‘Superman’ inspired ‘Metropolis’ hard enamel pin. Roughly 3.2cm by 2.5cm (1.2in by 0.9in). This is an original design, there is nothing like it! Perfect for every Superman and DC Comics fan!
Superman is one of the most famous fictional characters in pop culture, originally appearing in multiple DC comics that since then has been adapted for various media all over the globe including live action and animated films, many televisions series, quite a few toy lines and multiple video games.
Superman is the formidable alias of sensible, nerdy journalist Clark Kent. Superman was born on the alien planet Krypton and given the name Kal-El. As a baby, his parents place him in a small spaceship and send him to Earth in order to protect him from the planet’s imminent destruction. He is found and adopted by an American couple, Martha and Jonathan Kent, who give him the name Clark Kent and raise him on a farm in a town called Smallville. There he discovers that he holds various superhuman abilities including flight, superhuman strength, enhanced hearing, heat vision, super speed, being bulletproof and many more. The Kent Family decide that with these powers, Clark should use them for good, in a way that benefits humanity. He grows up and moves to a city named Metropolis where he gets a job as a reporter at the Daily Planet. He becomes a costumed, crime-fighting hero, known as Superman, with the intention of protecting the people of Metropolis from a variety of villains including Brainiac, Zod, Bizarro, Doomsday and his archenemy Lex Luthor. Can he manage to thwart these threats to Metropolis while keeping his real identity secret? Can this caped crusader stay the ultimate symbol of truth, justice and hope?
‘Metropolis’ is Superman’s base of operations and where Clark Kent resides. This famous fictional city also includes the Daily Planet building that Clark works at. With this iconic building silhouette in this Metropolis skyline, accompanied with a flying superman, all in the icon blue associated with the franchise, this pin is absolutely quintessential for all Superman fans!

‘Arrow’ is an American superhero television series that acts as a modern retelling of the Green Arrow, a DC character featured in many comic books and graphic novels. This show also served as the gateway to what the fans refer to as the ‘Arrowverse’ (also known as the CW Multiverse or CWverse) which is a television franchise that also currently includes Flash, Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow to name a few.
Spoiled billionaire playboy Oliver Queen is missing and presumed dead after a storm shipwrecks the boat he was on. However, it turns out that he never died… Instead he managed to find his way onto a mysterious, uncharted island in the North China Sea. For five years, he was stranded in this cruel purgatory surrounded by unknown evils. When he returns home, his family and friends find that the person they lost isn’t the one the got back. He’s a changed man, much more than they realise. Oliver returned home with a mission to rid his city of the crime and corruption that his family has ignored for years, sheltered by their wealth. Armed with a bow and a quiver full of arrows, his weapon of choice, he becomes a secret vigilante with the help of former soldier John Diggle and skilled hacker and I.T. expert Felicity Smoak. Will the war on crime that Oliver started make a difference? What happens when Oliver’s past, the five years on the island, chases him down?
‘You have failed this city’ is a reoccurring phrase used mainly by Oliver Queen throughout the entirety of the show. In his hooded archer persona, he uses it to confront evildoers and call them out for their actions and the results they’ve had in in the city. With Oliver’s hooded silhouette and this iconic quote written in green on a dark silver arrowhead, we could think of nothing better to celebrate this character and the show as a whole!
