We haven’t known much yet about the creative talents involved with the Metropolis TV series beyond John Stephens and Danny Cannon… but now, a small puzzle piece, at least, is known.
Writer/producer David Paul Francis revealed on Twitter that he is moving from Krypton to Metropolis… yes, he’s worked on both Super-shows within the past year! His super-powered adventure started, however, with Powers in 2015, the adaptation of the Brian Michael Bendis comics that sadly was really hard to find and sell to new viewers, since “you can watch it on your Playstation” wasn’t in every person’s vocabulary. We’re assuming Francis’ next move will be to Supergirl or the inevitable Smallville reboot that will come in a few years. (Kidding. There are no plans for a Smallville reboot right now.)
You can find and follow David Paul Francis on Twitter at @dpfrancis1985. If the Metropolis show is now staffing writers, hopefully that means we’ll have more news about it soon!
Metropolis, featuring the city of tomorrow before Superman arrived and instead focusing on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor, is due to arrive on DC Comics’ streaming service in 2019.
