lull in the fighting where Superman is wasting time without saying anything. He just walks over silently.
This isn't really helping your case. Are you watching the scene?
Then that's up to Batman. And by the very script, Clark has no reason to think Bruce is an actual threat to him yet. If we go by internal logic, he has no reason to antagonize someone who is unstable and wants to kill him, his mother's life is on the line and he doesn't have time, but he does it anyway. Because he's an idiot. They both are because the script needs them to be.
If it affected the story of the film, I think Superman's part in it would have been better. It's not a very good film.
Also, the film tells us that if Batman hears that Clark's name is Martha he'll help lol, so if Superman said his mother's name early on there would be no fight. He has no reason really to believe him at the end of the fight anyway.
What made Bruce listen finally was when Lois said, Martha was his mother. that was the development from bruce seeing superman as a cold hearted alien to a guy who cares about people or something and not just anything, a parent. a parent batman lost.
You know what is so funny? batman in those 2 seconds showed remorse and concern for martha than steve and bucky ever did for tony loosing his parents.
You know what tears people up? when Bruce says, I promise you, Martha won't die tonight, which was again, the PTSDS of Batman loosing his own mother that fateful night , she was shut and not wanting that to happen again to another person's mum, if he could help it.
[QUOTE=Blind Wedjat;5038017]Bringing up Civil War is the classic deflection tactic /QUOTE]
its not a classic deflection its hypocrisy. why are you quick so say what Snyder did was wrong and defend something worse?
We are not making excuses. we are defending what snyder did and being sound about it.part of being sound is to use other films to show what Snyder did was good or better and it seems to be working.Snyder's fans use to make excuses for their beloved film and director's failings and accuse you of having a bias, instead of actually engaging in a discussion like a reasonable person.[
