I think you're rather overstating the problem here. There's no reason to rehash Batman's origin story yet again, and I doubt they'll do that -- probably just a flashback to the Waynes getting shot at an emotionally correct moment, I think. As for the rest of Batman's history, it's pretty quick to get out there -- some kind of "remember of the cost of being Batman" line from Alfred with a shot of Bruce looking at Robin's disfigured costume is enough to convey that Robin died, for instance. No need to get into the details -- more mystery, less history.
As for Wonder Woman, I don't think we'll get any story there at all. I expect we'll have an "outsider" perspective of Wonder Woman -- she just shows up out of nowhere and nobody knows who she is and where she comes from, and it won't be explored. She'll be all questions, to be answered in the forthcoming movie. And Doomsday is hopefully going to be the villain for the next one, and only set up at the end of this one.
Don't get me wrong, the movie can still be terrible, and the "our hand really sucks" marketing campaign worries me, but overcrowding at least doesn't seem like its going to be an issue.
