Earlier this month, the cast & crew of Superman & Lois were filming scenes at the 200 Granville Plaza. the episode is being directed by Gregory Smith. The scenes shot on this day included Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent, and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane. In a daytime scene, and in a later scene Tyler was Superman. When I first showed up to set that day, I took a look around while they were setting up the first shot, and found a couple set pieces, including one for "Centennial Station" at "Centennial Plaza", on the Centennial Station sign, had a bunch of transit routes on it, which I found funny they all were just labelled "Station #__", instead of a specific location like most city routes would be. But the lines the routes were on, all had specific names. There were some generic ones like "Waterfront, Centennial, Riverfront, Central, Southview, & East Side", but there were 4 other lines on the map, with "Siegel, Shuster, O'Neil, Maggin", which happen to be the surnames of Joe Shuster, one of the co-creators of Superman Jerry Siegel, the other co-creator of Superman Dennis O'Neil, a long time writer for DC Comics Elliot S. Maggin, another long time DC Comics writer. Also seen on set, was 1 sign for a "G.A.N.G. Busters" initiative. I didnt think a lot about it, till someone told me theres a character of the picture on that sign, by the name of.... you guessed it "Gangbuster". At the first location, under neath, & across the street of the night scene location, Clark & Lois are walking along a street in Metropolis, with reporter badges on. One thing I over heard to give context on the scene, is they are there investigating a murder. A bit later, they moved above where they started to a walk way, and Clark & Lois have a short talk, before the pair leave arm in arm. A bit later, they moved across the street to the 200 Granville location for the night scene. This location has been used in the Arrowverse a few times in the past, including Supergirl season 3 premiere, The Flash season 5 finale, as well as The Flash season 4 finale. In this scene, they had Superman there, and he was looking a little different. Despite the fact it didnt rain more than a brief sprinkle the entire night, they had his hair looking very damp. The scene has a bunch of extras standing around in an area called "Centennial Square", Superman then shows up, by landing on the ground. Everyone looks at him, as he assures them everything will be okay. At 1 point, the director told the onlookers to look at him as if it was the 1st time they saw him, which I found weird since he used to live in Metropolis full time in the past. Before he can do much more than tell them everything will be fine, something is in the sky, crashing towards the earth, and he leaps off to take it on....and thats all there really was. After that Tyler wrapped. Weird part was, when they wrapped, there was 30 or so onlookers watching them film. As soon as they called wrap, EVERYONE in unison, with the exception of me and another fan, left, like as if they were under some type of mind control. It was wild. This gave me and that fan the opportunity, with a suddenly much smaller crowd, to get a photo with Tyler in the costume. He took a bunch of photos with crew members first, and said some good byes to many of them. I asked him if he had heard anything on if they have been told a date to return for season 4, and he said not yet, but assumes it will be about the same time of year as season 3 started. Then he left, for the final time that season. After Tyler wrapped, the crew moved down to the street below where they were filming, to do another scene that had no cast in it. This is where I think the most interesting stuff of the evening happened, even though there was nothing to see, because of what was HEARD, and what I saw at 1 point off set. They shot a scene with a bunch of extras walking around, then suddenly stopping to look at the centre of an intersection. The directors comments directing how the crowd should react is the key point for this part of the post. He tells the fans "you see Superman crawl out of the hole, he looks injured"., the next part of the scene, he then tells them "something else is coming out of the hole, its a monster", the last part is he tells the crowd to follow a green laser pointer on a wall up into the air, to represent these two characters going up high into the air. At one point, they filmed 1 singular take of a tripod set up right in the middle of the intersection. I am unsure if it is supposed to represent something, or if its a piece of tech they use for a specific look. But they only shot it once. The rest of the time was spent on these extras, and 1 bit of filming of looking down a road at traffic driving. NOW, why does this part of the evening mean something. Its what I happened to read earlier in the evening. On the storyboard, I saw 1 panel that had 1 specific line & a drawing interpretation "his spikes grow", with a rough drawing of a monster with jagged spikes growing out of him (I almost never show photos I ever get of any information I see that isnt ON set [aka - in front of the camera], but you clearly by now if you are a regular know my track record on things I see at a set). That is all I will say on the matter. IF you do not get the connection of the two parts there, I suppose you can just wait till the dozens of theory videos come out. But I suspect, after the reaction I got telling that story to two people, a lot of people will jump to this theory (once again) upon reading this. Video will come later on my YOUTUBE CHANNEL. So check in there for those later on in a few weeks. Some of the videos will be on the Patreon page for video tier members in the next couple weeks. Superman & Lois season 3 will airs in 2023 on The CW in the U.S. You can now get exclusive first looks on our Patreon ahead of these blog posts.

My other blog from the day before set is HERE. On this day, Tyler Hoechlin was dressed as Clark Kent, instead of Superman, and he was doing some scenes in an alley first. Early in the day they had him run down the alley, and simulate the classic shirt ripping scene, except for the fact he never ripped it open. A bit later, they moved to the corner where he starts his run, and has a scene where he is stepping out of a a phone booth, for the classic Superman idea of him changing in phone booths. When he steps out, he notices people rushing to, or away form something, and he stops a woman and asks her what is going on, she points up in the sky at something, says something to him, then goes on her way, leaving Clark there to stare up at it on his own. Later in the afternoon/evening, they moved up the street from there, and had a scene where Clark is standing on a street, looking at something in a newspaper, and trying to figure out where he is going. He tries to ask someone, but seems to fail, then just stands there, looking confused on where to go. Then they moved to the final scene of the day, where Clark is now joined by Bitsie Tulloch as Lois Lane. He has ner reporters notepad in her hand, and the pair are walking along. It felt very much like a 1st, or at most, very early interaction between them. One little detail I noticed when I was photographing parts of the set, is that the license plate has a 2004 expiration tag on it. So I would assume this scene is intended to be set around 2003/04. Superman & Lois season 1 will air Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. starting February 23, 2021. You can now get exclusive first looks on our Patreon ahead of these blog posts.

The filming was on a side street, not too far from where they shot the first public scene with him in the suit way back when. On this day, I found Tyler Hoechlin on set as Superman, along with Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane in my 1st ever time seeing her on set, or at all. Also on set was a currently unknown actor as the villain of the episode. I believe the character is being called "Atom Man", but I wasnt entirely sure of that. One thing IS for certain, he was sporting some symbols on his chest that Arrowverse fans might take a 2nd look at. It looks like the symbol the Earth X villains (I wont use that specific word here) in the Crisis On Earth X cross over event. The scene plays out with the bad guy standing there, making people panic. Lois Lane is standing in the middle of it all, and suddenly Superman swoops in to deal with the villain. Then there is mostly a stand off. At one point the villain has a gun, but then puts his hands behind his head at one point. From the angle I was shooting it when he had his mask, and gun in hand, I never saw what he did with the gun when he moved his hands to his head. Curious moment happens during the interaction, as Superman in comes in, wearing his retro outfit that his mom made him that we see in the 1st episode of the series, he turns to Lois, and says "nice to meet you", and at another point says "are you okay?", as if he had not met her before. She replies back to him and I swear I thought I heard her call him "Mister Metropolis" during 1 take, but it was hard to hear for certain over traffic. Could this be the 1st time Superman and Lois actually meet? A short while later, they wrapped that scene, and the cast left to do a wardrobe change. A twitter user named @Kriptogaming caught them a few hours later filming in the same area doing a scene where Lois was now wearing a green jacket, and Tyler was now dressed as Clark Kent doing a scene here... https://twitter.com/kriptogaming1/status/1389771005036400640 Superman & Lois season 1 will air Tuesday nights on The CW in the U.S. starting February 23, 2021.
