Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor chucks Amy Adams' Lois Lane off of LexCorp Tower, luring Superman into a rooftop confrontation where Lex can reveal his oddball plan: to make Superman fight Batman, in the hope that one of them will die. It was a very strange scene and, as it turns out, the actors were the only real thing in it.

All of this was shot within a studio, with big green screen walls filling in for the Metropolis skyline, fake rain being deployed to make things moodier, and a great big fan making it look a bit windy. Presumably, filming on a damp and windy rooftop was deemed too dangerous, but could they not shoot outside at least?
