Yeah, adding Spiderman may have been a poor choice on my list, though admittedly, I feel the character owes much of its renown to Japan having taken his webs for a spin.

As for Marvel having more known characters, you're right again. But I find it more likely that anyone can easily name the origins, aliases, and enemies of characters like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman than even the most well-known Marvel characters. Not that this is even the point. (the point is that more people will instantly know that Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman being in the same movie is a fucking big deal ;) )

The one questionable character BvS has claimed to be introducing is Cyborg. I can't see Cyborg as being anything more than a bit player in this movie. Similar to the animated War, he will definitely feel shoehorned.

The plan seems to be to introduce the major players of the Justice League and then release a Justice League movie within a couple years, then they can backtrack and release movies about Batman (again), Woman Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg (or the Titans, whatever)… and Superman (again… maybe). And they could probably pull it off if BvS works.

@HS: Are you saying that because Snyder took a chance with Superman killing Zod (which blew up in his face)? We don't really have enough to go on at this point. We don't know that, purely because of the presence of Batman (and the prior movie's poorly-executed cinematography) that BvS (I keep wanting to say Beevis) will be a dark/gritty movie.
