Trivia
- A trio of clocks within the JSA Metropolis Wing reveals that Gotham City, Metropolis and Atlantis exist in different timezones.
- Many of Metropolis' streets and bridges are named after notable contributers to the DC Comics mythos; Bessolo Boulevard: George Reeves (Bessolo was Reeve's original legal name before entering films and becoming the lead actor in the Adventures of Superman 1950's television series); Collyer Street: Bud Collyer (Lead actor in the Adventures of Superman 1940's radio series); Coates Boulevard: Phyllis Coates (Actress who played Lois Lane in the Adventures of Superman 1950's television series)
- Bessolo Boulevard and Topaz Lane are two of the oldest thoroughfares in Metropolis.
- 1938 Sullivan Lane is the home address of Clark Kent and Lois Lane after they married; the apartment was a wedding gift to the couple by Bruce Wayne, who owned the building. The address is actually a tribute to the year Superman first appeared in comics on June, 1938.
- 344 Clinton Street was the Metropolis address of Clark Kent before he was married.
- Like Gotham, Metropolis is based on New York City.
