Christopher Reeve did his most famous photo shoot in front of the NYC skyline. Here’s the call Helen Slater got:
SLATER: Where are we doing our big publicity shoot tomorrow?
HER AGENT: In the Popeye’s parking lot.
SLATER: That’s where we’re meeting?
AGENT: No that’s where the shoot is.
SLATER: Is there an awesome skyline visible from there? Something emotional and stirring?
AGENT: There’s a Popeye’s.
SLATER: Yes I know but what’s at that location that makes it the perfect place for a Supergirl photo shoot?
AGENT: Popeye’s.
SLATER: You mean we’re actually taking A-list publicity photos that will be printed in every newspaper and magazine across the country in front of a Popeye’s?
AGENT: Yes.
SLATER: But these images will last forever! Chris took his pictures in front of the Metropolis skyline. They are iconic!
AGENT: If you look closely at the skyline I think you can see a Popeye’s.
SLATER: But what does it *say*? Superman standing in front of the city he has sworn to protect has emotional resonance. It’s powerful. What does Supergirl standing in front of Popeye’s mean? What’s the message? What am I protecting?
AGENT: Have you had their chicken sandwich?
SLATER: No.
AGENT: Trust me, one day this will all make sense.
