Gotham Producers Talk Scrapped Metropolis Show About Lois Lane & Lex Luthor
The team behind Gotham shared insights into their abandoned plans for a Metropolis series and the reasons for its cancellation. Following the success of their DC series centered around Batman’s villains, producers John Stephens and Danny Cannon were working on a new show conceptually similar. This proposed series would delve into the city known for its association with Superman before his appearance, focusing instead on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. DC publicly announced this project in January 2018, but ultimately decided to terminate it by 2019.
