Superman's Hometown

Metropolis, Illinois

Metropolis is the the "Hometown of Superman," celebrating its local hero every possible way it can. The local bank is "home of super financial services." The town newspaper calls itself The Planet. A sign in the grocery store informs customers: "Just as Superman stands for truth, justice and the American Way, Food World stands for quality, convenience and friendly service."

Souvenirs are available everywhere -- our favorites are the Superman piatas. The Chamber of commerce used to give free packets of Kryptonite to children -- until lawyers from DC Comics read about it on this website and made the town stop (Metropolis failed to submit the "Kryptonite" for approval by DC, and the chunks presented a choking hazard for children anyway).
