"No, Superman doesn't live here. This is a completely different city. It has shining glass towers and seedy back alleys, just as you would expect, but recently it has been set apart by its growing population of Supers. It also has a reputation for housing strange wonders like mole people and underground catacombs. The more that flock to Metropolis, the more mayhem that ensues!"
