Superman confirmed to be a reboot.

They could make the environment for Superman darker, but don't make Supes himself darker. As mentioned above, he should be the ray of light when hope is lessened.

Superman vs Batman could've worked well this time because of how well the Dark Knight did. Since Batman *SPOILERS...though you should have seen Dark Knight by now* went off into the night at the end of the movie basically, they could've had him go to another city, and then tie in Superman. At the end of that, have Batman return to Gotham to see how bad it became after the Bat left and people wishing he hadn't left.

I'm no writer so its just an idea that could have panned out if they didn't chop Bat vs Supe
