"Batman vs. Superman" production designer Patrick Tatopoulos recently revealed what it is like working the highly anticipated "Man of Steel" sequel.

Tatopoulos explained to FlickeringMyth.com how he came in contact with director Zack Snyder and landed the job.

"At the end of 300: Rise of an Empire [2014] I met with Zack [Snyder] and he said, 'I going to do this movie and want you to design it.'  I was stunned.  I thought, 'Wow! Great.'  That's where it started.  This is a crazy huge movie.  It's taking a lot of energy but it's something that someone like me needs to do in his lifetime," Tatopoulos said.

"There's a project that is close to me that I was going to direct and I said, 'I need to do this,'" Tatopoulos added.  "Working with Zack again was important to me because he's an amazing director with an incredible vision.  Batman and Superman is something I've always wanted to do.  I would have chosen one or both.  I got the offer and jumped on it."

Tatopoulos told FlickeringMyth.com he was relieved when the production was delayed from its 2015 release date to summer of 2016. 

"The big chunk that we want to do for the movie is there but there is so much more to do," Tatopoulos said.  "For me, it's been a blessing that it has been pushed a little bit."

Filming for "Man of Steel 2" is underway as lead actor Henry Cavill has been spotted multiple times in the Detroit, Mich. area.  However, Batman-On-Film reports scenes featuring Ben Affleck's new batmobile are being shot in California. 

"My sources tell me a shoot is currently taking place in the Los Angeles area. What's being shot? Well, I've been told it involves the highly anticipated, new BATMOBILE! Whether this footage will end up being used in the film or is for the purposes of testing/promotion is not entirely clear. But it does reveal that pre-Terrio/Affleck designs have been retained," a source close to production told the Batman news site.

"Batman vs. Superman" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.
