<p dir="ltr">What was <em>Metropolis</em> like before Superman moved to town? That&#8217;s a question that will be answered in the latest original series announced for DC Entertainment&#8217;s upcoming streaming service.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>Metropolis</em> comes from John Stephens and Danny Cannon&#8211;the producers of <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/foxs-batman-tv-show-gotham-renewed-for-season-4/1100-6449955/">Gotham</a></em>, which is set in a pre-Batman Gotham City&#8211;and will consist of a 13-episode first season. A synopsis from DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. TV reads, &#8220;Set in the wondrous and awe-inspiring City of Tomorrow before the arrival of Superman, <em>Metropolis</em> follows Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate the world of fringe science and expose the city&#8217;s dark and bizarre secrets.&#8221;</p>

<p dir="ltr">While on the surface, <em>Metropolis</em> sounds a lot like <em>Gotham</em>, there is a major difference. While Batman has yet to arrive in Gotham City on the Fox series, a young Bruce Wayne is one of the main characters. With <em>Metropolis</em> focussing on Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, there will likely be no Clark Kent. Of course, it&#8217;s notable that Lois is teaming with someone who will go on to become one of the biggest villains in the DC universe.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Metropolis will go into production later in the year to make a debut in 2019 on DC&#8217;s streaming service. It joins other announced series like the live-action <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/titans-gives-first-look-at-live-action-robin-costu/1100-6455338/">Titans</a></em>, and animated <em>Young Justice: Outsiders</em> and <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/harley-quinn-animated-series-for-adults-in-the-wor/1100-6455136/">Harley Quinn</a></em> series. A date for the new platform&#8217;s release has not been announced.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Interestingly, this isn&#8217;t the only Superman-centric show that&#8217;s happening. <em><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/superman-prequel-show-krypton-could-include-green-/1100-6455992/">Krypton</a></em>, which is set before the superhero&#8217;s birth, premieres March 21 on Syfy.</p>
