Is that the name ? Because it ' s not showing up on Stitcher . <| sep |> fuck the astros <| sep |> Most times when people say that it ' s because someone has displayed a complete misunderstanding or their criticism lacks basic logic . For instance , I was just debating with someone who said that film is so silly because the major plot HINGES on their mothers sharing the same name . So if Batman ' s mother was called Lucy Superman would be dead . I mean it ' s that kind of argument really . To me there are many levels of failure to understand not just the film itself but filmmaking in general . First of the claim is wholly untrue . The plot does not HINGE around the name Martha . That particular scene is effected by anything that provokes Batman ' s memory of that most fateful night . Martha is one of many ways his mind can be jolted in that direction . Secondly , it was a script decision . If their mothers did not share the same name they would have written it differently but to the same effect . You ' re letting an innocent mother die is an example with the same effect . Thirdly , their mothers do share the same name in reality . Fourthly , what ifs when applied to any film will completely destroy the industry of filmmaking . Particularly fictional films . What if Bruce ' s mother had not died ? What if Superman ' s mother was not in danger ? So Superman would have been killed ? You compare Martha scene to say GotG finale . What if the villain simply decided to ignore the silly dance distraction ? Well he didn ' t . He could have . Would have . He didn ' t . That ' s how the script was written . You may not like the execution of it , which is at least a reasonable critique but what if is simply wholly illogical and unsustainable as a form of criticism . That ' s one example that attracts those kinds of statements .
