The Man of Steel was back on the set of Superman yesterday, albeit a little worse for wear than normal. An unknown foe had seemingly punched the hero at least a few feet into the ground, with Metropolis' citizens rallying around the hero to help him up.
Now, we have some closer shots of the battle-damaged Supes courtesy of Cleveland.com. Based on these and other photos from the reboot's Cleveland set, it appears the Man of Steel will spend a fair bit of this movie with a dirtied, battered costume.
While Lex Luthor is Superman's main villain, we don't necessarily expect him to get physical with the Kryptonian unless James Gunn plans to finally bring his battle suit to the big screen.
Instead, it seems far more likely that the mysterious "Ultraman" will pose the biggest threat to Superman and is probably the one who sent him crashing down to the city streets.
The images below also include a new look at Metropolis' unique fashion and another terrific photo of the downed Superman. Unfortunately, DC Studios hasn't released any official stills from the movie beyond that first look at the Man of Tomorrow and likely won't for a while yet.
Gunn isn't expected to attend Comic-Con and while it's possible we'll get a poster to capitalise on the buzz surrounding the event, we're not expecting the marketing campaign for this one to really begin until early next year.
Check out these new Superman set photos in the X posts below.
