[@Sep]: I agree. I fear that Batman v. Superman might suffer the same as the Amazing Spider-Man 2 (or even Age of Ultron): trying to set up an equivalent "MCU" in the DC Universe. Marvel did: Iron Man, Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers. Sony did: ASM, ASM2. DC is doing: Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman. The only things I can think of off the top of my head that BvS has over ASM2 is that it has 1) Batman, a proven successful comic character in film adaptions (although the same could be said of Spider-Man before the ASM movies), 2) the novelty of Batman and Superman in the same film, and 3) Age of Ultron did well, despite suffering the "this movie is basically a preview for the next five movies" syndrome. Edit: We're not trying to rain on your parade, KidLantern. I'm glad you're hopeful for BvS.
