As we come to the end of the tour standing at 220 E 42nd St, the cinematic stand-in for the Daily Planet in the 1978 "Superman" film. This location was the hub of journalistic activity where Clark Kent worked as a reporter, his disguise when he wasn't saving the world as Superman. Feel the energy of the newsroom that was central to the Man of Steel's story.
