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.

LOL! "Hope and equality"! We all know how that worked out...

This kind of smells like Caprica.

This kind of smells like Caprica.

Everybody likes 1930's gangsters with machine guns, and ROBOTS! lol

This kind of smells like Caprica.

The correct spelling would be Crapica.

Syfy sees how well Gotham is doing, and is trying to do the same thing. Problem is, the dynamics of Batman are completely different than Superman, and is why Batman does great in series or movie form, but Superman falls flat beyond an intro story.

I could see this going either way. They have a pretty clean slate except for the end game on what to do here. I will certainly check it out.

COULD THESE DC COMICS CHARACTERS MAKE THE TRIP TO "KRYPTON"? http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/could-these-dc-comics-characters-make-the-trip-to-krypton

Spoiler

Way back in December 2014, reports first surfaced that "Krypton" -- a prequel to the Superman mythos, not unlike current Batman-inspired Fox series "Gotham" -- was in development as a series at Syfy. Last week, news hit that the show is near a pilot order at the cable network, the first major update on the David S. Goyer-produced show in more than a year.Of course, the natural question for comic book fans is, which characters might make an appearance on the show? It's been said that the series will focus on Superman's grandfather, but the window seems open for some more recognizable DC Comics heroes and villains from any timeline to play a part -- similar to all the Bat-villains that have already been seen on "Gotham." The cosmic setting also expands the show's potential, even after CBS' "Supergirl" has debuted characters like Non and Martian Manhunter. Though there's still a long road between now and the show possibly nabbing a spot on Syfy's schedule, right now feels like a natural time to speculate on which DC characters may make the trip to "Krypton."
