| Origin |
| Dubbed
the "City of Tomorrow" by its residents, Metropolis holds the
promise of opportunity which is a model for the nation, but with
opportunity comes crime. Although not as notorious as its
coastal neighbor
Gotham
City, it is home to some of the most dangerous high-tech criminals and
criminal organizations in the world.
Always in a state of change,
Metropolis has one constant, the protection of the worlds greatest hero,
Superman. |
