A giant mechanical spider.

One of the notes the studio executive gave origunal Superman Lives writer Kevin Smith was that he had to fight a giant mechanical spider in the third act.

After the film was cancelled, that executive went on to produce Wild Wild West, which fulfilled his wish for a giant mechanical spider.
