Then...shouldn't Batman be smart enough to realize something's up if he isn't instantly destroyed by a far, far, far superior opponent?   Plus, don't you think with all the knowledge Superman gained from the fortress of solitude, and that he's already aware that being subjected to Krypton's environment has a detrimental effect on his powers, he could surmise that fragments of his homeworld could also cause such effects? 

And yes, I'm used to glaring plots holes, but man, that's a huge huge one.

Plus, Superman's got ridiculous hearing.  Don't you think he'll be able to hear Bruce Wayne and Batman and be like...yeah, same person.  Hey world, I know something you don't know.  lol.

1. Batman isn't trying to kill Superman because Superman is trying to kill him. so Supermans motives would have little to no effect on Batmans actions.

2. Kryptonite isn't in MOS at all, so up to that point, he is unaware any part of krypton is on earth at all.

3. I don't thin I've ever seen a story-arch where Superman doesn't know who Batman is almost right away, he has x-ray vision. We don't know if he know's who he is in the new movie, but I will be very surprised if it takes Superman very long to figure it out.

Oh, and idk how big of a plot hole it is... I can think of several just from Guardians of the Galaxy that are worse.

1. Did you mean to say he's nto trying to kill him, because Superman's not trying to kill him?  Otherwise the sentence is a head scratcher :D

2.  No, Kryptonite isn't, however, Superman does lose his powers when subjected to Krypton's atmosphere (in Zod's ship).  Superman's not an idiot, plus he had at least some time absorbing knowledge from his father.   So, is it unreasonable to suggest that Superman wouldn't be wary of all things Krypton?

3. Exactly, end the fight before it begins, let everyone know who Batman is...he'll be too busy dealing with his enemies and the press to pursue Superman.
