Metropolis

**Metropolis** is one of the largest and most well-known cities on the American east coast in the United States, and is the adopted hometown of Metropolis' favorite son, Superman.

Metropolis is at the forefront of industrial and technological progress thanks to the contributions of the Luthor family and companies such as S.T.A.R. Labs and Steelworks.

Amongst the city's many iconic buildings is the Daily Planet; with its rotating golden globe of the world, and the LexCorp Tower; headquarters of industrialist Lex Luthor, which towers over the Metropolis cityscape like a ruler’s keep.
