The Avengers bloody rampages

I hadn't realized that there were only 2 casualties in that battle.  That and your further argument for Superman's actions will cause me to revisit BvS.  I always thought there was much more for Supes to account for, and that is what motivated Batman to try and take him out, for the safety of the masses in a just cause, at least in his head and that he really believed it.  This makes me think more that he took the loss of employee and girl personally and was on a personal vendetta with protecting the world as an excuse.  

To be perfectly clear, of course there were at least hundreds of deaths. In such an event there would be. The same could be said about any of the major comic book movie battles that take place in a city or crowded place that hasn't had the chance to evacuate, including any of the major Avengers battles. You don't think anyone died in that Hulk/Iron Man or Sakovia fight?

But to be perfectly technical about this particular argument, those two deaths are the only ones that we ACTUALLY know about. We don't actually see or know about any other deaths from the point of view of the movie itself.

So, again, technically speaking, we know of only two actual deaths: Wayne's employee who stays in the building after he evacuates everyone else, and the little girls mother. Then there's the guy who's legs are crushed.

If a movie wants you to understand that there were tons of deaths it will show them to you. Otherwise you can really only point the finger at these two. And those happen in BvS, not MOS.
