The description of Metropolis brings to mind the WB/CW series Smallville, which was famously derided by many comic book fans as being a Superman show without Superman.
Metropolis is the fourth new series announced for DC Comics’ streaming service and the second live-action series after the upcoming Titans.
Metropolis, a prequel TV series based on the classic mythology of Superman, has been given a 13 episode order by Warner Bros. Television.
It remains to be seen, however, if comic book fans will embrace this new spin on the Superman mythology.
