Also where it's going to be shown influences the approach to the show, the Arrowverse show are more about trying to hook in casual fans, those who will simply watch the show because it's on and it looks interesting enough, they don't care about the comic lore or anything , this is why you will get things like 2 characters being merged or it being another variation on an already established version of the character, example of 1 being Vandal Savage, they took the name of a better known villain but gave him a lesser known ones history, example 2 being Ra's Al Gul being just a redo of sorts for the most part of Batman Begins interpretation of the character.
The shows on the DC streaming service aren't appealing to the mainstream fans and most casual fans wont drop $5-10 a months to watch a few episodes a month, that's going to be the more hardcore fans who have been waiting years for live action versions of these characters, and as such they are the ones who will get fucked off if DC fuck the characters up, so there's a reason for them to get the shit right.

Well the writers and producers are not the ones working for the Arrowverse. So that's one good thing. Another is the show is more closely looked at by DC, who have a vested interest in getting these characters right.  |

Now I'm curious as Hell to see what it is! A world without the Justice League could make for a lot of interesting stories.

Is anybody excited about this show? Why do we need another show about Superman before he becomes Superman? They haven't been able to get Superman right in the DCEU so their bright idea is to make shows about him without him in them instead? What is going on here? Who cares about Lois and Lex's lives before Superman? You're all talking about Titans so this thread shows nobody cares about Metropolis.  |

It could work. I would love a show where the main character is Lois Lane, especially if their is no Superman to overshadow her. Think Kolchak the Nightstalker but with a hot, feisty woman.

While I agree with you that the last thing we need is yet another prequel serious, especially one involving the Super-family, but this has Lois Lane! Lois Lane! She's one of the best and best known female characters out there. That more then apologizes for dipping back into this pool yet again!

Yeah, there's 80 years of material to draw from, so there shouldn't be a shortage of ideas. I think 10 episodes a season is just perfect. More killer, less filler. Unlike the Arrowverse shows which seem to have a lot of unnecessary padding in order to reach 26 episodes.

DC Comics' Metropolis TV Series Being Redeveloped
Today DC and Warner Bros.' upcoming "DC Universe" streaming service was officially announced, along with the lineup of highly-anticipated original series debuting on the service, which include the live-action Titans series and the return of Young Justice. However, one title that was noticeably absent form the DC Universe programming slate was Metropolis, the prequel series whose production was being touted heavily, earlier this year. According to the DC Universe breakdown over at Deadline, Metropolis has been pulled from the slate, and will be "redeveloped" by the studio. That's a big reconsideration, as Metropolis had already been given a 13-episode order and was headed straight to series. In case this is the first time you're hearing about the project, here's the original premise for what Metropolis was going to be: "Set in the so-called City of Tomorrow before the arrival of Superman, Metropolis follows Lois Lane and Lex Luthor as they investigate the world of fringe science and expose the city’s dark and bizarre secrets." No telling what the redeveloped idea will entail. Metropolis was set to have its pilot written and directed by Gotham alums John Stephens and Danny Cannon, which is why the premise sounded so similar to that alternative take on Batman's origin. Metropolis would've similarly used major supporting characters from a superhero's mythos to fill an entire show about life in the superhero's home city before the hero ever arrived. Its remained a controversial approach to DC material since Gotham first aired, and with show's ratings showing signs of cooling off, one has to wonder if it's still an approach that DC wants to go with. The other thing that we have to wonder is a factor is the other DC Superman prequel show that's on right now: Krypton. Fan response to Krypton has generally been good, so one has to wonder if that response may have prompted changes in Metropolis. While all of the DC Universe shows have (so far) been presented as standalones, we also have to wonder if more interconnectivity may be in the plans, which would also force something like Metropolis to undergo some creative changes. comicbook.com/dc/2018/05/02/metropolis-tv-series-delayed-2019/

Well, That probably explains why I haven't been able to find any more updates about the show for the last few months when there have been a lot of updates about 'Titans' on the movie and TV show news sites I look at. I am not that surprised at this point and while I plan on watching it when it airs and is available to watch here in Australia I think there have been too many Superman prequel TV shows and would rather see them focus on some other superheroes for a change which is why I am far more interested in seeing 'Swamp Thing' now 'cause it is going to be something new and different. Hopefully they work things out for the future though.

I was really looking forward to Metropolis because it wasn't a Superman prequel show. It was a Lois Lane series and that excited me because she's one of my favorite characters in comics and deserves a show all her own.
Hopefully the redevelopment doesn't change that.

Well both sound similar to The X-Files and Kolchak the Nightstalker. There's only six type of stories out there and this is apparently a popular one.

What is a Kolchak the Nightstalker? Is that a vampire or a werewolf and hot and feisty? That has my attention.  Who are they getting to play Lois Lane this time? |
