I don't understand how people expect to see direct adaptations of certain storylines when filmmakers like to craft their own original storylines with these concepts.
He is influenced by DKR the same way Nolan was with his last movie in the sense that there will be familiar elements from there in the movie to those who read the comic but the presentation and execution is completely unique to the world the filmmaker has created with these characters. Just like any other comic book adaptation.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=123365New Details On BATMAN v SUPERMAN's Dark Knight; He Put The SUICIDE SQUAD In Prison
The latest edition of Empire Magazine includes tons of new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice details, with a particular focus on Ben Affleck's Batman. As has been the case ever since he was cast, much of that focus revolves around the fact that the Gone Girl star is playing an older Caped Crusader than we're used to seeing. "We are playing him 45 or 46," director Zack Snyder confirms. "He has been Batman for 20 years. All the history is there. Was there a Robin at one time? Possibly." This interview obviously took place before the trailer was released as producer Charles Roven also teased the fate of a certain Boy Wonder. "He has lost those near and dear to him, and not necessarily from old age of disease..." That could of course also refer to Batman's other allies, especially as Jim Gordon's fate in the DC Extended Universe isn't all that clear at this point.
"Initially I thought, 'I'm older, it doesn't seem like the right sort of fit for me,'" adds star Ben Affleck. "Then Zack pitched me his concept for this older, more broken, kind of f**ked up Batman. It was something we haven't seen. We have seen that Batman is willing to cross the line to protect people. That vigilantism has been a part of his character all along, and we are tapping into that mentality when faced by something as potentially as deadly a Superman." It's Superman's arrival which is really going to shake up the life of Batman by the sound of it, as Snyder went on to explain how the Man of Steel changes the vigilante's perceptions. "We want to assume that Batman has reached this point in his life and career as a superhero, and Superman represents a sort of philiophical change. He is a paradigm shift for Batman: 'I've been fighting criminals all my life, trying to find justice, and now I am confronted with a concept that is transcendent to me.' In the face of Superman, a man robbing a bank doesn't matter."
"He's having a crisis of conscience. 'Am I really just a vigilante who stalks the alleys of Gotham?'" asks Snyder. "It is rich stuff that he deals with. Ben does an amazing job." Early on in their feature, the director indicates that Batman is in some ways the villain of this movie, but later clarifies that by stating that who fans side with when the heroes meet in battle will ultimately come down to their own perceptions. "It's a point of view thing. That is why Dawn of Justice is the full title. What it does is allow us to start this conversation." Don't go thinking that the Dark Knight isn't a hero though. The magazine reveals that Batman does indeed have history with The Joker and Harley Quinn, and indeed all of the criminals in Belle Reve who will ultimately make up Task Force X in Suicide Squad. Batman is responsible for putting them all in there. What do you guys think?

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=123366Zack Snyder Reveals New JUSTICE LEAGUE Details And How The Solo Movies All Connect
Warner Bros. are taking a very different approach to their Cinematic Universe (or "Extended Universe" as they're calling it) than Marvel, with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League introducing the heroes before their origin stories are presumably told in solo outings which are going to follow those movies. It all begins with Batman v Superman next year though. "What we are doing is ground up all the way. It is one giant story," director Zack Snyder explains. "The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. That is our Wonder Woman, our Aquaman. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes."
That won't restrict those in charge of the other heroes too much as the director goes on to explain that the other filmmakers contributing to the DC Extended Universe will have complete creative freedom, albeit with him keeping a very close eye on them. "I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like minded conceptual jumping on points." Snyder wasn't willing to get into specifics, but he did tease what the magazine describes as an "elusive" cameo for Aquaman in Dawn of Justice by promising only that, "You will understand he exists."
Now, many fans have accused Warner Bros. of not having any sort of plan, but the magazine was lucky enough to see a board which maps out how and where the movies take place in the DC Extended Universe and how they all link up to wach other. Producer Deborah Snyder describes that as, "Kind of a timeline of what every movie is, where it is going, and where the films fit in relation to each other." Fellow producer Charles Roven meanwhile went into even further details about how they're ensuring that these movies all exist in the same world while not restricting their directors and writers too much. "We call it the sandbox. It has borders around it, but everybody gets to play in the sandbox. On Suicide Squad, David Ayer has a lot of specific control over his area of the sandbox. Even if he crosses the line a little bit, we see if we can push our boundaries back a little bit." With Justice League set to start shooting next Spring, expect to hear more soon!

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=123367Zack Snyder Talks Reluctance To Make A Solo BATMAN Movie And Marvel v DC Rivalry
Zack Snyder could have done anything he wanted in the DC Extended Universe after Man of Steel was released. With Warner Bros. turning to him for assistance in creating this world, the filmmaker could have jumped straight into a Superman sequel, the Justice League, or even a Batman movie for that matter. However, it turns out that he's quite relieved to just have the Caped Crusader as a co-star in next year's Dawn of Justice. "If it was a Batman movie it would be a much more difficult proposition because of how good Chris' movies are. We live in gratiitude to those movies. Chris set a tone for the DC Universe, and separated us from Marvel in a great way. We are the legacy pf those movies." The pressure is obviously on Ben Affleck and Geoff Johns to deliver now then.
As for the rivalry between Marvel and DC, it turns out that it doesn't really exist. Snyder says that's down to just how different they ultimately are. "Right from the beginning it is different tonally from where those movies are. You know, DC is an ancient world in a lot of ways." That's a point reiterated by producer Deborah Snyder, as she praised Marvel but emphasised the fact that these worlds are tonally very, very different. "I can see how people would want to make it this big, intnse rivalry. Listen, they are so great. I loved Guardians of the Galaxy...our films are a bit more serious. They deal with things that are a little darker. Things that place them in our world."

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=123371BATMAN v SUPERMAN: Surprising Details About 'Bruce Wayne' And 'Clark Kent''s Living Conditions
In the Comic-Con trailer for Batman v Superman, we saw Wayne Manor in ruins. The Batcave however could still be seen in good condition, but where Bruce Wayne actually calls home is hard to say. Well, those reports about him living in a house away from the mansion were correct as production designer Patrick Tatopoulos has confirmed that his new premises is set next to an idyllic lakeside and known as the Glasshouse. "Its footprint is minima, it is part of nature," he says. "You are designing a house that would have been designed by van der Rohe, how ballsy is that?"
So, there go stupid fan theories that Bruce is going to be living either in the Batcave or like some sort of hobo in the ruins of his old home. "Bruce is the Bruce Wayne you know. He's a playboy, he's got money," Tatopoulos confirms. "He has this strength, but also an artistic sensibility. He's got a past, a family who got hm where he is today." Empire also has details on where Clark Kent and Lex Luthor will be calling home in this movie too. Clark is now living with Lois Lane in their own apartment (clearly their relationship has progressed a fair bit since Man of Steel then), while the interior of Lex's house was shot in a Detroit museum, but we never get to see his bedroom. Why is that significant? "Everything is a facade. You have no access to what is inside Lex."
Oh, and it sounds like we should definitely expect very stylised versions of both Metropolis and Gotham in Batman v Superman as the sister cities will be portrayed in very different ways. "There are other things happening too. Gotham is a very different city from Metropolis. Metropolis is Toronto on Steroids. Gotham is Detroit." What do you guys think about these latest details?

I think their Universe will be better than Marvels. Sounds like itll be more connected. With Marvel its more like its hinted, you won't see the big hitters in each others films other than an after credits scene.
Plus the directors can take chances and liberties that Marvel wont allow. Its not a knock but you can start to see the differences in how they operate.
Batman looking up at Superman destroy Metropolis and how they have it synced up is dope. Its nothing wrong with how Marvel is doing it though. I appreciate both.

A little off topic and I don't know where else to post this. I bought superman 2 the Richard donner cut from the ps store yesterday. its a more mature version than the original. its the version the original director wanted to be released but couldn't because some scenes were to how should I say hard for the general audience.
theres no bullshit powers superman didn't have like teleporting telekinesis or no throwing of the cellophane s of his chest. 60% of the movie is never before seen footage and dialogue. its a different take on the film.
theres more dialogue between clark and jor-el in the fortress of solitude and the education crystals show more of general zod and the criminals from crypton its was like something out of a comic book. the writing is more mature. in this version superman sleeps with lois before deciding to give up his powers and become human. the morning after they smash superman is arguing with jor- el about losing his powers and lois is seen in the backround with nothing but supermans shirt on lol.
the three criminals from crypton are more ruthless and hardended at the white house scene zod picks up
an m-16 from a fallen soldier and proceeds to open fire on the rest of the platoon. the fight scene at metropolis
was done much better and superman actually throws a powerful punch. I forgot to mention the show more how superman gets his powers back. what made the movie even better is theres no magical kiss that makes lois forgets she knows supermans secret identity but dammit superman flys around the world at high speed and reverses time. well I guess they had to do that if there were gonna be sequels and in the 80's lois never knew his identity whatever.
I wish this was the finalized version it would've been a true classic. sorry if this is hard to read. I had to do it like this or it would have been a wall of text.

If Jena Malone really is gonna be Barbara Gordon there's a good chance she might get oracled since they already cast Joker but then the only problem with that is Commissioner Gordon being dead so there's no point to shooting Babs besides hurting Batman.
