The Batman warehouse fight in Batman v Superman wasn’t just one of the best scenes in the movie, it was one of the best Batman scenes ever! Director Zack Snyder took to Vero yesterday to share a behind-the-scenes photo.
“I think his father commissioned the lake house as a gift to his mother,” Snyder told a fan on Vero. “A place built by her favorite architect and she loved it. When Bruce turned 18, he moved in. He ordered Wayne Manor be left to decompose.”

A fan on Vero posted the Batman v Superman photo above and said that he never noticed the crosses in the background before. Zack Snyder replied and said, “that’s a reference to Justice League 2”. He then added “until it wasn’t,” likely referring to the movie’s cancellation.
In the concept art above, you can see that Metallo was considered for Batman v Superman at one point. My best guess is this is from the version of the script that David Goyer wrote, before Chris Terrio came in and rewrote the movie and it became “Dawn of Justice”.
Batman v Superman concept artist Jerad S.Marantz previously shared a hi-tech looking Batsuit he worked on, but this latest one takes it to the next level.
