Background

The success of Man of Steel made Warner Bros. plans of a cinematic universe featuring other DC Comics characters. In June 2013, it was announced that director Zack Snyder and screenwriter David S. Goyer would both be returning for a Man of Steel sequel, which is being fast tracked by Warner Bros. Goyer had previously signed a three-movie deal, which includes Man of Steel, its sequel, and a Justice League movie featuring Superman. The following month, Snyder confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con International that the sequel to Man of Steel would have Superman and Batman meeting for the first time in a movie.

Cavill, Adams, Lane, and Fishburne will repeat their roles.[8][39] Snyder said that the movie would take inspiration from the comic The Dark Knight Returns.[40] In August 2013, Ben Affleck was announced to be playing Batman.[41] Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman in December 2013.[42] Later in December, Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio was hired to rewrite the script, due to Goyer's commitments in other projects.[43]

In January 2014, it was announced that the movie had been delayed from its original July 17, 2015 release date to May 6, 2016,[44] and in May 2014, the movie's title was revealed to be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.[45] The date was moved again to March 25, 2016.[46]

Pre-production began at East Los Angeles College in October 2013, with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit, Michigan and in Chicago, Illinois.

With a production budget of $410 million, Batman v Superman is the most expensive film ever made at the time of its release, even after adjusting for inflation.[47]

Filming

Filming began in 2013. Shooting locations were in Detroit, Michigan, Los Angeles, California, and Chicago, Illinois.
