Thanks to a heads up from Facebook's Superman: Man of Steel (2013), we have the following photo and report from an a visit to the Chicago set which was published way back in September 2011 but completely missed by us and seemingly every other major comic book movie news site! Here is an excerpt from the article, while the full version can be found by clicking on the link below.
But there’s some construction going on at a building on that block, and the above poster is on a wall facing where the movie was shooting. The logo of the actual construction company is on there, but I don’t know if the construction company or the production company is responsible for it. Either way, I love it, because it took someone’s attention for detail to create it. If you look closely at the bottom, the logos are for the "Daily Planet Reconstruction Fund," a couple of City of Metropolis agencies, the United Constructionists union, the "Metropolis Green Building Initiative," and the "Metropolis Transit Authority."
So, could this mean that The Daily Planet will be destroyed? (more than likely as a result of Superman's battle with Zod) It certainly sounds like it, but it alternatively could just be a fund that the newspaper contributes to and just a very detailed piece of set dressing! Regardless, the fact that "Metropolis Will Rise Again" hints at some sort of major destruction! Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.
