FEATURE: 5 Reasons to Get Excited for METROPOLIS

I stand by that piece, which is why I was positively JAZZED yesterday when DC announced a prequel television series titled Metropolis, centered on the characters of Lois Lane and Lex Luthor. It’s coming from the producers of Gotham, so you can count out Amy Adams or Jesse Eisenberg. But there’s still great reason to be excited for this venture. Here’s my top five reasons to get excited for Metropolis… #5 – The Premise Here’s how DC pitches the series: Set in the wondrous and awe-inspiring City…

Director Nicole Kassell Tapped for WATCHMEN Pilot
While news for Damon Lindelof’s Watchmen series has been few and far between, more is beginning to drip as the show speeds into production.
