Metropolis Is Being Redeveloped At DC Universe

Today, a name for the upcoming DC Comics digital service has been confirmed: DC Universe — and logos for shows including Titans were revealed. It was also announced that a Swamp Thing series is coming from Smallville alum Mark Verheiden!

There was one project, though, that was missing from the announcement: Metropolis. We are hearing that the series, which would have featured Lois Lane and Lex Luthor in Superman’s home city, is not dead, but it is being redeveloped, so we assume that is why it is not part of that initial crop of programming.

(Hey, WB, if you’re looking for new producers we have five words for you: “Craig Byrne and Derek Russell!” If that doesn’t work, how about five others: “Alfred Gough and Miles Millar?”)

But hey, Swamp Thing! That should be pretty cool right?

Craig Byrne

Craig Byrne has been writing about Superman TV since 1995, when the "Lois & Clark Krypton Club" launched. He founded KryptonSite.com in February 2001, becoming the first fan site for The WB/CW television series Smallville. He also wrote the Official Companion books for Smallville seasons 4-7 as well as the Smallville Visual Guide.

  • I was sold on the original premise of Metropolis, but perhaps they'll actually decide to make this a full-on Superman show set on Earth-38 of the Arrowverse and starring Tyler Hoechlin! That would be awesome! Oh, and I would be all for either one of those potential showrunner duos ;)!
