So here it is, another brand new Superman live action prequel series is set to hit our screens in 2019. Titled Metropolis this will be set in a City of Tomorrow and features Lois Lane and Lex Luthor among other characters and can only imagine what we will get to see before Superman arrives to the city. Imagine like the Gotham TV show without Batman which is going very well on developing the early characters and hope something like this is what Metropolis will be like but with all our favourites from the Superman stories. Metropolis will be streamed through an upcoming DC Comics streaming service with other shows like the upcoming live action Titans.
