As production continues on Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice in Detroit, photos from the set of the highly anticipated film have been finding their way online on a regular basis as passers-by (and paparazzi) snap shots of the cast and set of the film. A new set of photos taken by a pair of locals offers a peek at how Detroit is being transformed in Batman’s home city of Gotham for the film.

In a series of photos posted to Twitter by Tim Malin and Tim Reinman (and collected on ComicBookMovie.com), we get a look at the entrance to Gotham City Jail. In the DC Comics universe, the jail typically serves as a holding facility for common criminals and a temporary stop for the more dangerous villains destined for Arkham Asylum or Stonegate Penitentiary. The Gotham City Jail set in Detroit has been constructed inside the building that once housed the Detroit Police Station.

The pair also posted photos of a fleet of Gotham City Police Department cruisers, decked out in full “GCPD” dressing.

We still have quite a long time to wait before Batman V. Superman hits theaters, so you can expect to see a lot more photos make their way online before production concludes on the film.

Scheduled to hit theaters March 25, 2016, Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, Diane Lane, Jesse Eisenberg, and Jeremy Irons. The film is directed by Zack Snyder.

The best shows on Disney+ right now (April 2024)

An octopus and a diver interact in Secrets of the Octopus.

The good news for Disney+ subscribers is that there are new episodes of X-Men '97 and Star Wars: The Bad Batch throughout April and into early May. Beyond those two shows, older audiences are starved for new programing on Disney+ that isn't geared toward young children. And if you do have kids, then you may learn just how many times you can watch the same episodes of Bluey season 3 over and over again without going mad.

This month, National Geographic is the only option for new Disney+ shows if you don't have a Hulu subscription as well. On April 21, National Geographic is debuting the new three-part miniseries Secrets of the Octopus, which will make its streaming debut April 22 on Disney+. Additionally, National Geographic's Drain the Oceans has been added to Disney+ as well.
