What was the point of making Jimmy a CIA spook and then killing him off in the first 15 minutes?

the sad thing is, when Superman tells Bats that the Bat is dead. That's a well-done scene and it's pretty cool, the tone doesn't get fucked up as well
Hack Snyder's just self-conscious and thinks people will think he's a little kid if he doesn't fill the entire movie with doom and gloom and symbols

To be fair, Nolan's batman is constantly parodied as some retard loony with a throat cancer.

Look, I don't agree with Snyder, it can be done, and he did it himself, his Batman was awesome, better than Nolan's actually. I have no idea why Snyder said that. It's his job to find a way.

Because Zack Snyder knows that the movies will now focus on the JL, meaning that they won't have time or chance to work with Superman's cast.

He also wanted to shock the audience and leave them on their edge, not knowing what to expect next.

He also wanted to show that this will be a movie where Superman won't be able to save the day or get himself out of a tight situation, even when it comes to Jimmy Olsen.

I hated it, though.

Well, maybe Jimmy just doesn't have a role in the story going forward. It's as simple as that. There's a gazillion other characters left to use, so I'm fine with this, even when I like Jimmy very much.

at best WB may accidentally muddle their way into a decent Batman movie franchise revival.

Kirby's Jimmy is nothing like regular Jimmy. If every writer wrote him like Kirby did then I'd agree with you, otherwise he's a pointless outdated self insert for little kids who no longer read Superman comics.

But why use him at all if he served no point in the movie. Even his death is basically ignored by Superman.

He could have just not been in the scene and everything else played exactly the same and it would have been a much better scene.

He had his purpose, and if the writers think they don't need him from here on out, why not use this well-known character from the DC character pool? Sure this eliminates some story opportunities, but this is how it is, someone always dies. Clearly Jimmy means more for you, than it means for the story in the movies.

Their merch sold horribly as it is, they could have used a self-insert for the kids more than a creepy bathtub scene or "dingdingdingdingding".

The Russo brothers have been interviewed numerous times with their involvement in cape films, and were quite adamant in treating named characters from the comics they're taking their movie material from very carefully. A minor character likely has value to any number of true fans in the audience, and they respect their anticipation when that character gets a scene.

Killing Jimmy off when you stop to consider the incredible amount of history that character has with the Superman franchise for such an inconsequential reason is just... supremely asinine. It's like the diector whipped his penis out and marked his territory on the film out of an ego trip.

I'm calling bullshit on this one. Even the most casual fan of Superman that can name the identities of Clark Kent and Lois Lane are by and large able to rattle off Jimmy Olsen, Lex Luthor, and Ma and Pa Kent without effort. Hell, it would be a SUPREME effort for them to dredge up the first name of Clark's earth parents, but Jimmy wouldn't make them pause for two seconds.
