The widely mocked "Martha" moment is about their commonality-they both have mothers named Martha Superman isn't some absent alien figure who does what he pleases, and Batman isn't some cruel vigilante who doesn't care about people. We're learning about Superman from people who don't know him, and to be fair to the film, that ties into the larger idea that Batman and Superman are enemies because they don't know each other.

When you come into Batman v Superman, Superman isn't really there.
