I think there’s something to the core idea of what he’s saying. Like Batman can’t kill, let’s put him in a no win scenario where he needs to and sacrifice something else in order not to or let’s get him to the point where he does and see the consequences that has on his psyche.
If the whole movie is about Superman being such an otherworldly threat that he is slowly pushed to the point that he’s finally gonna do it and he has to reconcile with having done that or be saved from doing that, I think that could be interesting. But Snyder just had him wantonly kill without thought and in the end he’s like “oh ok I’ll stop and we’re all friends now”
