The film was announced at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con International, after the release of Man of Steel. Snyder stated that the film would take inspiration from the Batman comic book series The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller, but clarified that it would follow an original premise. The incarnation of Batman in the film would also be different than the character’s portrayal in the previous Batman film trilogy, serving as a cinematic reboot of the character. The film is also inspired by narrative elements from the “Death of Superman” story arc. Pre-production began at East Los Angeles College in October 2013, with principal photography starting in May 2014 in Detroit, Michigan. Additional filming also took place in Chicago.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiered at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City on March 19, 2016. It was released in the United States on March 25, 2016, in 2D, 3D, IMAX 3D, 4DX, premium large formats and 70 mm prints. Following a strong debut that set new box office records, the film experienced a “historic drop” in its second weekend and never recovered.[5][6] Despite turning a profit, it was deemed a box office disappointment and received generally negative reviews from critics.[7][8][9][10]
