'Superman: Man of Steel' - new on-set pictures

We already know that Henry Cavill's Superman has ditched the trademark red underpants. But we've now got a few more clues about director Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman: Man of Steel reboot with these latest pictures from the set of the film.

The filmmakers have converted a place called Plano in Illinois into the famous town of Smallville, which is where Clark Kent did his growing up before his career as a superhero.

Included in the snaps is a peek at the Smallville Police badge and some shots of what looks like the fallout from a plane crash, with everyone's favourite Kryptonian stepping in to save the day.
