Lex Luther was horrific. ... does not have a commanding presence like the character should.
Lex wasn't nearly as smart as he's supposed to be (he's supposed to make Tony Stark look like a moron) and there was no menace to the character. He was a little crazy - like a low-grade Joker - not the calm, reserved guy from either the comics or the JLU animated series.

Batman killed quite a few people in this. I liked that, no half measures, but out of character for him.
So did Supe - it's out of character for both. It's like Snyder and Goyer HATE the characters. Their version of Supe is completely different than anything we've seen - and not in a good way.

the bullet subplot seemed like it would have been more interesting if developed more.
Why would Lex take the time to set up Superman only to leave behind bullets that could easily be traced to him?
Commander: "Mr Luthor, we're ready to leave on this top secret mission to make Superman look like a bad guy, should we use untraceable standard NATO rounds?"
Lex: "No, use these bullets that are only made by my company."
Commander: "Are you sure? Are they special in some way? Will they help the mission?"
Lex "No, why do you ask?"
Snyder and Goyer: "Now THAT'S what we call plot development! Start clearing a space for our Oscar!"

Also the bats lifting him out of the hole was stupid too. Its was not well displayed the difference between a dream or real life either.
I'm pretty sure that was a dream sequence. Not sure about how Bats got a vision/dream about Parademons, Darkseid or the Flash.
