Giant SUPERMAN Statue Spotted on Set of BATMAN v SUPERMAN


A still-under-construction 15 foot Superman statue was spotted earlier this week on the Michigan LexCorp film set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Intrepid Michigan native “Bananadoc” made sure to get the internet a photo of the statue when went over to the old GM building across the street from Michigan Motion Picture Studios in Pontiac to snap some photos of Superman in all his inanimate glory.

The statue is placed in front a large green screen, which Unleash The Fanboy can only suspect that the statue is supposed to appear in downtown Metropolis.

The presence of a statue suggests that it is a commemoration of Superman despite the destruction that befell Metropolis as a result of Superman and General Zod’s alleged actions, (Superman’s lawyers claim otherwise).

There’s also the fact that a Superman story is not complete with some good old fashion xenophobia, so one has to wonder why the people of Metropolis would commemorate a 15 foot statue in Superman’s (a freaking alien weirdo’s) honor.

Bananadoc also tried to get a photo of the new LexCorp logo, but unfortunately the logo was obscured by a tarp. Batman-News reports that said tarp will be removed later this week, however.

Additionally, below you can catch some photos of the alleged LexCorp building that is currently being used on the set. If you look closely, that blue X on the building is supposed to be LexCorp logo, which drew skepticism from the internet over whether director Zack Snyder knows which letter “Lex” starts with.

We can expect that this building is only one of the buildings that LexCorp operates from, as we saw a number of different buildings in Metropolis being destroyed in Man of Steel.

But I have to wonder why Lex Luthor would even have such a small and relatively unimpressive building for his allegedly multi-national and multi-billion dollar corporation when he has an ego to match the size of the Sun.

Batman-News also reported that a LexCorp scene will be filmed of June 12th and 13th which with Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) expected to make an appearance.

Be sure to catch Zack Snyder’s court procedural drama, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in May 2016.
