No. 38462
I have some problems with MoS (didn't hate the movie, though) but I must say that it's one hell of a setup for the sequels . It would be nice to see Superman slowly building a reputation and making people feel safe and trusting him, not being accepted right off the bat as Earth's protector.
In the context of the events of the first movie, it would make perfect sense that somebody like Batman would be suspcious, if not downright hostile, towards Superman. If by the end of the movie Superman manages to gain Batman's trust (probably by giviing Bats a way to stop him like in the comics, IIRC there is word of god confirmation that Kryptonite does exist in this continuity), then that would feel like a pretty damn great victory.
Plus... dang, Lex flippin' Luthor. This is the perfect setup for the Luthor we always wanted but were always denied in the films. Not a crazy criminal but a powerful man of of immense charisma, rebuilding Metropolis from the rubble, seen as the common man's savior. I want to see Luthor publicly antagonizing Superman, rallying people against him, sowing fear and distrust, and in private laughing at Superman's face, using not Kryptonite as a shield but the simple knowledge that he does know that Superman is a good guy and can't act against him.
What I want to say, is that depending how the story is developed from the foundation laid by MoS, that could improve my general opinion about the movie.
