a little bit late to the party but istp can see manipulation from miles (i know it because i am one)
now the coment about the movie and how i see it:
the movie portrayed bruce as someone who was having nightmares, being paranoid about superman who was an alien with too much powers in his hands so ¿what's the conclusion?...this guy can't be good, he can't be helping people just because he's good, and maybe there's something more than we don't know (i am sure bruce has more profound thoughts about superman but lets leave it that way), we cannot trust an outsider (luthor says the same), the movie also remarks that we as human have really bad experiences following people with great power.
bruce wayne is also abusing drug, and mixing pills with alcohol, it's clear that he has pstd and this gets worse when he is haunt not only by th death of his parents but by jason todd's death. someone who suffers pstd can't see manipulation. bruce became obsessed with superman after the metropolis event... ¿why?...because he couldn't do anything to save his employess/the people that were in metropolis city, the idea of bruce as a character is that he always want to have everything under control and when he feels powerless he doesn't now how to process this events for happening. he can't accept that vulnerability. that's batman losing hope, not seeing the point of his actions anymore after 20 years of fighting criminals and crossing the line for his owns fears and paranoia.

bruce nightmare about superman is based on injustice when superman joins forces with darkside, it was an apocalitic world, so his actions didn't really matter anymore.
this leaves his actions in the warehouse as well, this batman does what is needs to be done to rescue clark's mother, and all of this is because of superman being still a treath but not totally evil, bruce doesn't trust clark but now he sees him in a diferent way, still he cannot trust him because there's a posibility of him becoming evil and bruce cannot ignore that. we return with the vision of bruce with a future were things are not the same anymore. you just have to remember the scene between bruce and barry allen (aka flash) when barry says that lois is the key and that batman should fear superman. what would happen if someone kills someone you love? with superman ''we don't know'' (yes we do, injustice god among us)
and if you are wondering ¿is this canon? i would say yes because the same thing happens in the comics, sure that batman and superman are good friends and all but batman doesn't trust superman and he actually doesn't trust anyone of the justice league.
