Syfy developing Superman prequel 'Krypton'Quote:  The world of Superman is headed back to TV. A Superman prequel series called Krypton from Man of Steel writer David S. Goyer has landed in development at Syfy. Here’s the pitch: “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.” Goyer was previously rumored to be working on such a project, but without a network or any details publicly attached. Goyer and Ian Goldberg (Once Upon a Time) will executive produce the project, with Goldberg writing a pilot script based on a story by both men. In addition to Man of Steel, Goyer’s credits include Starz’ Da Vinci’s Demons, NBC’s Constantine and the upcoming Man of Steel sequel Batman vs. Superman. The Krypton sequence of Man of Steel was some fans’ favorite part of the film, a mashup of sci-fi technology, dragon-riding fantasy and political intrigue. While Syfy has been on an ambitious roll lately, grabbing more high-profile and lavishly produced titles that may appeal to their core sci-fi audience. See Syfy plans to lure you back with these five shows.

Forty years ago I would've rejoiced. Now that Krypton is shorthand for cold, dark, and depressing... not so much.

I bet Stephen Amell (Arrow) wants to do a crossover.  Jim

It sounds like a really odd choice. I don't know how I feel about it.

Hmmm. Let's see. Well, us seeing the ten years before Superman actually put on a cape was very soapy and boring. Gotham is a fascinating look at Bruce Wayne way before he got interesting. Let's really push the envelope. If we look back at Krypton, we could see Jor El being all sciency and dealing with Zod ---but that actually sounds a lot more interesting than Smallville.
So let's turn the clock back even further to ten years BEFORE Jor El got interesting and watch his dad sort mail or whatever it was Grandpa El did for a living. Yeesh. Maybe it'll be fantastic but I couldn't less excited by yet another "lead up " series.

If this series is in continuity with "Smallville," I'm in.

SPOILER ALERT:
The planet blows up in the end, and everybody dies except for one baby.

I really liked the part in the movie where he flies. I'd like a weekly hourly drama of that please.
