Honestly I kinda took a similar "pure ooc fun" angle with this movie because I went in knowing that this was an adaptation of specifically Frank Miller's Batman. So for me it's less "does not know the characters involved" and more "you've chosen to adapt what I consider the worst possible base version of the character but at least you're doing what you set out for I guess." (Which is also how I view the "especially not to someone like Superman" thing, which normally would be true but this version of Bruce does have a much more legitimate reason to think of Clark as a threat than most others, so stupid and contrived as it might be for them to have such instant hateboners, I do kinda understand through the lens of Batfleck's characterization.)

For me it also helps that it's called out in-universe a few times that the level of violence is unusual for this version of Bruce, which allows me to think of this movie as just one stop on what would've probably been a longer arc for Bruce with the original plan. Definitely not what I would've chosen for the character in a million years, but I was just glad they tried, both to give Bruce an arc in a movie this packed and to take his character somewhere new even if it's maybe not the best territory. Which I guess brings me to my real problem with this "their moms have the same names" line, it dismisses the idea that there could be something interesting going on here, or at least an attempt at something interesting.
