The Daily Planet - Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

But I said they put it in the lobby of Man of Steel.

And I’m saying “not quite the same.”

Snyder’s disdain for Superman’s whole world/supporting cast even extended to the damn building.

But it was set in the 'real world'... cause that's so cool

So real that Clark got a job as a reporter with no experience or formal education.

As someone with an undergrad degree in Journalism, I can't tell you how that pissed me off

Really creative choice to just re-use the Wayne Enterprises building from TDK/TDKR

Threads I think. I saved it a while back

As with the Superman suit, I don't love the first impression of Clark's costuming here. Once again, glad to see natural wavy hair (but parted on the right instead of Superman's left), but the flashy cutaway collar and contrast buttons on the shirt seems like an odd choice. Says more Roman Roy than humble Kansas farmboy turned hardworking journalist.

If they are going all out for Metropolis like this, I can't wait to see what Gotham is going to look like in Brave And The Bold.

Believe it or not that's actually a thing now!
The New York times, the so called "paper of records" hired a woman called Anat Schwartz to write a front page story about how Hamas weaponized rape on Oct 7. Now that's a HUGE deal for any journalist right? To write a headline story for the NY times! But here is the thing, Anat Schwartz isn't a journalist, she's never had a journalism degree and she has never written an article in her entire life! Yet she gets to write a headliner for the NY times! The reason is that Anat worked for the Isreali army and the NY times has, is and will always be subservient to Isreal and the whole article was a sham!

This..."article" was co-authored by Jeffrey Gettleman and Adam Sella (Schwartz's nephew who is a food critic writer) and the sad thing is Gettleman is a Pulitzer prize winner (just like Lois Lane) but when he was questioned about this sham of an article he said this:

“And what we found I don't want to even use the word evidence because evidence is almost like the legal term that suggests you're trying to prove an allegation or prove a case in court.”

Basically this so called "reporter" is saying that it's not his job to provide evidence but rather tell a story! This is where journalism is at nowadays.

Check out the link below for some legit journalism done by REAL journalists Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate.

Note: flickchick, I'm pretty sure this video contains no offensive language (it's been a while since I've watched) but if it does I apologize.



I don't want to get into this whole Gaza thing because this isn't the place but sadly we live in a world where the legacy media is bought out and I think CK's journalistic side is now more relevant than ever and should be touched on by future Superman projects.

Didn't care to see Chris Pratt sitting on a sound stage, but these pictures today sure were fun to look at, and imagine. Hopefully sometime in the next 72 hours we get to see the actors in those places as well. Thanks to whomever took and posted the pictures.

You see, now this is a Metropolis that I would actually love to go to visit! It looks so warm and welcoming! I think I would have a lot of fun being there if it were a real place.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Now that’s the kinda metropolis where you could envision Superman rescuing a cat from a tree

I like it, the world building that’s going on looks very promising

 

[Invader Joker]

Hope we see pictures of David as Clark in the coming days.

What do you mean you don’t love a borderline B&W Daily Planet?

I'm patiently waiting for Goyer to reveal they had Clark assume the identity of a dead Daily Planet journalist to get his job.

 

[SupermansPal]

I had an idea back in the day that if in the future a director wanted a Daily Planet that didn’t made you clinically depressed, they could reveal that this is the second Daily Planet building, and they move back to the original one after the second was damaged after a battle.

Thankfully this convoluted retcon won’t be necessary.

I have a Pre-Law degree.

Well, I guess that makes you automatically qualified to become a Judge based on DC Comics logic.

Several years back, I wrote a probably-long-winded thesis somewhere on this website about how I think one of the main appeals of the MCU that was missing from the DCEU is that it's inviting. I'd want to visit that world if I could because it seems cool as hell. I think if you're gonna create a fictional universe, even one where aliens invade and buildings get destroyed in fights and people die en masse, it still has be a place the audience would want to visit. At least, when those horrible things aren't happening lol. I mean, we all have Star Wars/Star Trek planets we'd want to visit if we could, right? A BIG problem with the DCEU imo is that it just seemed like a pretty miserable place. It looked like ours, just...even more depressing somehow. I couldn't even tell the difference between that Metropolis and Gotham, it was all so same-y. That kind of place ain't gonna entice return visits from audiences.

This Metropolis already looks like a place I'd wanna go to ASAP.

Someone suggested to him that the globe should go on the roof and Perry White was all like:

First, it's an undergrad degree.

Second, I'm an agent of chaos.

I have a business degree in undergrad. So obviously I went to law school.

Because we don’t stay in our undergraduate fields of study

I will tell you there's not a single part of my soul that'd want to visit Matt Reeves Gotham, so it depends, but I generally agree. Metropolis should indeed feel like a place like that.

That's Gotham's role, though - it's supposed to be the dark and gloomy corner of this wildly colorful universe. The rest of the universe shouldn't be like Gotham lol.
