Tagline. When Batman and Superman first meet, they don't like each other so much that they have a fight.
Trivia
Ben Affleck wanted the role of Batman so badly that he asked director Zack Snyder to kill his parents. "I knew then that I had my Batman," said Snyder, who had killed Affleck's parents hours before for reasons unrelated to the movie.
To prepare for the project, Snyder had an elective lobotomy which removed all memories of the characters Superman and Batman, then had them described to him by a 12-year-old diehard Marvel fan.
While promoting the movie, Henry Cavill walked around Times Square wearing a Superman t-shirt. When no one seemed to recognize him, he offered this as proof that Clark Kent's glasses would be enough of a disguise, even though the simpler explanation is that no one cares about Cavill as Superman.
Director's trademark: A woman spitting into a man's mouth to indicate intimacy or trust.
Six scale models of the Batmobile were built for practical effects shots. The models were 10:1, weighing 50,000 pounds each. A team of tractors was used to open the Batmobile's 48-foot-tall door. A CGI Ben Affleck was then added to the shot.
Director's trademark: A character's fist angrily striking a tabletop, crushing the fully dressed hot dog they were holding.
BvS:DoJ marks the first time in DC Comics history that Superman uses the c-word. It is the first line of dialogue.
Mistakes
Lois Lane does not have a HUD.
The names "Perry White," "J. Jonah Jameson," "Daily Bugle" and "Daily Planet" are used interchangeably.
In the scene where Superman searches the waterfront, Metropolis is visible across the bay from Metropolis.
Perhaps in an attempt to update the characters for a modern audience, Batman mentions the "utility apps on [his] dashboard," which is clearly just his utility belt.
Superman is often referred to as a boat, apparent in the scene where Batman throws radioactive shards, and Superman "sustains minor hull damage."
Characters continually deliver lines and follow them with "and I'm talking to you, not them," pointing at the character they are addressing. However, it is already commonly accepted that the audience is not being directly addressed by the people in a movie.
Though the light from Krypton exploding would eventually reach Earth, Batman would not be able to see the death of Superman's parents on the planet's surface with the naked eye.
It seems too convenient that Superman knew he could distract Batman during the climactic fight by pointing at Krypton and shouting "Look, more parents dying."
Wonder Woman's "WW" chest symbol is upside-down.
