>>100598053>>100598110>It's not selective retardation, it's the plot of the movie.It's not, and never was, just Bruce. This is just a problem I have with the DCEU in general.
Jonathan is terrified of his alien son getting discovered/Jonathan keeps Clark going to public school where he can get caught and takes alien artifacts to universities to get studied.
Lois is a smart and savvy reporter that doesn't endanger herself recklessly/Lois goes climbing a glacier alone at night and doesn't even dress sufficiently warm to do so.
Clark flies under the radar and works covertly because he's cautious and doesn't want to change humanity by his presence/Clark breaks into a millennia old alien ship and starts pushing random buttons because he gots ta know.
Zod will do anything and everything to save Krypton / Zod isn't even smart enough to lie to his enemies and say he'll let earth live.
Jor-El is sicked by Krypton's caste system limiting people into what they can do /Jor El is a scientist that can beat the head of the warrior caste and gives his infant son the key to the caste system he supposedly wants to do away with.
Clark isn't limited by the caste system. His natural birth means he's free to choose what he wants to do/ Clark's alien genetics are so strong they make him predisposed to wearing a cape.
Bruce is driven into a murderous rage to kill the dangerous alien and dedicates himself to this goal for two years. / But not enough to bother sticking a tracking device on him at any point. He'll do that for a van, but not his actual target.
Clark thinks Batman is a dangerous lunatic and even if his methods were once noble, he's too brutal/But he won't unmask him or take him to jail. He'll just break his car and issue a threat before flying away instead of taking care of the problem.
Lex hates alien gods because his father abused him / Lex makes alien gods and thinks they'll obey him because he's their father.
