Alberta Loses Superman Due To Lack Of Firepower

The report that Superman is to film in Chicago makes a lot of sense considering this is where The Brothers Nolan & The Brothers Warner previously let Batman dismantle the bad guys. However, it probably feels like a slap in the face to Alberta, Canada. If only they made their really expensive and massive military weaponry available. According to the Toronto Sun and Lindsay Blackett, the province's minister of culture and community spirit, that is exactly what happened.

"From what I understand (the production) needed aircraft carriers and the Canadian military doesn't have those. They needed attack helicopters and things like that and we just don't have them and the U.S. was willing to give them whatever they wanted. Not competitiveness, not our crews, not location, not the amount of money or anything like that -- it was just down to the hard assets."
