Following the movie's opening titles sequence, Zack Snyder revisits Man of Steel's Metropolis incident, this time from the perspective of Bruce Wayne, who heads to the city to try and help out.

He frantically drives around Metropolis, attempting to reach his employees all while the city is absolutely decimated around him, but just as he arrives, the Wayne Enterprises building is destroyed as Superman and Zod continue to battle one another.

Bruce then heads into the rubble and saves a young girl from being crushed by falling debris, and embraces her as the Zod-Supes fight continues.

This wonderful opening typifies that Batman v Superman is an extremely muddled, messy movie with a handful of incredibly cool moments. The scene did a fantastic job building up why Bruce would have it out for Superman, but sadly the rest of the character motivations didn't manage to be anywhere near as convincing.
