A film crew for DC’s upcoming “Superman” movie started making Superior Avenue over for what it appears to be an explosive action scene.
Throughout the day Thursday, downtown Cleveland passersby waited and waited to witness a staged car chase, crash and booming “explosions.”
Indeed, Thursday marked the first day crews were out in public preparing to film the new “Superman” movie. Dump trucks unloaded big chunks of mangled fake concrete onto Superior Avenue. Lots of crumpled cars arrived on a flatbed. A fictitious Jitters Coffee has taken over Rising Star Coffee’s storefront at the Arcade. The Leader Building now has a snazzy Daily Planet sphere over an entrance as the newspaper where Clark Kent, Lois Lane and others work.
No cameras were spotted on Day 1, however. That’s expected to change in the coming days as street closures remain in effect today and Saturday, and again next Tuesday. We’ll be there every day.The movie is expected in theaters next summer. When you watch it and try to identify all the Cleveland landmarks, you can thank the Greater Cleveland Film Commission and an $11 million tax credit for luring the moviemakers to our city.: Downtown Cleveland is ready for its closeup.

That's Sean McDonnell shivering with fear while climbing for the first time.: Ohio Pie Co. just launched Road Dogs Gotta Eat, an effort to feed bands that stop in Northeast Ohio for shows,: PETA is planning an in-person demonstration with its “Hell on Wheels” vehicle in downtown Cleveland this weekend to discourage locals from dining at Mabel’s BBQ, Shake Shack and other restaurants that serve meat,.
