Robin is much more important than Jimmy Olsen so there is no comparison. In every Superman movie Jimmy has served no purpose, the only place he seems.to be relevant is in comic books.

If he doesn't fit or add anything to the story then he shouldn't be in it. He's Clark's goofy sidekick in the comics and has added nothing to any story in the movies. I would prefer seeing Clark interact more with Perry than have Jimmy floating around being useless. Again he has only ever been used well in LnC and arguably Smallville. I won't harp on Snyder for killing of a useless character and actually making him more adult and interesting than he has ever been in previous movies.

What a shortsighted, ignorant comic. Just because Jimmy Olsen hasn't been used well in the past does not mean he will never be used well in the future. He could have been an interesting and worthwhile inclusion to this universe; too bad a moron shot him in the face.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions. -

So you think killing him off and preventing any future filmmakers from using the character in their movies is better than trying to include him? Or, better yet, just not putting him in the movie at all?

When I learned that was Jimmy Olsen from the extended cut (because they don't give you this info in the original) I was so pissed off. What is the point?

Some versions of Jimmy Olsen have him being the son of a CIA agent or special forces soldier, so him being in the CIA may have made sense but not if they were going to kill him off 30 seconds later.
If they were going to kill him off in 30 seconds, who cares if his name was "Jimmy Olsen" or anything else??- You ever seen Superman $#$# his pants? Case closed.

I'm not defending how he was used in BvS but bear in mind that the CIA agent we saw may have just been using "Jimmy Olsen" as his cover in which case it may not have actually been him which leaves the door open for a future appearance should they wish it. It's highly improbable but you never know
