I'm doing a project for school, and I'm looking for The Daily Planet's exact address in metropolis via the actual comics. Does it exists? No wiki info. please.

Thanks!!

In Smallville the Daily Planet is located at 355, 1000 Broadway in Metropolis, Kansas.

@squalleon: Metropolis is located in NY in the comics, is it not?

Yeah, but exact address isn't known. The address I mentioned before is the only address known and it is from the smallville series.

Thanks guys. On wiki it says that its at the corner of fifth and concord lane; but I'm pretty sure finding the exact address, if it exists, will be pretty hard.

Wait so metropolis is a part of New York city? I thought it was a city of it's own as big as New York.

Gotham and Metropolis represent different parts of NY (the good and bad side) but they aren't NY. They are supposed to be near NY though and since DC never releashed a map this is all speculation.

Oh right, right. They are in new york, not new york city. But it really makes me wonder where is NY City compared to them.

@squalleon: Which is funny, because Gotham is just another name for New York (and Batman actually operated out of NYC in the original comics for about a year or so before Gotham was introduced) and Metropolis is just a type of city (New York is a Metropolis).

Indeed. Both those cities represent different sides of the real New York city. Gotham being the slums and bad neighborhoods and Metropolis being the cosmopolitic and majestic city.

Also we know that those two cities are close to each other and in opposite sides of a river (I think) to complete the contrast.

@squalleon: Well in DC Universe Online at least, they were across a lake (big body of water, seemed like a lake) from each other.

Sounds better.

@squalleon: I dunno, NYC does have the Hudson River. Who knows?

Gotham has an Island so that could be the equivalent of the Hudson River.

@squalleon: The more I think about it, the more I'd pay out the ass for a DC map. I'd love to see where in California Coast City is, where in Ohio Central City is, and if Star City and Seattle (my hometown) are actually one in the same. And that's not even touching on the Gotham and Metropolis stuff.

Weird that DC hasn't already published one. But this ambiguousness helps the writers a lot though, so they don't really have to worry about locations too.

@squalleon: That's actually a very valid point. I guess it's better that it remains ambiguous. No one has to worry about whether Red Hood can be in Gotham and then visit Tim Drake in NYC or not. They just do it (although that was written by Lobdell so I doubt it would've mattered if it was mapped out or not, lol).
