The new DC streaming service has ordered a Superman prequel series called "Metropolis" that will focus on Lois Lane and Lex Luther before Superman arrived in the city. TVfanatic.com reports.

I think a show about Lex Luthor would be cool if it was like House of Cards (incidentally starring another actor that played Luthor).

Isn't Krypton the Superman prequel show? Wow, DCEU just keeps rearranging the deck chairs.

This idea is TERRIBLE! What happens when everyone prefers TV Lex to Eisenberg? Let the petitions and whining begin.......

I personally think it is a waste of a TV show, there are heaps of DC characters that deserve their own TV shows more and we already had 'Smallville' and have 'Krypton' on the show but I will watch it 'cause I am curious to see what their version of Lex Luthor is going to be like and some sites have said it could be based on the Lois Lane prequel comic book series that showed how Lois Lane become a famous reporter at the Daily Planet before Superman arrived.

This is dumb, also proof that these comic book shows are getting out of hand.

When DC announced they had plans for more live action TV shows on the DC Network after 'Titans' not one single person said they wanted a prequel show about Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. It is the worst idea I have heard since the cancelled 'Alfred' spinoff show from 'Gotham'

This won't get me to subscribe to the DC streaming network. Why are they even doing that? If they made a WB streaming network with all WB properties including DC (like Disney is doing) I might subscribe, but DC stuff alone probably won't do it for me.

The next show will be After Smallville. It will be a slice of life series about Jonathan and Martha Kent after Clark leaves for Metropolis. When that series is over we'll get a prequel to that called Kent. It will be a series starring a teenage Jonathan Kent. It'll be about his family living in the quiet town of Smallville. Then a new family, the Clarks, moves in and things start heating up.
Every show will be Superman based, but Superman will never show up.

This is dumb, also proof that these comic book shows are getting out of hand. I completely agree... and I even love comic book media! When we used to get a superhero film or tv show every few years, they were something special... But now, there a half dozen new ones every year... ( Wait, Metropolis won't even be a "Superhero" show without Superman!) There are so many of these now, that they end up being made too fast, and the quality of the finished product is terrible. The studios are stomping the genre into the ground. I'm losing interest fast, and it's getting to the point, I don't even want to watch them any more. I would rather watch some other genre! I am not a fan of westerns, but it's getting to the point, I would rather watch a western, just because it would be something different to see...
