There’s historical precedent — and our pal PAUL KUPPERBERG had a big hand in it… Ken Hommel, a TV exec known around comics circles, posted pix on Facebook the other day from his trip to the Cleveland sites where James Gunn has been shooting Superman.

Nelson Bridwell, DC’s staff historian and continuity nitpicker, had an opinion on the subject, I don’t remember what it was, but I found that being able to physically locate the city was irrelevant to any of the dozens of Superman and Jimmy Olsen stories I wrote over the years. When I wrote The Atlas to the DC Universe (Mayfair Games, 1990) I was tasked with amalgamating all the available...
