However, that could be easily ret-conned to say that JGL's character became Robin and was killed at the hands of a recently escaped Joker. Now Batman has been pulled back after all thought he had died.
The 'realism' of Nolan's universe isn't a hindrance IMO. They tried to set Superman in the same realism. "How would the real world react to the arrival of Superman?" is the essential question of both Man of Steel and BvS. The transition of the universe to a more sci-fi setting happens in the continuity as Superman rises, and we can see how Nolan's Batman would react to such an extreme change.
I'm not saying it would be better or worse, just that they could have conceivably used the same arc to continue the story.

The Nolan Batman comes out of retirement. The world suddenly discovers aliens, a population of super powered people in Atlantis, a man who can run at the speed of light, another man with a magical ring, an Amazonian woman, etc....
That universe is so different that any attempt to combine the two would essentially just be a total reboot of the Nolan universe. They've chosen a gruff older version of Batman anyways. That's about as close as we can get.
The two options are create a new Batman or don't include him.
