Yeah, the Batman/Superman movie is Man of Steel 2. With Batman. It's still the sequel to MOS.
They used this line from Returns:
To introduce the announcement, giving off the implication that some inspiration might come from Returns

The movie will almost certainly have a Let's You and Him Fight sequence, followed by the realization that they're both Working the Same Case. It's a trope as old as comics themselves. Even Whedon realized the big, dumb appeal of "Tee-hee, let's have Thor punch out Iron Man!" in the Avengers.

I predict the following:
Luthor is up to something and is trying to form some kind of partnership with Wayne Industries. Bruce doesn't trust him so he goes undercover as Batman to investigate what he's up to. Superman is also investigating and the two attack each other because they think the other is working for Luthor. Eventually they realize they're on the same side and team up to take him down. Following this they part ways but Batman devises a way for them to contact each other if there's ever trouble. We then see Batman studying up on some of the heroes that are popping up like Flash (whose movie takes place around the same time in Universe), Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern while Superman gets some kind of indication that Darkseid is setting his sights on Earth.

"Undercover as Batman", huh?
Now I'm picturing Bruce Wayne dressed up as Batman wearing a Ninja Turtles-style fedora and Conspicuous Trench Coat.
And let us pray that come it may (As come it will for a' that)(Depending on the Writer) Bruce Wayne doesn't dress up as Batman; Batman dresses up as Bruce Wayne.
That being said, I wonder if they will have a new Bruce Wayne/Batman in the film or if Joseph Gordon Levitt will be Robin!Batman.
One thing that would make an adaptation of the comic's showdown hard to work is that there (so far) is no such thing as Kryptonite in the MOS verse.

Edit, edit, edit, edit the wikiThey've already said countless times that the Nolanverse won't be connected to this new DCCU. Let the meme die people.
I wasn't aware there had been such a statement.
In that case, I wonder how they will set up Batman, since he wasn't mentioned in MOS (although Bruce Wayne indirectly was).
Edit, edit, edit, edit the wikiWord of God has said Kryptonite does exist in the new movieverse, it's just we haven't seen it yet.
