With the streak of a tear, Like morning dew

Yeah, but have we really been deluged with it in recent years to the point of absurdity? Like, to a truly Snydely extreme where we can say mission accomplished? I don't think so.
Let's examine how he improved Jonathan Kent's death in the last movie:
Superman (1978): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUUGDRxJnFU
vs., I mean, v
Man of Steel (2013) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j7lezDWh4M
Wow, so much better as an epic death scene from Twister than that boring stuff about purpose and mortality. It could only have been better if Superman was already fighting Batman then and that's why he couldn't save him; maybe we'll find out the tornado was caused by Batman's satellites though, and while they're at it they can improve the murder of his parents too (not dark and/or cool enough). Make it so that they were eaten by the Xenomorph, or skinned by Predators, or better yet blown up by the aliens from ID4 (like have that beam go directly in the top of their heads and KABOOM)! That can be why Batman hates Superman and aliens so much (added depth), and then he'll use his power armor to punch Superman a million miles away, like into outer space all the way to the sun (fucking awesome)! There's no way this movie could end up being anything but great, and certainly not stupid with a false veneer of respectability that just makes it stupider, like the title.
ANYWAY, here's something I think we can all agree is DOA and makes every other upcoming blockbuster look like a masterpiece (seriously, I kid with the BvS stuff, but this is serious like a heart attack). WARNING: It spoils what had to have been intended as an important reveal(?).

My God, it might just be so bad it's good; now THIS is absurd!
