No, it's more like adding a new Spider-Man into X2, and being able to branch out from there. The audience knows who Batman is. They understand the implications of Batman and Superman appearing in a movie together.

Besides, if you're considering Batman to be the main focus, then why are you still considering it as a Superman film? What if it was the Incredible Hulk to DC's Iron Man (but with Superman as a leading role instead of a cameo).

They'll make a proper Man of Steel sequel eventually... Right now, they want to lead up to Justice League, so this is a smart move.
