Because Batman has clearly upped his game and strayed from his path. It's meant to provoke a response from the audience.Rubber bullets would have done the job. I actually liked the branding until it became clear that it meant death in prison. Why did they have to add that?
Because you don't like reading the truth. Even Gerry Conway, co-creator of Punisher and former Batman writer compared Batfleck to him.
Yes, it was recent. But unnecessary. The killing was enough (and stupid, especially because he's probably been doing it for years if not decades).It wasn't "clear", it was surmising in a news report. Given there were only two cases of it happening, it's not like it was this long and ongoing pattern.

Batman was dealing with some pretty high stakes saving Martha. It's either his only leverage he has on Superman ever again. Or if she did die, he was worried Superman would go Darkseid on us and kill off half the planet.
Which begs the question.
Why would Superman agree to let Batman go and save his own mother when he could do it far quicker and efficiently?
Let alone, the fact that He was about to be murdered by this violent vigilante only moments ago.
This was a big WTF moment to me in a film of many.
The only reason it was written this way is so we can have the warehouse scene. Pfftt.
That was also something I wondered, in the end they just made this decision. I'm not sure but maybe Superman had no way to locate her, Alfred had already the drop on their hidingplace.
Anyway it's no worse than Nolan's decision to make Joker just dissapear after Batman jumped after Rachel. THAT was something that bugs the hell out me even today.

Back to BvS, both Batman and Superman made that decision to let Batman save his mother. They just did. Batman persuaded Superman a little to win his trust and Superman trusted him enough to let him do it. There's not much more to it. Sometimes people make wrong choices (like BaleBats did), but it the end it worked out and we got one of the best Batman fight scenes ever on film. No scene was left unfinished unlike the above scene from TDK.
Why is this such a big deal?
Yeah there was a scene omitted from TDK right after Bats saves Rachel which is of Joker and his goons in getaway car. Joker is all elated at the excitement of the events and the escape.
I don't understand why people are so upset about Batman killing in this. In Batman '89 he drops bombs from his Batmobile at the thugs in the chemical plant, he shoots missiles at the thugs on the parade floats....In Batman Returns, he straps a bomb to a thug and smirks. He lights another thug on fire with the Batmobile Yet people love that portrayal of Batman and there are quite a number of people that feel Keaton is the best Batman. This feels like a double standard to me.
Not to mention Christopher Reeve Superman kills a depowered Zod while smirking. Superman uses his super strength (as Clark) to beat up a bully in a diner. People love that portrayal of Superman. Yet Cavill Superman kills (with no other options) a raging Zod about to kill a family and destroys a man's truck and people are outraged. Double standard.
@nogster
It's a movie based on comicbook characters, all real life logic fails. It's just like Black Widow or Hawkeye fighting alongside Hulk and Thor.
It makes little sense in real life, but because it's a comicbook movie it can get a pass. Don't take everything that happens in these movies that seriously, it's not like your watching a Daniella Steele movie or some real life documentary.
