Synopsis:

After Superman's battle with Zod devastated the city of Metropolis, Bruce Wayne is now convinced he is a threat to humanity and embarks on a vendetta to end his reign on earth.

Intentions:

To create a more streamlined Batman film out of the original film.

Change List:

Changelist: Added new title card "Batman: Knight of Justice". Cut Finding of Kryptonite in Indian Ocean. Cut Nairomi desert sequence. Cut Nairomian woman Kahina falsely testifying against Superman. Trimmed police officers watching the football. Cut Lois lamenting in her apartment about Nairomi and discovering the bullet. Cut Clark & Lois bathroom scene. Cut Lex's introduction & the meta-human thesis. (We're introduced to him at the Gala) Cut Clark frying fake eggs and watching Kahina give an interview. Cut around Clark asking the tenant "is she home?" and her replying "She been Gone". Now he just knocks and the old man asks "What she do officer?" this illustrates that Clark was just doing some investigating reporting (his job) and not looking to meet kahina. Cut Clark / Perry Daily planet "Water Wet" scene and Lois on her way to leave for DC. Trimmed shot of Bruce walking towards his parents tomb. Now it begins with him opening the door akin to the Knightmare scene after cloning Knyazev's phone. Moved Clark researching the Bat Band online to before the Gala so it makes sense when he says "I've seen it Mr Wayne, he thinks he's above the law" (Now he's actually seen it) Cut "Should there be a Superman" sequence & him saving people. Cut Clark calling his mother. Cut Lois researching the odd duck bullet. Cut Lois talking to Secretary Swanwick in the bathroom. Cut Clark / Perry Daily planet "Apples don't cost a nickel" scene. Cut Jon Stewart. Trimmed Beginning of dinner party with the waiter. Moved Lex and finch talking in his office between Bruce de-crypting the files and Clark receiving the Bat Band mail. Cut Knightmare sequence. Cut Flash Cameo. Cut Clark going to Gotham again to talk to Santos' baby mama. He's already seen the Polaroids, he doesn't need convincing from the girlfriend of a s*x/human trafficker. Cut Lois meeting Secretary Swanwick in the rain. Cut Senator June holding a press conference for the capitol hearing. Cut Lois meeting Secretary Swanwick for a third time. Cut Kahina on the bus seeing Knyazev. Cut Kahina insisting she meet the senator. Cut Lois calling Perry about the bullet. Trimmed Bruce receiving the intercepted checks from Lex. Now it's just implied Wallace was sending them back out of a sense of despair and anger for what he happened to him. And what he really wanted was revenge on Superman. Trimmed Bruce opening the letter and seeing "you let your family die!" now he just stares at the screen in disbelief. Lex no longer sends anything to him. The idea that Bruce got hints about things from Lex is pointless. Batman is a detective and he can figure out all his stuff on his own. He doesn't need more motivation to go after Superman. Cut Kahina killed in the subway. Cut Superman helping after the bomb goes off. Lex working on Zod is placed after the bombing. All scenes where Lex is visiting and working on the ship from earlier are now spliced together here. (Mercy Graves Cut.) Cut Lois, Jenny and Perry wondering where's Superman. Cut the news and people's reaction to superman disappearance. Cut Clark and Martha farm conversation. Cut Clark going to the mountain and talking to his dad. Moved Bruce training and making the kryptonite weapons to after he and Alfred talk at Wayne manor Cut Bruce opening the Meta Human file and discovering who Diana is. Cut Martha being kidnapped. We now find out she got kidnapped the same time Clark does. Trimmed some dialogue between both Lex and Lois, and Lex and Superman on the rooftop for narrative purposes. Cut Diana walking into the hotel lobby. Trimmed Diana reading Bruce Wayne's now she shut's her laptop before setting up a Justice League movie. Cut all the military scenes with Swanwick during the Doomsday fight. Cut all The Daily planet scenes during Doomsday fight. Cut the nuke being sent to kill doomsday, including Superman dying in space. Doomsday now just evolves from being angry about planes shooting at him. This is to focus more on Batman. Cut Diana leaving the plane so as to surprise us when she actually does show up. Superman's funeral is shortened and condensed to focus more on Bruce. The movie ends after the cops raid Lex's home panning up to the painting.
