The satellite they thrashed had the name "Wayne" on it, just like they had Luthor Corps on the trucks. They must have had something in mind.
Yeeeeah, but I'd put an easter egg like that on the same level as Adam Warlock's cocoon appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't really expect him to show up in a future film, since Vision kinda fills his role, but it was a nice little reference.
Or y'know, the Blaze Comics sign was in Man of Steel. Where's Booster Gold in BvS? He got the same amount of setup as Batman! ;P
(I guess there's still time for them to cram him the fuck in there along with everyone else...)

No
The fight killed the mugger bruce hired to kill his parents and he totally can't get his deposit back from rent-a-thug so he's super pissed. Also; his parents are allliiiiivvvveeee![/
If the whole movie is about backlash against Superman and his actions in the last movie then I'm curious why there's even a statue of him in the first place.
So it could dramatically be painted 'Who Watches the Watchmen?' 'False God'

Since this is basically The Dark Knight Returns: The Motion Picture, it will be Carrie Kelley.
If the army can't stop an alien monster on the way into Metropolis, I'm sure they'd evacuate the city.
All buildings were empty. That subway train was empty. All those people in the streets were androids.
The people in the streets were the staff of the daily planet, who specifically refused to evacuate with everyone else. We know this because there was this scene in he daily planet building with fishbbourne et al where they explicitly told it to our faces.

Actually, that was Snyder's attempt to put an emotional face on the danger but failing because Jenny Olson had exactly ten seconds of previous screen time.

Well...not that I've got a dog in this fight either way, but I could conjure up a few reasons someone might set up a Superman statue.
Hell, I could easily imagine Luthor making an 'anonymous donation' of the statue to aggravate the issue and use it make people hate Superman more.

Regardless, saying "all those people" is dumb because they flat out told you to your face that the city evacuated.

Though in movies, you're supposed to show, not tell.
They also showed. They go through the buildings and no one is in them. There are scenes in the offices which are empty.
Which isn't the same as showing at least brief scenes where people go through rushed evacuations. I gave MoS my full attention, but after the Metropolis battle my feeling was "did I just watch the implied deaths of hundreds of thousands of people?"
Meanwhile, the latest Avengers spent like a quarter of the movie showing people getting evacuated.
Edit: Also, if the city was evacuated, how did Zod manage to find those people to threaten? They were just standing around, they didn't seem like they were trying to get the hell out of Dodge.

It was a train station. They were waiting for the next train to evacuate.
Literally 4 people in grand central station and you're like "oh my goodness the city is full of people!"
They're not going to show Metropolis streets filled with corpses in a Superman movie.
And because they didn't we clearly know it was filled with them?
Edit: I mean sure they didn't go out of their way to show that the people shooting at the hulk didn't die or that the people whose car the hulk ripped in half with them inside it and then pounded on didn't die. But they shouldn't have to. They didn't in superman v doomsday. They didn't in superman v thanos in TAS. They did more to establish an empty city in MoS than in any other superman feature or animated show ever.
I'm okay if hundreds of people got killed off in MoS, why, BECAUSE ITS A MOVIE. It sets a narrative going forward that when you get two Alpha level beings fighting, that there is going to be considerable damage, and that not everyone is going to live. Plus, I think that Zod at that point was like a raging bull, he just wanted to destroy everything. He wasn't going to just let Superman toss him outside of the city, he would actively be trying to fight back.
I think that if we had gotten some closure at the end of the movie, instead of that stupid military spy crap, I don't think that people would have been freaking out that much. A small scene with Superman surveying the enormity of the damage, and reacting to it would have been so much better.

We didn't see every inch of Metropolis and there was debris everywhere. In the start of the anti-gravity attack we see hundreds of people and cars in traffic getting lifted into the air then fall repeatedly - where did their corpses go?

The fight scenes with those characters are shown to be very dangerous, and that every life nearby is in danger and it is implied the police in that car Hulk ripped up died. Marvel didn't shy away from that completely, despite having that same limitation. That's why their movies put effort in their heroes protecting civilians, they openly acknowledge how dangerous the situation is - MOS didn't. Are you comparing live action movies to cartoons? Different standards, bro. MOS didn't do as much as any Superman production. Have you forgotten "Clash" where Superman fought Captain Marvel in Luthor's empty city?
Superman's previous movies had him protect civilians, and when they fought he wasn't in a life and death struggle in MOS slamming into buildings in brawls.
It's laughable how Thor is better at protecting civilians in the MCU then Superman is in MOS. And Iron Man.
You mean when superman was on the other side of the world?
I wasn't blaming Superman for those deaths, I was explaining that even if he did everything right there'd be mass casualties in Metropolis. And yet despite what we saw on screen we never see the consequences in the aftermath. They're not even mentioned by anyone. Because they're not going to show corpses in a Superman movie.

Zodd was pissed enough at supes that he would have run to the moon to fight him if that's where clark had decided to take it.

They're slaves to the whims of the writer and director. If Snyder and Goyer wanted another solution to Zod they'd have written it. They didn't.

Avengers did 3 great things to allow them to show otherwise wanton destruction.
1: Cap's spiel where he "calls it" and lays down the game plan. The section of the city they're in is probably a lost cause, so keep the fight there. I particularly like Iron Man's orders. "Anything gets more than 3 blocks out, you turn it back or you turn it to ash."
2: Cap again with him giving the police orders on how best to evacuate everybody.
3: Brief shots here and there of people getting the fuck out.
And boom. You just justified being able to show your heroes smacking shit through buildings all you want.
"The sausage of Green Earth explodes with flavor like the cannon of culinary delight."
It was probably inevitable, but man. Couldn't we have spaced SS out from BvS by a few movies so that would be an awesome reveal?
I'm willing to bet that the movie opens with Batman going after Joker and but only getting Harley. I wonder of they'll write Batman out or if he just fucks off.

Depends on the Robin.
Dick's parents were killed as part of his origin.
Tim's parents were killed (seperately) after he became Robin.
Jason's parents abandoned him, but his mother never died, I think.
Stephanie's Dad is dead, but her mother is still alive, at least Pre-Nu52. No idea how either of them shook out as a part of that.
Carrie's parents... I have no idea.
