I've been rewriting BvS in my spare time for fun. This is the 1st 20 minutes of the film. Let me know what you think and if you want to read more.
Opening 20 Minutes:
We start with the Knightmare sequence, mostly unchanged. Only the opening logos are reminiscent of Max Max Fury Road’s dirty, decayed sand opening logos. It plays out the same until the captured Batman part. Just as Supes is about to kill him, an alarm goes off. He leaves to check it out. Aquaman busts through a wall and kills the guards. He frees Batman and they leave the cell. Outside we see that Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and Green Lantern are distracting Supes.
Back inside, Bats and Aquaman are killing guards left and right. Yes, Batman is killing in the future because of the destruction of the world. During this time, Bats finds a small kryptonite dagger. They enter another cell, but this one is more high tech. A blur is speeding around in a circle in a high-tech looking cage. This is obviously the Flash. Batman is able to unlock the cage. He tells Flash he has to travel back and stop what’s coming.
Back outside, Cyborg is using ear piercing soundwaves to weaken Supes, TDKR style. He manages to overcome them and heat visions Cyborg to death. Green Lantern isn’t strong enough to take him on. Supes takes his ring off and drops him from the sky. Wonder Woman puts up a valiant fight, but is also killed via snapped neck.
Batman, Flash, and Aquaman have escaped the base. Supes sees them and attacks. Aquaman holds him off while Batman orders Flash to run the absolute fastest he can. He starts to run, but is weak from his time in the cell so he’s slower than usual. Bats gets the kryptonite dagger out. Aquaman is killed. Supes sees the dagger and blasts heat ray from a distance while Bats has his back turned. We get a slow motion scene of the ray piercing Bats across his chest.
Flash has a head start, until Supes explodes towards him, flying as fast as he can. The adrenaline kicks in and Flash is running faster. This is an incredibly heart pounding, tense scene as Supes is trying to grab Flash. He can’t hit him with heat vision. Supes is inches away from grabbing him when Flash kicks it into next gear. Moving so fast that he disappears in a bright light. We don’t see where he went. Supes is left bewildered.
We cut to a bright light that reads: 2 YEARS EARLIER: THE DAY SUPERMAN WAS INTRODUCED TO THE WORLD. Yeah that’s right. That was the future.
The Bruce in Metropolis scene is exactly the same, unchanged. Instead though, as he holds the little girl, we pan up and see the destruction of Metropolis in its glory. We see the ash, smoke, fire, and ruins. Then we pan up to the sky and fade to black and read the title: BATMAN v. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE.
The following scene is the montage of Superman saving people as the media questions whether or not he should be here. Except, we actually see Superman SMILING and HAPPY that he’s saving people. It’s a total contrast of what we’ve seen in the first 15 minutes. Superman is a total good guy!
