Having said that, I very much adopt the Nolan doctrine (and apparently Snyder too) that each superhero should occupy their own universe. It's great that it works for Marvel, but I'd still very much prefer that there is no cinematic universe; at lease not yet. I'd want Superman to stand on his own and to see Snyder and Cavill build a great Superman series like Nolan, Goyer and Bale did. Ditto for any other creative teams out there who will tackle other projects.
I think this is actually how the studio is going about their superhero franchises. Every time I've heard interviewers mention the success of the Marvel films to any Warners/DC executives, they've replied that their characters are "bigger" and able to sustain themselves on their own.

Well, you can say that DC, but it only works when you have filmmakers who have a good story to work with. That is why the recent Batman movies have been amazing and Green Lantern was...well, not.
