This quote... while probably true... perplexes me a tad bit.
The solo Marvel films made the anticipation level rise for me towards a group Avengers film.
While I'm sure fan anticipation for Dawn of Justice will be high... all of Marvel's end credit scenes, cameos and interweaving of plotlines made me REALLY want to see Avengers
None of this matters though... I will still be at theater opening weekend for this

I think why that point is important is due to DC/Warner dropping the ball over the years. Where there should have been a creative roadmap piecing together the DC Universe across Batman Begings, Superman Returns and Green Lantern, each was released as a standalone production with no scheme tied to the bigger comic book world.
Now that Warner finally realized from Marvel's success what they missed out on, it would take years to release each of those individual character movies building up to Justice League. So not a bad idea to just go for broke, and buildup the excitement within two movies ('Man of Steel' and then 'Batman v Superman'), and get things back on track. It is a bummer though the next movie is still two years away. That is a lot of viewership time lost.
that would be true that WB drop the ball but that's because their old CEO didn't think their was profit in comic book movies. look what the new CEO has done in such a short of time with DCE/DC Comics we starting to see a side that is not scared bring characters into the big screen or small screen. WB/DC can do a different roadmap and not copy Marvel hell look at the original star wars movies we got three movies with multiple characters and we didn't need solo movies for them, same goes for Harry Potter & LOTR movies.
