Despite laying waste to Metropolis in ‘Man Of Steel’, it seems the public has embraced the Kryptonian as a hero and are erecting a statue in his honor.

A Detroit local snapped the following pictures from the set of ‘Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice‘ depicting a huge statue being assembled to pay honor to the hero, against a green screen meaning that a CGI background will be inserted in post production.  Of course this doesn’t give us any insight into the actual movie itself.  Even so, check out the pictures below:

And here is a close-up shot:

The film stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey, Tao Okamoto, and Laurence Fishburne.
