Since John Byrne's revamp of Superman in 1986, however, its location has usually been cited as being in Kansas.In the Smallville television series, Metropolis seems to be located in Kansas or in a neighboring state. In an interview, the creators of Smallville have stated that Metropolis is approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Smallville. In one episode, a letter is shown with the address "Metropolis, KA," suggesting the city is located in Kansas; however, the United States postal abbreviation for Kansas is "KS", not "KA."Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel grew up in Ohio, and it has been suggested that Cleveland is their original inspiration for Metropolis.In 1978's Superman: The Movie and its sequels, Metropolis is shown as being in (or taking the place of) New York, including depicting such New York landmarks as the Statue of Liberty and the World Trade Center.In the 1990s television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Chicago landmarks such as the John Hancock Center, the Tribune Tower and the Wrigley Building are easily identifiable.2006's Superman Returns places Metropolis in New York state, per preproduction images of the film's cars depicting New York license plates."So take from that what you will.  At one point, Metropolis and Gotham were represented as being across a huge bay from each other, during the 70s...but I think that was more to foster the World's Finest series, where Supes and Bats would team-up, every issue (well, from issue 71-323, anyhow). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
