Maybe Starro attacks and Bam! The League!
If ten years of recording The Young and the Restless for my mother have taught me anything, it's that characters in serial dramas are always happily in love...until they're not

It reminds me of the main theme of Nolan's TDK: chaos.
At the beginning, mankind will fall into fanaticism instead of follow Superman's inspiration.
I expect Clark to says something like this (from 00:09 to 00:20): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2aRIg0i2qI

He said "Maybe." A word that, by definition, suggests a lack of certainty. The mere tone of his voice makes it clear he didn't really believe what he was saying.
Yes, in the real world, a human being might very well have a moment of doubt where he might think of his own son's safety, rather than the safety of a bunch of other kids. Thanks for making LoneNecromancer's point for him.
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

None of those options can happen because the League isn't formed in this movie. Wonder Woman plays a short, but important role, but the other League members are going to be cameos or absent entirely. The team won't form until the JL films proper.
If Diana resolves the conflict though, that would be amazing.
First, if you read my post you would have seen the word "might".
Second, if I made his point then his must have been the same as mine - that a human being with the power of a god is going to be tempted to use it.
And if you are not writing Superman as a human being, you are basically writing him as a cardboard cut-out.
What we may well see is a more violent version of Batman's rebutall of Superman and Wonder Woman's invasion of Khuraq from the Trinity War. Well intentioned by hamfisted.

A human being would also kill one man in order to stop him from killing billions of others. Just sayin'.
And, yes. Superman would be tempted to use his powers. That doesn't immediately translate to him becoming a monster. It also in no way proves your statement that Superman is the bad guy in this movie.

The title pretty much spells it out, which is why they use it in the legal sense. Batman is bringing a case or complaint against Superman. Batman is the complainant/plaintiff. Superman is the defendant.
I don't know why this is a debate; the result is a forgone conclusion. We know this will end with the foundation of the Justice League, which means Superman will prove to Batman that he is in the right.
Life is but a dream
I think that's Alfred admonishing Bruce about persuing Superman, likely using Luthor or other extreme anti-Superman sides as an example.
I think it would be neat if the second trailer is mirrored to Supes' POV. Open with a descending pan through Gotham City set to various pundits arguing about the activities of "the Batman," then a brief voiceover from Lois paraphrasing Alfred, then cut to Superman staring down at armored Batman, end on a one liner.
