Metropolis, a
prequel TV series based on the classic mythology of Superman, has
been given a 13 episode order by Warner Bros. Television. The series
was reportedly picked up after being under consideration at Fox
Broadcasting for some time, where it was being floated as a companion
piece to the Batman prequel TV series Gotham.
Set
in the titular city in the days before Superman's existence was known
to the world, the show-summary of Metropolis suggests
the series will follow in the footsteps of supernatural investigation
series such as The
X-Files and
Fringe.
Metropolis will
team reporter Lois Lane and scientist Lex Luthor as they
"investigate the world of fringe science and expose the city’s
dark and bizarre secrets."
According
to Variety, Metropolis
is scheduled to begin filming in late 2018 and will premiere
on DC Comics' upcoming digital streaming service sometime in
2019. John Stephens and Danny Cannon - executive producers on Gotham
- will
also serve as the executive producers on Metropolis.
Cannon will also direct the first episode from a teleplay by
Stephens, from a story created by both writers.
Metropolis
is the fourth new series announced for DC Comics' streaming service
and the second live-action series after the upcoming Titans.
The new service, which has not been given an official name as of yet,
has also promised a new animated series based on the character of
Harley
Quinn and
a third-season of the much-beloved Young
Justice
animated series. Other offerings on the service have yet to be
confirmed, but it will likely include reruns of the many live-action
and animated series based on DC Comics' properties, along with
these brand new shows.
It
remains to be seen, however, if comic book fans will embrace this new
spin on the Superman
mythology. While DC Comics' various TV show are performing quite
well at present (with only a network edict stopping them from
dominating The CW's schedule completely),
that wasn't always the case. 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. Then again, with pre-production on the series just starting
and no cast or stories announced yet, it is too soon for anyone to
rush to judgement on Metropolis.
In
any either case,
it
should prove interesting to see how the project develops over
the coming year.
Metropolis
doesn't have an official premiere date yet.
