..from the lobby of the News Building..

From 1929 to 1995, The News was based in the landmark skyscraper at 220 East 42nd Street near Second Avenue, designed by John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The paper moved to 33rd Street in the mid-1990s, but the 42nd Street location is still known as The News Building and still features a giant globe and weather instruments in its lobby. (It was the model for the Daily Planet building of the first two Superman movies). Former News subsidiary WPIX-TV remains in the building, although it now partners with Newsday, another Tribune property.

You really have to create a map of all these locations I haven’t seen. This is a great photo and I didn’t know this is where the Daily Planet came from. Nice.

Well I learn something new everyday. Nice shot, well done 🙂 another place to mark off to visit if we ever go to NY

Spectacular shot.

I like how you captured the light coming from below here! Really nice shot!

This is simply sooooo beautiful

The world has litteraly rolled down the stairs. The world seems in a bad state.

An impressive capture of this notable lobby. A fine picture of the globe.

Interesting catch. I like how you’re able to go to all these nice places and secure all the great shots!

Amazing sculpture…wonderfully captured.

Worldfully shooted 🙂

Excellent capture. Where’s the next locale: Hall of Justice or Batcave?

lol! love your title! 😀 wonderful image! Superman would be proud! :p

That’s a great shot…HQ indeed. It’s amazing how many movies, tv shows, plays, cartoons, comics, etc. have NYC as their setting (or used as their backdrop).
