I wouldn't be surprised. At that point Man of Steel was a hit so a BVS movie was uber hyped. Perhaps Marvel did change their plans

The Serpent Society title was a swerve so people wouldn’t know they were doing Civil War. Since Civil War was a major crossover from the comics, they always had a plan to adapt it at some point. Marvel was already making bank before the DCCU got off the ground. They didn’t need to steal any ideas.

Besides, Civil War and BvS are nothing alike. And considering the Civil War comic had been out for years and there was never a Batman V Superman comic, it would mean DC was copying Marvel anyway.

they're exactly alike, except BvS was better.
Captain America vs. Iron Man. (Red/white/blue boy scout against eccentric billionaire crime fighter)
Superman vs. Batman (Red/yellow/blue boy scout against eccentric billionaire crime fighter. He even wore an iron suit.)

So you're saying that in 1941, Marvel ripped off Superman by creating Captain America and your proof is that a guy named Captain AMERICA has the colors of the American flag which just so happens to share two of the same colors in Superman's costume. Additionally, when they created Iron Man in 1962, they knew that twenty years later, Batman would wear a suit of armor in Frank Miller's "Dark Knight Returns", so they had to beat them to the punch. This was all in hopes that several decades later, Marvel Comics would publish the Civil War storyline pitting Cap and Iron Man against one another so that about a decade later, they could turn that storyline into a movie in hopes that Dc would be presenting a Batman v Superman movie. This is the argument you're making?

BvS was way better than Civil War.
Batman had homicidal intent in his fight against Superman.
Captain America was telling Spiderman to stay down.

I like all the Marvel movies, but Snyder's DC movies are amazing. The best superhero fights ever put on film (Superman vs. Kryptonians in Smallville, Superman vs. Zod in Metropolis, Superman vs. Batman, Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday).
