'Batman Vs Superman' Filming Begins: Gotham City Vs Metropolis State Football Game, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill No Shows

Filming for 'Batman vs Superman' is officially underway. Scenes from a Gotham City vs Metropolis State College football game were filmed this past Saturday in L.A. A video has been leaked from the set, showing director Zack Snyder, however, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill were not present.

SadPuppyProductions managed to capture some video from the set. They also added:

"Day 1 of filming for 2015′s Batman Vs. Superman. The scene takes place at Gotham City University’s stadium facing off against rivals Metropolis University. Everyone in the audience was given various Gotham Football shirts. Some black, some yellow, some T Shirts, some sweatshirts, etc. Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300, Man of Steel) was on set, however the main characters were not there."

Batman News filled in more details from the set, reporting:

"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 would be the opening 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."

While filming has just begun, film writer David Goyer offered some possible insight into who will win. Goyer, who has written for the Dark Knight Trilogy and Man of Steel, told the Associated Press just who he thought would come out victorious, saying:

"Most comic book purest would says Batman because he is the ultimate strategist. Even though it makes no sense what so ever. If Superman just flicked his finger Batman would be done for."
