What happened to Wayne manor? Yet the cave is there?
I can't believe you people are stuck on this.
Why was Martha Kent working at a job? What led to this? Why didn't we get a Martha Kent movie showing us the progression?
Wayne Manor is in ruins. It's shorthand for "time has moved on and Batman has had a tough life".
And that the entrance to the Batcave was the best ever. If anyone has a problem with that, they're on crack.
And a side note... VERY glad that we didn't have an extended "LOOK AT THE BATMOBILE" and "HERE'S THE BATWING" moment. The vehicles just show up and we go with it.

Ok...let's take a step back for a second, because I'm genuinely curious as to your take on this whole idea.
If the idea with MoS was to evetually bring together everyone into the Justice League to then compete with Marvel's MCU, can you explain the rationale of having a middle aged Batman whose had a tough life and is now killing random thugs? I get that it can be argued that such a universe COULD exist given such and such...but what's the point of having THAT be the starting point for DC here? It doesn't have to be Year One Batman, but wouldn't you want a Batman in Clark's age bracket? One with an actual Wayne Manor? In short...all those things people already associate with the JL Bats?
Even way back when the idea of mirroring Dark Knight Returns with a middle aged Bats I was hesitant for this very reason. Not that I don't like THAT story, but that it seems like an arse backwards place to start...does it not?
This entire thing could not have been simpler, and yet whoever is to blame (DC, WB, Snyder, Goyer, Geoff Johns, etc) seem hellbent on making a cakewalk a death march...all for the sake of, I don't know...being different?
