Warner Bros. Studio has officially begun filming for "Batman vs. Superman" in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday with a college football game.
Gotham City University and Metropolis State University played against each other under Zack Snyder's direction at East Los Angeles College's Weingart Stadium. Before filming began, the production crew set up a stand to hand out Gotham City University and Metropolis State University apparel to the participating audience.
According to Batman News, filming was only supposed to take place during halftime, but Snyder told the audience to stick around in case they needed more footage. However, no additional scenes were filmed after the game.
Check out Batman News' description of the scene Warner Bros. filmed below:
"It started with Warner Bros. telling the crowd that they were going to be in 'Batman vs. Superman.' Yes, a Warner Bros. representative referred to the movie as 'Batman vs. Superman.' That's still not the official title, but it's one that keeps coming up. Warner Bros. also announced that this marked the beginning of the movie. Then two scenes were filmed.
"Both plays were from around Gotham city's 30 yard line. The first play was a tackle for a Metropolis loss. The second was for a touchdown pass to the corner of the end zone for Metropolis. Then the bench cleared for Gotham and they had to break up a fight on the field. Gotham never even went on offense. Zack Synder was directing, he was on the megaphone calling the plays and cuts."
Henry Cavill is set to play Superman and Ben Affleck will take on the role of Batman in the upcoming sequel to "Man of Steel." However, neither of the actors were in attendance of the college football game on Saturday.
IGN reports official "Batman vs. Superman" filming will begin in its entirety February 2014 for a July 17, 2015 release.
