That'd be pretty great. And you could even have Alfred directly contact Superman for help, which would actually give Superman motivation for fighting Batman besides "I hate you for literally doing exactly what I do but on a smaller scale". But when he attempts to convince Batman to retire and leave this life behind (I imagine he'd still say his "the bat is dead" line, but he sounds more sincere than threatening), Bruce is convinced that Superman is the one trying to frame him.

This is much truer to what makes Batman and Superman great, and what a Batman/Superman movie should have been. Since Zack Snyder was trying to make Superman another Dark Knight wannabe, he tried too hard to make Superman and Batman similar, but a real Batman/Superman film should have been a celebration of how they were different.

Superman is the bright and optimistic symbol of hope while Batman is the dark and pessimistic symbol of fear. Yin and yang. And this should have been perfect for conflict. Superman selflessly trying to help Batman while Batman's paranoia prevents him from accepting it.

Why was this not the film?
