1: The death scene was really half-assed in DoJ, but just assume it's because he was a child.
3: He's the god damn Batman.
4/5: People were in shock. It's kind of the bystander effect--nobody does anything because nobody else is doing anything.
7: This part makes little sense. They couldn't even come up with a clever place to describe where it was; "Somewhere in the Indian Ocean"? Seriously?
8/9: Jenny is the film version of Jimmy because diversity.
10/11/12: The whole Africa sequence is so they can start building a case to frame Superman and coax him into a Senate hearing where they can then blow up the Senate committee. The guy who finds the tracker is that Russian that Lex employs who keeps outsmarting Batman.
17: He wanted to get access to the Crash Site and get his chunk of Kryptonite approved for import. A better question is why he didn't just immediately smuggle the Kryptonite in and try and bribe his way to get access to the Crash Site.
18: This is quite literally explained throughout the movie. Lex is egomaniacal, and hates the fact that he has all the knowledge in the world but an alien by virtue of being born on another world is more powerful than he could ever hope to be.
25/26: The assumption is that she wanted to know what Lex had on her, and kind of fell down the rabbithole of finding out about other Metahumans.
27/28: Celebrity Cameos. What is Anderson Cooper doing in there!?
29: It's apparently a reference to a DC storyline where Superman becomes a dictator and Batman leads a rogue group of heroes to resist him (Injustice I think?)
30: This question is answer in such an on-the-nose way even the writer got it. This probably could have been a mid-credit scene or something.
31: As I said above, reference to a storyline they want to implement where Superman is tricked into killing Lois and goes nuts.
32: Death in the Family reference/Easter Egg.
33/34/35: Because Batman knew he might not be able to follow it, so he wanted redundancy, and just because Lex is behind it all doesn't mean it's going to Lexcorp.
39: This was literally the plot of the movie. Batman became increasingly displeased with Superman's presence, and Superman (Clark Kent talks about it all the time) becomes displeased with the escalation of Batman's tactics (the branding).
40: It's never stated that he was intercepting the checks, just that he was pulling the strings. In fact, Lex hadn't even met with Wallace until halfway through the film when he saw the news report of him defacing the Heroes Monument.
41: He wanted to turn public opinion against Superman to back him into a corner mentally.
43: He wanted them to fight each other and hopefully kill one another, or at least limit the number of powerful people that opposed him. As I said above he's ego-maniacal and hates anyone that could be seen as more powerful than himself.
44/45: Everything involving these characters should have been a post-move scene, but I imagine the branding is a chicken and egg scenario--maybe they chose that representation because WW shows them the files she/Bat had on them.
46: Varies based on storyline I believe. In this apparently her people weren't in touch with the Atlantians--or she was just surprised to see him pop up on there.
47: Probably will be addressed later on, but I imagine it's Alien Artifact X.
49: If you were paying attention he tried to but Batman kept luring him into traps and trying to kill him. Then he deployed the Kryptonite Gas and Superman was busy surviving.
52: She wanted to get rid of it because she's not psychic and didn't know a Kryptonian-based Doomsday was about to show up.
53: It was to humanize Superman in Batman's eyes. His own mother was named Martha and he figured Superman had no real attachments in the human world.
55: They tracked the Russian's phone. Batman had earlier synced it to his own at the underground fighting event.
56: He's better at saving people and Batman probably figured it was smarter to send the Kryptonian to a crashed Kryptonian Ship going nuts than dive right in himself.
57: He literally says "Entering Drone Mode".
60: Because Superman starts fighting him once he comes to. The AI in the ship warned Lex using the Genesis Chamber on Kryptonians had "unstable" results. Doomsday showed up and went crazy and then Superman and Batman (and eventually WW) started attacking him.
61: Batman stole his Kryptonite.
62: Doomsday is Zod mixed with foreign DNA from the Genesis Chamber, the result is a Kryptonian monster that absorbs energy the same way Superman\Zod did with Sunlight. Hence why the nuke supercharges him.
64: Yes it did, but for some reason he stayed in low orbit while Doomsday fell back to Earth. That part makes literally no sense.
65/66: He needed the Spear, but I also believe he said the port was abandoned as in it was never used, not that everyone was off work.
67: The superheroes were a bit busy with the super destructive hellmonster shooting lasers and shit.
68: He was the first one to realize it was a Kryptonian-based lifeform and went to rescue Lois so he was in immediate proximity of the spear. Also, it was part of the whole "this is my problem" thing he was going on about.
70: I found this funny. I guess they could have just said he died at Lexcorp for some reason.
71/72/73: It's an allusion at best. I think it's more like Lex sees Superman as Pandora's Box. When he showed up on Earth he brought the Cosmos to them, and other lifeforms throughout the Universe will be coming to challenge him.
I'm not sure if this article is trying to answer questions for people or confuse them more after number 60, because the questions start becoming rhetorical. A lot of them are silly anyway--hence why I skipped answering them.
