I don't think they're rushing the Man of Steel sequel per se, three years between movies sounds about right. What they are rushing, however, is a Justice League. Not that I'm against the concept itself, but if they want to make a Justice League movie they should just make a Justice League and not make that the Man of Steel sequel. Because in their hurry to get the Justice League on the big screen, they're doing their characters a disservice; possibly sidelining Superman, rebooting Batman in less time they'd make a sequel, and rounding out the rest of the cast with a bunch of minor or unknown actors who won't be able to hold down their own solo franchises. Not to mention that they haven't really won the moviegoing audience's trust yet. They don't need to follow Marvel's formula to the tee, but they at least spent the years leading up to The Avengers proving to audiences they can do their characters justice. Everyone loves the first two Dark Knight movies, the reception to TDKR and MoS are divisive as all could be, and everything else DC's put out in recent memory has been resoundingly rejected. And if the reactions to their casting choices are any indication, their Justice League may not be as warmly received as they expect.
