'Krypton' Series Headed to TV


The rumored 'Man of Steel' prequel series looks to be headed to tv, with an order for a pilot episode very close to being finalized. The series will air on SyFy and will be spearheaded by David Goyer (Man of Steel).

A brief synopsis of the potential series was released today:

"Krypton will be set two generations before the destruction of the legendary Man of Steel’s home planet. It follows Superman’s grandfather — whose House of El was ostracized and shamed — as he fights to redeem his family’s honor and save his beloved world from chaos."

Goyer also said they'll be "treating Krypton like it’s a historical piece. We look to previous cultures on Earth to model what that would be like. We scratched the surface in the film and, for me, that was the allure. I was always fascinated, as a kid, with the books about Krypton and they’ve only shaded in a tiny bit, so we’ll learn about the politics of the world. We’ll learn about the culture, the art, all the different guilds."

Are you excited for a potential 'Krypton' series?
