History

Since the arrival of Superman, Metropolis' maintenance budgets had quadrupled due to the collateral damage from his battles.

In 2010, Superman prevented a nuclear meltdown in Metropolis from the Bakerline Nuclear Power Station, saving millions of people.

Sometime in 2015, Lex Luthor turned Earth's sun red in an act of eco-terrorism directed at Superman, inducing mass panic within the city, among other places.

In November 2015, Metropolis hosted the ceremony for the Siegel Award for Women in Media.
