No no no, Batman vs Superman should not have been based on anything remotely like Injustice. Injustice all follows from a corruption of Superman by the Joker. BvS is basically a sequel film in a Superman franchise. It's too early (albeit, the critical reception of BvS probably ended the MoS franchise) to have these characters be either corrupted (a la Superman TAS "Legacy" episodes) or encounter corrupted or evil counterparts (Justice Lords or Crime Syndicate, respectively). For the record, the story in Injustice is not even particularly new.

It'd be fine if BvS were written by a lover of Batman's brooding, dark, and paranoid elements, so that something like the events of Justice League: Doom occuring early in the timeline of the DC Cinematic Universe would be what had hit the screen. Alternatively (and what I'd prefer), it'd be nice if someone writing the franchise cared for the reputation Superman has acquired. What we got, however, was a movie that didn't even find it necessary to maintain the modern Batman mythos. That's possibly fine, as he is really quite over-worshipped, but with such writers and directors you can't expect the boy scout "Clark Kent" to see a fair treatment.
