Look everyone! It's the Daily Planet!

This may not be an Earth shattering set photo for MAN OF STEEL but it's still pretty cool.

Here we have a look inside Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen's place of employment, Daily Planet.

Apparently the exterior shots of the Daily Planet will be Chicago's Board of Trade building. Trivia: What other movie used this building for exterior shots? THE DARK KNIGHT. Yes, that's correct.

As I said before, although it may not be much I still enjoy seeing stuff like this. I always thought it would be cool to work at the Daily Planet.

Check out the shot below.

Bugle.

You have to go with the Daily Bugle. Would you rather flirt with Betty Brant or Jimmy Olsen?

I find their choice of locations disconcerting. The Dark Knight (and Batman Begins to a lesser extent) just oozed Chicago. They already shot outside of the Board of Trade for the Joker vs Batman showdown with the semi truck in TDK, and it was used as the headquarters of Wayne Enterprises (with a CG makeover) in Batman Begins.
So why are they now using these same locations for Superman? All the while shooting the next Batman film in Pittsburgh? It doesn't make sense.
I really hope Snyder and Nolan have some sound reasoning behind their choice of locations, or that they intend to really heavily makeover the Chicago locations with CG for Superman. Otherwise we're going to end up with Gotham from the last two Batman films and the new Metropolis looking exactly the same, with a different looking Gotham for the third Batman. Not good.

Captain Morgan

Seems to be on the set also, dressed in plain clothes with a bag. Interesting...

Papers are slowly dying and Wayne Enterprises is probably a way too stuck up place to work.
Stark Industries baby! The bossman looks like way more fun than Bruce Wayne. He looks like the kind of boss who would actually go out with you for a burger and the strippers!

They're filming in a real building!? Zack Snyder must be so confused.

Still, I think this will be good. I'm not sure why (good cast probably), but I'm optimistic for now.

Yeah, it's not like he filmed in actual buildings for Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead, or Sucker Punch...

I'm not into journalism, and Wayne Enterprises seems cool but a bit uptight for my taste. I'll be leaving my application at Stark Industries. I mean come on, Paltrow is your CEO.
