If you go on this news story and look at the chart labelled US debut for superheros, and you will notice MOS was number 1 over everything, which was a good sign going into a sequel.
I don't doubt the report is probably true because WB is all about their rushed shared universe and Batman.

It started out that way but when you have people who love Batman more than Superman handling the movie, it's not surprising that the supposed main character gets pushed aside.

Speaking of totally played out, fucking Batman.

I don't agree with Batman being played out necessarily but I think a lot of how DC/Warner have crafted their universe to fit along the tone of the Nolan trilogy has been a mistake since day one and I love those films. It just seems like they're catering too much to the Batman universe to make everything else work within those confines. Man of Steel suffered from it and I have to believe that the other characters will to some extent as well.

With some of the decisions made so far I honestly wouldn't be surprised though. The important factor to DC/Warner seems to be establishing their universe just enough so that they can squeeze out Justice League films. I question how much planning they've actually done and what will be thrown out the window the second something isn't as successful as they want it to be.

Maybe WB is realizing that Henry Cavill was a casting misfire (their second one after Brandon Routh) and don't want to put him at the centre of their franchise. Because he's playing Superman, he has to be a major player in JLA movies, but they may be hoping that the presence of all the other superheroes will...dilute him a bit.

I don't know about you, but when I think of Superman, that's not how his face looks like. And based on the latest BvS trailer, we're getting more of the same.

I've seen him in other projects and I just don't think he's a very good actor and he comes off as very boring in interviews too. I'll grant you that he looks perfect for the part and his American accent is pretty good, but he just doesn't bring the charisma required for the role (see Reeve, Christopher).

I think Cavill has a good look and was decent as Superman for what the film called for. I really don't mind him in the role I guess.

Cavill is no RDJ, but he handled himself well enough in MoS.

Batman vs Superman looks to be the sequel. It's right after the events of MOS. It's the reason why Batman wants to kick his ass.
I think the next Superman will be after the events of BvS.

I hope this rumor turns out false and WB is planning another Super-Man movie. I really liked how Man of Steel moved away from the comic book roots of the character in spirit, tone, and characterization.

Not really. There's a lot of Superman there, whatever that is that you consider him, it's just that the writing doesn't justify it very well.
