Possible MAN OF STEEL Spoiler Reveals Key Detail About A Battle In Metropolis

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.

STARRING:

Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman
Amy Adams as Lois Lane
Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent
Diane Lane as Martha Kent
Michael Shannon as Zod

RELEASE DATE: June 14th, 2013.

The Man Of Steel Rises!?

Actually the way the picture is, and how it's buildings leading to the sky, it kinda seems like a subtle (but kinda dumb) nod to TDKR.

StrangerX - 1/6/2012, 9:29 AM

Superman Rises..lol

MovieMaster - 1/6/2012, 9:31 AM

@ThreeBigTacos- You're right, that's really strange lol :P

JDUKE25 - 1/6/2012, 9:32 AM

No Science Police???

JDUKE25 - 1/6/2012, 10:02 AM

the spoiler is that the Daily Planet, along with other buildings, will get either destroyed or damaged heavily during the battle.

thedude2936 - 1/6/2012, 10:03 AM

it does sounds like there will be some super powered destruction goin on in Metropolis

6of13 - 1/6/2012, 10:03 AM

lol Tea@

crazyray - 1/6/2012, 10:05 AM

@Paulrom- Im not one of those nit picky folks, but did you do that shoop? And if not, does anyone else realize the background is the Oklahoma City bombing aftermath? Looks cool as hell, shitty photo choice. lol

DudeGuy - 1/6/2012, 10:08 AM

I CANT WAIT!

Misterfan - 1/6/2012, 10:10 AM

I WANT A TEASER TRAILER, NOWWW!!

darkknightmare2012 - 1/6/2012, 10:10 AM

AldoRaine - 1/6/2012, 10:13 AM

Please release some more official pix already.

PaulRom - 1/6/2012, 10:19 AM

@crazyray No, I found it on Deviantart. ;P

QuietStorm - 1/6/2012, 10:20 AM

Damn,2013. They have sooooo much time. Will they be able to start preproduction on the MOS sequel by the time this one hits in the summer? I'm needy and want a Braniac that leads to Doomsday MOS2 & MOS3 to be filmed back to back ala LOTR.

Greengo - 1/6/2012, 10:26 AM

I sure hope there will be an easter egg for MoS in TDKR

95 - 1/6/2012, 10:46 AM

The implied destruction has officially hyped me up.

Ceejay - 1/6/2012, 10:52 AM

Here's your Spoiler, Amy Adams is still playing Lois Lane.. Fail!

rbfn04 - 1/6/2012, 10:58 AM

Wake me up when they give me some news to get excited about this cluster[frick], please.

DCnerd46 - 1/6/2012, 11:02 AM

I was excited about going to the cinema multiple times this year... then I remembered Star Trek 2 & MAN OF STEEL are coming out next year!!! 2013 will be the best!!

whatevillurks - 1/6/2012, 11:05 AM

Financed by LexCorp no doubt.

126thst - 1/6/2012, 11:09 AM

OK, we are really reaching now lol. Somebody put out a cbm already so we have real stuff to talk about!

marvel72 - 1/6/2012, 11:30 AM

sounds intresting.

@ illwill

is suffering from nolanivitis,caused by s*cking too much nolan dick.

AC1 - 1/6/2012, 11:45 AM

Could be a good way to intro Lex in a sequel or even post credit teaser. Major destruction in Metropolis, Lex moves to the city after funding all repairs, seen as a charitable philanthropists and is loved by all. Superman of course stumbles upon some dark secret and voila! Bestest enemies for life

Vadakin - 1/6/2012, 11:49 AM

Am I the only one who thinks they missed a trick by not putting the Lexcorp logo on that poster?

Fogs - 1/6/2012, 12:11 PM

@Greengo - As I said before if I was a WB execute I'd DEMAND a Cavill cameo in TDKR.

And I would say Illwill is a dick but since he's a kid I think it isn't appropriate.

And @tea, please be moderate on boobs while he's around, his parents might see it and sue you or the site.

plasticman - 1/6/2012, 12:33 PM

Destruction after a fight between Supes and Zod that creates the need for some rebuilding? Say it ain't so. Seriously, this sounds like stretching out on a slow news day.

The only observation that I will share that may fall under spoilage is that the building looks like it has a shadow over it that looks uncannily like a Lexcorp "L" symbol.

esoules84 - 1/6/2012, 12:36 PM

Yeah @tea we needs some.....uplifitig material here if you catch my drift ;)
