This what (at least if Snyder has some intelligence) I think will be the main focus of BvS. Batman is unimpressed by Supermans disregard for destruction and death and is going to show Superman the type sacrifice that is necessary to be a hero (including having a normal alter-ego life).
I think MoS was striving to avoid the trap that Green Lantern fell into where they tried to make a character who was by all accounts an ahole into full-fledged a hero in under a week, in one film. It just doesn't work like that and there has to be a reason for a character change beyond "I have superpowers and a girl to fight for!"
I'm hoping that once the series is flushed out a bit more, Superman will end up being more like what diehards describe and MoS will be looked upon more favorably as a piece of a larger story.

Agreed, we didn't get an open and closed book with Superman in MoS, we saw a Superman that has never been shown before, one who is willing to kill.
I have a feeling Batman won't really like that.. the mentorship between Bats and Supes could be fun to watch. Lots of different ways they can take this and as a DC fanboi I will give them my money at the theatre. Hell I will pretty much support any comic book based movie, I even gave Marvel my money for that atrocious GoTG, how much worse can it get? Wait actually I liked that was a free screening... but I WOULD have paid to see it even if I knew how bad it was going in.
