Spoiler:
its there as a cautionary tale...a vision of what happens if either of two situations come to pass Becuase of batman. The first is he kills superman, and supermans not around to stop the "alien" threat. (Darkseid) or if he allows superman to snap (Lois dies, Martha does type of thing) and superman either helps Darkseid or doesn't help stop him. It's essentially there to show batman what will happen if he follows through on his plan.
Spoiler:
Superman simply go full injustice in the future. Probably because both Superman and Batman keep missunderstanding and Louis Lane die. That's why there is fracture vision of Flash, he give warning to Batman. This scene is really intriguing, I think also nod to Hermes which Flash based on, a God of Messenger
I hope they make them all. But that's me.
Anyway...
I've seen a fair bit of questions over the knightmere sequence and why it's in the film at all or what it means..

-Lex hating Superman because he sees him as a power figure (a god) similar to his abusive powerful father.
-Lex being manipulated by Darkseid.
-Bruce feeling like he hasn't made enough of a real difference in all his years as Batman and seeing his ability to stop Superman as his one final act to save the world and make a real significant difference.
-the real meaning behind Bruce's nightmare and warning from the Flash.
For a movie that critics are almost universally complaining as being too over the top, the most interesting things in this film are surprisingly subtle.

Your 100% right on all that, and I feel like because that among other things the critics completely missed and which is a major reason why people shouldn't listen to critics as if their word was gospel.
A popcorn film — and this is a popcorn film — should never feel like Sunday night homework.
Sadly, then you just get reviews like this one:
I'm not going to be one of those people who says "it's a conspiracy," or "they don't know what they're talking about," but a couple things, really. First of all, in the case of the above review, when the **** did US Weekly become a trusted critic? I don't know about you, but, if I'm looking for the go-to authority on all things film and film related, my first choice probably isn't going to be behind the cover of "KIM AND KANYE'S NEW BABY: GET YOUR FIRST LOOK HERE!"
Second of all, so many of these reviews are absolutely astonishing in how biased they are. I **** you not, in the same review, the critic talks about the "success of Deadpool" and how "audiences respond better to lighter fare like The Avengers." I think there's a lot of room for valid criticism of the film, but a lot of it just seems to be people who are pissed off that it challenges genre conventions and tries, and succeeds, in being something different from any other comic book movie.

Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash

You are so right. The Darkseid issue; this is really the only part that seem forced to me. The scenes are short, exists for the justice league movie and jarring.
There is one glaring issue that reviewers are missing. Darkseid's influence is already here. How much is already here?
Was that a mother box that Silas used on his son, Victor?
What is driving Lex to his insanity? I wish there was further explanation on this, It's obvious he is a genius (finally) that has gone insane. I think he got unhinged when he learned about Darkseid, he know he exists and he is coming. "the bell has been rung and he is coming"
The other thing that jars me out is Batman's visions, and that is what they are; why Batman? who is sending him these visions and the flash's warning? going back in time? Is this how it started with Lex? In the comics, where this could be told in a year span or 2 year span, I am almost positive there would be a panel with Metron interfering and being the cause of this visions.
I love how this movie shows that Lex, genius that he is and certainly more smarter than Lois who easily found out who Superman was, was the original source of who the Metahumans are. Of course, he should be. He's supposed to be a freaking genius.
Again, for me only the things dealing with Darkseid and the visions and Flash's warning were the things out of place and seem forced.

I think the figures announced up to now and Knightmare Bats will be it in 1/6- I'm hoping for 1/4 versions but we wil have to wait and see...
Just because you detested it and weren't entertained, doesn't mean others won't be. Your opinion isn't any more or less valid than anyone else's and it doesn't mean your tastes supplant theirs.
Erm, maybe they used electronics because it makes more sense to do that than walk around growling all night. Its makes complete sense as a voice hiding device.
Why? it has a different creative team behind it?

Let me put it like this: Sharknado is a better film because that one was bad on purpose. This one is just bad. The editing and story are bad. I can't think of anything to say in defence of the story and anyone saying doomsday was done justice in this movie is just lying to you and themselves.
