Spending 18 months devising a way to kill someone who protected the entire planet and who regularly flies around the world saving people from natural disasters and burning buildings is stupidity, especially when you consider that the movie opens up on this conflict by showing Bruce in anguish over people in his office building dying as if Superman is to blame. He didn't have a conversation with the guy, he didn't do any research, he just decided that Superman must be stopped. Again, it isn't "cynicism". The way that the movie presented it is best described as "stupidity".
Yes, no research needed for him. Based on his experiences, with him seeing good people turn bad, he believed if Superman turned bad it would be catastrophic. He obviously acted wrongly in this.
In Africa and when Lex drops Lois? Superman knew Lois would be in Africa interviewing this warlord so he knew exactly where she would be. Other times he has rescued Lois, doesn't she usually scream? Martha never uttered a word.On two separate occasions Superman flew from around the planet to save Lois, so I don't buy for a second that he is unable pinpoint where his mother was. Again, another contrivance.
Secondly, he put very little effort into actually talking to Batman. He has a total of one or two lines before he started hitting and threatening him, and again, none of those lines (as usual with this Superman) contained anything of value which would calm down Batman or make him come around to Superman's side.
