BvS Batman v Superman & The Dark Knight Returns - let's clear something up... [SPOILERS]

I find this Batman was selfish instead of selfless. Even when he did something great like save a young girl from dying, he turns into the Punisher and attempts to kill Superman without looking into him. He met Clark for christ sakes and couldn't figure out that he looked like Supes. He's human looking and acting enough, for two full years, do some digging and see where he's living, if he's a lone wolf or not, where he was raised on earth before Zod arrived and forced him to come forward. When he saves Martha, minutes prior, he's killing thugs without blinking. Sure he's rushing to get to her, but it's still dumb.

TBH I think the point of Batman's arc in this film was to depict him as selfish. I'm aware that a lot of the things in this film didn't make sense but I think Batman's story mostly made sense. I wrote my very long interpretation of Batman's arc in the review thread in case you're willing to have a long read:

The thing is, to repeat myself, and many others, you can tell that story far better WITHOUT Batman crossing that line, and becoming the very thing that made him.

The driving conflict becomes can he cross that line to save the world from the, in his mind, inevitable threat when Superman turns to the Darkseid.
