http://www.dccomics.com/blog/2018/01/30/announcing-metropolis-dcs-newest-live-action-tv-series

Metropolis will follow Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate the world of fringe science and expose the citys dark and bizarre secrets. Airing exclusively on DCs upcoming digital service, it promises to show us a wondrous and awe-inspiring City of Tomorrow, before the emergence of Superman, and establish much of the Man of Steels world leading up to his arrival.

this doesn't seem like a great idea

They could just make a straight Superman or Batman show, but I guess that's crazy talk.

yes. its about superman's grandparents. it is strikingly similar to a show called Caprica that was a prequel to Battle Star Galactica. it's almost exactly the same idea, just with superman instead of Cylons

I don't understand why WB is sooooo hesitant and closefisted with those characters. Supergirl's shown that you can have a Superman show with reasonable effects.

Every time I see something like this, it makes it harder and harder to feel bad for DC because they do it to themselves.

Lex tries to kill Supes b/c he stole his woman. I thought this sounded funny but now that I think about it, this might be how they set up the show.

Which was also super dumb.

WB has so many stupid fucking rules for their TV shows. Arrow has a Deadshot that looks and acts completely differently from the one in Suicide Squad (up to and including being a different race)? Better stop them from ever using him again.

I feel like Lex can be interesting on his own. His insane obsession with Superman is the shallow part of his personality. Not going to go out of my way to watch this on some new digital service though.

Gotham, Krypton, now this BS ?, I think DC/WB is trying to fuck up on purpose.

Smallville made more sense as it was about Clark Kent before he dones the cape, it built up logically and was never trying to be a Superman show, it was true to being a show that was before Clark becomes Superman.

Gotham is good.

But it started being good when it decided to ignore its boring-ass premise and just became a Batman show that doesn't have Batman.

Are you saying you didnt like Deadshot because they changed his race? They dont have to follow the continuity of a certain media portrayal.

My complaint is that despite Arrow's version being so completely different that they aren't even the same race, Arrow was told they could no longer use the character because SS was coming out.

The same is true of Amanda Waller and Captain Boomerang.

And Deathstroke, for that matter.

It's supposedly the same group that did Gotham. So take that as you will.
