Batman/Superman Movie Pushed Back to May 2016
Fri, January 17, 2014 
Three weeks into the New Year and its time for a bombshell. Warner Brothers just announced the untitled Batman/Superman film has been delayed from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016.
Production was scheduled to begin on the Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck-in-spandex headliner next month primarily in Detroit. It has been officially stalled till the second quarter of this year. The blame, according to the press release the studio released, places the move on giving "the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story."
Not sure what the real reason is though an odd rumor of Affleck breaking his leg and delaying production surfaced on the Super Hero Hype forum yesterday (Batman-News stole it and claimed as their own exclusive this afternoon). If there is any truth to that, nobody from Affleck, Zack Snyder or the Brothers Warners' camp is talking
Don't expect tears from us. This production was sounding more and more like a clusterfuck; hijacking a solo-Man of Steel sequel and morphing into Justice League in all but name to take on The Avengers: Age of Ultron that summer. If an extra year is required for wiser heads to prevail, so be it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zack Snyder decides to walk away from the project or he might be pushed off.

I think this serves as proof the studio is forcing more and more of their input into this project as it goes along...making it harder for the filmmakers to deliver a great film.
