just read this on shh ,might not be true but it throws a different light on the rumors of bats increased presence in the movie
A general desire to enhance Batman’s role in the film and the DCU is true, but those things arose over time during pre-production, rewrites, and the shooting itself. That everyone is excited by what they saw of this new Batman, and are eager to find ways to fully capitalize on what they assume will be widespread acclaim, isn’t surprising and doesn’t mean Batman is taking over the film while Superman is being pushed aside. Zack Snyder said (in response to the rumors) there is simply a lot of Batman in the movie because it’s necessary to reintroduce the new version, which isn’t the same as actually adding more Batman scenes to the film due to a studio desire for more Batman in the movie.
if they had to choose between a 2 hr 30 minute film with less Batman or a 2 hr 40 minute film with more Batman, the correct answer is “more Batman.”
In addition, I have heard rumor of Batman making some sort of appearance in another of the DC movies, probably Cyborg (and it could be Bruce Wayne rather than Batman, but I’ve not heard any details, and it’s just my personal best guess this is the other film he’ll wind up cameoing in).
And — go ahead and have a seat for a moment – I have heard a very softly whispered rumor (let me say that again, rumor) there has been some sort of talk of Batman possibly showing up in the Man of Steel sequel.
So the fact there may have been/may be talk of Batman making some sort of appearance in Man of Steel 2 does not mean it was a major topic, it was or is seriously under consideration, it happened recently (even though I only heard it fairly recently), or it will end up happening at all.
…But I personally think it will probably end up happening. At least, I think there’s a pretty good chance it will, by the time the studio gets Man of Steel 2 into development.
Plus, in these films, Metropolis and Gotham City are literally side-by-side, separated by a river. If any seriously heavy stuff is happening in Metropolis requiring Superman’s attention in a big way, there’s a pretty good chance Batman would at least drive across a bridge to ask, “Need a hand?” or Superman might take two minutes to fly across the river to ask Batman, “What do you think about this piece of evidence I found?” Heck, Superman flying around over Metropolis might just get bored and use his super-vision to see what Batman’s up to, and drop by to say “howdy” when he sees Batman brooding alone on a rooftop.
Regardless, there is also still a planned Man of Steel 2, and it was recently apparently the subject of discussions between the studio and director George Miller, so they seem to be thinking about it and until you hear otherwise from the studio there’s no need to assume they aren’t going to make it. As of now, it appears Superman is planned for at least three more films for sure in the next five years, and most likely four once contract negotiations are finished.
