They want a run-down city with old architecture, they have a winner.
Transformers 4 was filming there at one point too. Saves them money when everything already looks blown up.

Act 1: Metropolis = Toronto
Act 2: Metropolis = Detroit
I dunno, it'll be interesting to see. I suspect most of the filming done here will actually be the Metro Detroit and surrounding areas with Toronto being used more for Metropolis. But who knows.

That's pretty cool. It's good for Detroit.
I've seen a bunch of big movies being filmed in Toronto so far.

Sweet. Hopefully the city gets business from the financial sector soon.

That's how I felt, I vowed to never see another Ben Affleck movie after that wanna-be "Departed" bank robber movie. I guess Argo was supposed to be good but I refused to see it. I probably won't rush to see this one until I see some good reviews.

I could be completely wrong because I'm no comic book nerd, but i believe the story is based on an older Batman who is viewed as a vigilantly by the city so Superman is brought in to catch him. And i'm pretty sure batman wins

However, Ben Affleck as batman is just wrong.
