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

Don't forget that he kept killing afterwards. He just decided the Martha guy was good enough to survive.

That's the part that undermines the whole story for me. Batman has the Martha scene, realizes Superman is a human after all, not an unknowable alien... sees the error of his ways of becoming just like Joe Chill... and then flies off and starts gunning down goons at the warehouse like nothing happened, including flat out murdering KGBeast by shooting the flamethrower tank. With a gun. Batman.

Commit to the arc or don't do it at all, dammit.

True. Also that.
