Turns out that Krypton rumour from back in October was on the money. It's now been officially announced that Syfy and Warner Horizon Television have teamed with David S. Goyer (Constantine) and Ian Goldberg (Once Upon a Time) to produce a Superman prequel series set on the Man Of Steel's home planet. We'd assumed this show would focus on Kal El's parents but it will actually deal with his grandfather's attempts to bring peace to Krypton. Here is the official logo and a brief synopsis.



"From Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics, Krypton takes place years before the Superman legend we know, when the House of El was shamed and ostracized. This drama 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."


Krypton joins the ever-growing list of DC-based TV projects in development, including Supergirl and TNT's Titans, which THR seem to confirm will include the characters of Nightwing, Starfire, and Raven. Geoff Johns has also revealed via Twitter that the Titans pilot is set to shoot next year. What do you guys think of this news?

Seriously? You already did a Superman prequel!!! It was Smallville!!! DO SOMEONE ELSE! DO WONDER WOMAN! This is pointless. I am not supporting this show. This a Superman response to Gotham when Gotham was a BATMAN RESPONSE TO SMALLVILLE! This is a waste! Out of every possible show you could do, why waste your money on Krypton?

I know that this is a different network than Smallville (CW) and Gotham (Fox) but I stand by my words.

I really hate how they are whoring out DC TV properties. Arrow, Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Supergirl, Teen Titans, Krypton.

This genre isn't done justice with TV level production value, TV budgets, or TV acting...these are all a disgrace to the characters. Sorry to everyone who loves Arrow and Flash, but CW level programming just doesn't do it for me.

Also, didn't they go into detail on Krypton in Smallville?

misterbatfleck- is that real? if so then a huge yes that will be awesome, but would it be part of the arrowverse because that means we can see deathstroke fight the teen titans.

I grew up with the 2003 Teen Titans show so I hope we get a roster similar to that maybe with other members like Kid Flash or Speedy/Arsenal.
