lmao I totally forgot it even had an exterior

Hmmm. I remember it being much drearier

I said this this to someone on Facebook, but you can tell who has and hasn't been inside of a modern newsroom- or working in one in my case. Newsrooms nowadays are pretty sterile and dull. It's not The Newsroom or even Supergirl with everyone running around or staring intently from the control room while reporters smoke while yelling at sources. Usually it's people just glued to their computers and only getting up for lunch or when there's free food available. It's one of the things I enjoyed about the Nolan Batman films and DCEU films- because those locations felt like actual places instead of solely going for something more fantastical. Heck, even Superman and Lois' Daily Planet looks no different from your average newsroom exterior.

It's like...that's just how newsrooms look nowadays! So the DCU looking a bit more fantastical is a nice change of pace, but what we got before felt more emblematic of what you'd expect places like that to actually look like, whereas here it's like looking into a comic. Both work.

Actually, the Daily Planet looked like this in Man of Steel:

 

[Captain Tired]

Has small globe energy

 

[Sawyer]

I genuinely don’t even remember this, but considering how unremarkable both his Metropolis and his Gotham were, I’m not surprised.

 

[Kane52630]

I want to say it's from a commercial for something. I think the one in the movie is different. Still, the point stands.

S&L still had a globe on top...

 

[SupermansPal]

Just gorgeous.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

One would think we gotta be days away from getting our first look at Lois, Clark and Jimmy

But will we get official look first... or set leaks?

 

[SupermansPal]

Ladies and gentlemen, our new Daily Planet.

Zack Snyder's Daily Planet was beautiful and Henry Cavill had the biggest hands of any Superman only second to Dean Cain.

 

[Nemeres]

Every first-in-the-series Superman movie has wanted to do a Daily Planet lobby scene, cool how this is not the exception.

 

[flickchick85]

I have a feeling we may be seeing Superman in these set pics soon!

Yeah given all that building debris they’re wheeling in, the odds are feeling pretty good!

I love how I can't even tell if it's a Zack Snyder movie or an episode on The Boys where they parody Snyder.

 

[GreenKToo]

S:TM. Very similar. This was from the opening scene.

 

[Ninjablade]

lmao I totally forgot it even had an exterior

That's because it only shows up in an Turkish Airlines commercial

 

[agomezv3]

This is so funny

 

[Herolee10]

So, are they just setting up the sets or is filming actually taking place right now over there?

 

[Lily Adler]

This is so funny

Dyson must be the Apple for those people.

So, are they just setting up the sets or is filming actually taking place right now over there?

They’ve been filming on the beach set this week (which is closed off, hence no pics. No one can get near it), these downtown streets get closed off starting today and going through the 25th. So I’d assume they’ll be shooting on these sets for the next several days now. Will be harder to keep them completely closed off like the beach because people actually live/work in these buildings.
