Daily Planet (Earth-167)

"The multiverse has a way of aligning fates...It's written in the stars and in this book, or I wouldn't know that on this Earth, Clark Kent is Superman. Where I come from, that would be ridiculous. He can't see past his glasses." —Lex Luthor[src] This article is about the newspaper publisher set in the Smallville universe. This article only contains information relevant to the Arrowverse.

"Metropolis' greatest newspaper"

—The Daily Planet's tagline^[src]

The Daily Planet is a newspaper publisher in Metropolis.

History

At some point, the Daily Planet was given the recognition as Metropolis' greatest newspaper. After Clark Kent became the superhero known as Superman, he became front page news, with at least three headline stories: "Caped Wonder Stuns City," the "I Spent the Night with Superman" exclusive interview written by Clark's wife Lois Lane, and "Superman Saves the Day." By 2019, these newspaper headlines were placed in picture frames on the walls of Clark's Smallville home on the Kent Farm.
