Similar to yours, in The Matrix the computers are the good guys. The humans and the computers share a special synergy, but at first humanity resisted the paradise they were given. To counteract and keep the humans safe, a second matrix was created to mimic real life and protect it's inhabitants, not enslave them. It's also worth pointing out that in the original script people were used as extra computing power, not "batteries".
