Nobody in their right mind would think that Doomsday was a live-action creation, but surely the human being Henry Cavill was present for the final showdown with him? He actually wasn't, as the VFX reel reveals, because some shots of the bust-up were rendered in a completely digital plane,.

Even though these shots fly by pretty quickly, it's impressive that they could make a digital Superman look so believable. As with the Batman smashing through a window shot discussed earlier, these frames looked so good in the finished film that you wouldn't even notice Cavill was missing.

Before moving to the next page, spare some pity for whoever it was that had to animate Superman's rear end in such vivid detail. What a job to have.
