Superman Prequel ‘Krypton’ TV Series Lands at SyFy
Thanks Gotham!
Superman Prequel ‘Krypton’ TV Series Lands at Syfy From David Goyer Read More: 'Krypton' TV Series with David Goyer Lands At Syfy | http://screencrush.com/krypton-tv-se...ckback=tsmclip We did it, everyone! First ‘Smallville’ took us back to a teenage Clark Kent’s evolution into the Man of Steel, then ‘Gotham’ explored the origins of a prepubescent Batman. Now Syfy is officially upping the ante with writer David Goyer to create a ‘Krypton’ TV series, exploring the origin’s origin’s origin of Superman’s grandpappy! Granted, we’d heard of the potential for Goyer’s ‘Krypton’ series before, though at the time few details were known beyond the prequel’s title, and its presumable implications. Now, Syfy’s order has detailed that Goyer and ‘Once Upon A Time’’s Ian Goldberg will executive produce the project, which goes beyond Jor-El to delve even further into Superman’s history: Years before the Superman legend we know, the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This series follows The Man of Steel’s grandfather as he brings hope and equality to Krypton, turning a planet in disarray into one worthy of giving birth to the greatest Super Hero ever known. I’ll be frank, the potential for a ‘Krypton’ TV series probably exceeds that of something like ‘Gotham,’ in that an alien world with unfamiliar characters plays right into Syfy’s wheelhouse, and wouldn’t work so hard to beat us over the head with references to future DC heroes and villains. And while it seemed like CBS’ ‘Supergirl’ had us covered for Warner Bros. sidestepping its cinematic universe to put a Kryptonian hero on TV, Syfy would no doubt have considerable investment in bringing its own DC drama to life. Just so long as we don’t have Brainiac as a tortured adolescent. Or Jim Gordon as a hotshot rookie in the Krypton Police Department. You scoff, but they’ll do it. They’re making a TV series about Superman’s grandpa. By god, they’ll do it. What do you think? Could Syfy’s ‘Krypton’ exceed ‘Gotham’ in the superhero origin arms race? Can ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash’ come and play too, because time travel, or something? |

Syfy has been missing on a lot of their new shows. I have a feeling this would be worse than Defiance..

Why would anyone be interested in Krypton before Kal El is born?

I could see some interest in Jor El and Zod, but the grandfather?

I think they're getting ever closer to "licensing" the character to both Fox and Disney so that they can earn something from the rights. |
