Smallville: "Splinter"

[Hand of Evil]

Why have I always thought that Metropolis was DC's Chicago and Gotham was DC's NYC? Must just have been a misconception I picked up somewhere.

I think a lot of us had that one from the old days but it was never said until DC did a map showing their world...redrawing everything.

The impression we got here was that it was a normal rock that he'd coated with his, uh, "flesh". It was all silvery and shiny until he did his morphing trick at the end and dropped it, at which point it just looked like a dull stone.

Which implies that Fine could infect/absorb Clark into himself.

And I don't think Fine is the Eradicator (in the comics way). They seem to be using an origin similar to the Superman: TAS one for Brainiac (which is eons better than the DCU one). Wonder if ol' Brainy will still be a project of Jor-El's design...

Oh, true; I'd forgotten the name and didn't see the episode where he was a puddle of black goo at first. Braniac seems like a logical choice.

Would there exist an online version of this map?

A official one, no...a fan made, maybe.

Well, this was well played, the mixing of the illusion and what was real...was downright scary.

And since this Sweeps month, I expect the gaunlet to get throw around a bit.

I got meself an Atlas of the DC Universe (from the Mayfair DC Heroes RPG). I might look for it and scan the map of the USA.

Not that I've seen. There is a scene where Lana and Clark climb to the top of a water tower because you can see Metropilis from the top of it. Smallville is a farming exurb of Metropolis in the show, just far enough away that it's not a simple bedroom community it seems.

Metropolis in the comics is in Delaware there'bouts, not in New York state.

Okay, my mistake with Metropolis being in Delaware in the comics and not New York. Yet, Metropolis is obviously nearer Smallville now than it was in the earlier seasons. I really don't see Smallville as part of Metropolis.

I will see if I can find it but some intereating reading here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis_(Superman)

The Atlas to the DC Universe (online scans from it on this site) is about the only source we have for any maps save for city maps. Obviously, the DC Atlas is based on what DC told them but DC certainly isn't bound by it. The only official sources we have from DC that I know of are city maps for Gotham, Metropolis and Bludhaven (and an area map showing the relationship between Gotham and Bludhaven); if they've done any other actual maps I'm unaware of it. If someone knows differently, please cite the source so I can go get it!

Post-crisis and post-Zero-Hour, the location of some of those things changed. Coast City obviously isn't there anymore. Central City and Keystone City now sit across the river from each other instead of across dimensions. Same thing with Ivy Town and Calvin City.
