I think we can rule out The Volume being used on Superman Legacy.

That's how it goes. Same thing happened with CGI.I love the Volume, and I hate that it’s taking so many hits because Disney decided to use it as an all-purpose tool.
You don't need big sets for Supes flying through clouds, The Volume would be great for some dynamic flying scenes.
I want them to do everything possible. Great sets, on location, CGI enhancements. Everything must be used for this film.I wonder how much real location shooting they are going to do or if this is going to be a modern day Batman 88/Returns type situation where they build giant sets to create a stylized fictional city (with CGI enhancements).
Dubai would be great if it weren't for the lack of green. Unless Metropolis has nothing but palm trees now lol. Chicago is, I guess, the closest I can think of - but it was already used as a DC city in TDK and MOS and kind of just looked like Chicago lol.I want very modern looking buildings. When I try to liken it to a real city in my head, it’s like Dubai, but with more buildings and green space. And sky walkways, dammit!
Me personally, I think that the ideal template for Metropolis comes from a rather unexpected source: The League of Super-Pets.
The futuristic art deco architecture is just perfect, it homages Superman's retro roots while looking into the tomorrow.
I also really hope that Gunn will deliver far more worldbuilding into Metropolis than previous adaptations, with not just the Daily Planet and LexCorp, but also Suicide Slum, Stryker's Island, STAR Labs, Galaxy Communications, Centennial Park, Big Belly Burger, to name a few.
Agreed. I don't want a current modern city sitting in as a substitute for Metropolis.Need to see Metropolis given the full art deco treatment. No exceptions.
While fun it does remind me of goofy Clark from whatever Reeve intro had him causing chaos throughout the city by being a bumbling fool which was a little too much. I cant imagine Clark accidentally finding himself in the path of a wrecking ball.I had an idea for a scene of Clark once, on a construction site .
Clark is absent-mindedly wondering around metropolis ( he has Lois on his mind ) and he accidentally stumbles onto a construction site.
A crane operator is demolishing a building with a wrecking ball.
He releases the ball for another swing just as he sees Clark walk into the danger.
He screams to look out, but it's too late.
He sees the several ton steel ball strike the man and a cloud of dust appears, a loud metallic sound is heard as the whole crane shudders.
The operator hurriedly rushes down as other construction workers gather.
They expect the worst.
But no one is around. The operator says I know it hit him, I saw it. No one could have survived that.
The chat among themselves about it until one Gasps out loud and points at the wrecking ball.
It slowly rotates around and we see a handprint embedded about two inches deep into the side of it.
The operators face turns white and he looks up and around. He knows who it was it hit.
Someone says in a hushed tone, that was superman!
Agreed. I don't want a current modern city sitting in as a substitute for Metropolis.
That's just "blah".
If it were up to me, I'd take all of the biggest and best skyscrapers from around the world, and combine them into one city on a bay.
I'd even have my concept artist create new skyscrapers to fit into it.
I'd have connecting skywalks and train tracks/rails connecting to the bigger buildings.
Lex would of course have the tallest, biggest, building. Ego and all.
I'd want Metropolis to be as big as this, maybe even bigger.
