App will debut with new Batman v Superman movie

Posted

When "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" debuts on March 25th, so will a new app that allows fans to check out where scenes were filmed in Michigan.

The state's Film and Digital Media Office paid Grand Rapids-based Mutually Human to develop the app called "Batman v Superman Tour."

Jenell Leonard, commissioner of Michigan Film & Digital Media Office said, “This app also takes an innovative approach that helps us promote Michigan businesses and cultural destinations located nearby and along the paths to location sites in ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.’’

The mobile tour features an interactive map that designates 12 shooting locations from the Warner Brothers movie and gives background information about the scene shot at the site, as well as the property itself. The app also features social media sharing functionality, as well as a library of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” characters and clips.

Michigan is the first state to develop an app as a way to promote tourism connected to the appeal of a popular film shot within state boundaries.

Sites included in the app are exclusively from scenes shot in Detroit at locations like Belle Isle, the Michigan Central Station, and the Masonic Temple.
