Superman It’s full of little details! Set photos from the upcoming DC Universe movie reveal a new Daily Planet logo along with an Easter egg about Tim Drake, the third Robin.
Ohio is becoming a Metropolis like Superman begins filming in Cleveland. This has led to several photographs from the set hitting the Internet. While fans were quick to point out every little Easter egg, perhaps the most exciting thing is seeing all the Daily Planet posters. This includes the company’s full logo, which was just seen in the latest batch of photos.
This logo is a huge departure from the simplified serif logo that recently came out of a video. These set photos show a typography much more similar to that of Richard Donner. Superman movie. This is understandable, given that the director’s series has had a major influence on this incarnation of the DC Universe. However, it will be interesting to see if this is just an Easter egg or if the influence runs deeper.
Robin’s own Superman Easter egg
The Daily Planet isn’t the only one to have an Easter egg in the latest batch of set photos. James Gunn has made a sneaky reference to Robin in one of the many buildings in Metropolis. Specifically, one of Tim Drake’s aliases in “The Wounded Duck” has been seen as the title of a bar in the city.
Some fans take this as confirmation that Tim Drake is not only in Superman, but he’s old enough to run his own bar. However, it’s clear from the set photos that the name is just an Easter egg for hardcore DC fans. Plus, if any Robin were going to open a bar in Metropolis, it would be Jason, not Tim!
