## 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. Snyder said that the movie would take inspiration from the comic *The Dark Knight Returns*. In August 2013, Ben Affleck was announced to be playing Batman. Gal Gadot was cast as Wonder Woman in December 2013. Later in December, *Argo* screenwriter Chris Terrio was hired to rewrite the script, due to Goyer's commitments in other projects.

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

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.
