Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice starts filming in Detroit (video – slideshow)
WASHINGTON, August 4, 2014 – With one holy-heck Batman title, Batman v. Superman Dawn of Justice is well underway filming in Detroit.
Bringing some much needed revenue to the city of Detroit, Dawn of Justice will shoot at Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac, Michigan, and on location in and around the beleaguered Motor City. Other locations for the film include Illinois, Africa and the South Pacific.

Detroit ABC-7 News released a brief snippet of footage from the skies over Detroit. The helicopter video shows a city in the throes of destruction with a crushed police car, smashed city bus, and a fallen Wayne Financial sign next to a demolished building.
As the police car and bus both say “Metropolis,” the city Clark Kent, aka, Superman calls home, we can take a hint as to at least one plot line from the upcoming movie.
