Superman is the most iconic and recognizable character in comics history, and today Kal-El celebrates his 80th birthday. April 18th, 1938 marks the first appearance of The Last Son of Krypton in Action Comics #1 and is celebrated across the infinite universes as good ol’ Clark’s natal day. We figured we’d pool our thoughts and […]

SYFY’s new Superman prequel series Krypton is just around the corner, and we’re learning more about what other notable DC personalities we may see on the series. During this morning’s DC Comics presentation at South by Southwest (SXSW), there was some talk about just such a thing. During the Q&A portion of the DC Press Breakfast […]

I will start off by saying if you didn’t like Man of Steel, you maybe possibly won’t have a good time with SyFy’s Krypton. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good enough show on its own, because it does have promise. Fans of the current CW slew of DC Comics based shows may find this one […]

Despite numerous rebrandings over its 25-year history, the Syfy channel really is trying. Earlier this year, a mysterious trailer for a pre-Superman TV series called Krypton appeared online, quickly dismissed as a “fan thing” for about a month before Syfy confirmed its authenticity. And today it was announced that Blake Ritson (Da Vinci’s Demons, Upstairs Downstairs) […]

SyFy Network rebrands (again) and officially orders series “Krypton”

Man of Steel had a polarizing effect on Superman fans of all ages; Krypton and a brief history of the House of El specifically.  One of the most enlightened people in the universe are just bad terraformers? Jor-El likes to run around in his underwear?  Writer David S. Goyer gave us a slightly different backstory […]

After what one could argue was a pretty solid first season, the jury was out as to whether or not freshman DC Comics tv series Supergirl would be picked up for a second season on CBS. Melissa Benoist admirably took on the red cape and boots of Kal-El’s lost cousin Kara, and despite less than subtle […]

Sometimes, it feels like there can never be too much of a good thing.  The current saturation of Superhero media though, I dunno if we as fans can weather the storm. The news today is that David S. Goyer’s long rumored Man Of Steel prequel series Krypton has at long last gotten a series order from the folks […]

Remember that thing we told you guys about back in October that David S. Goyer was possibly thinking about working on a tv series about pre Man Of Steel Krypton? It looks like we were correct about it, and that the series is currently starting development over at SyFy.  The confirmation of this comes from SyFy […]

While this topic is still pretty deep in rumor territory, it would appear that multiple sites and sources are calling this a done deal.  Man Of Steel Writer/producer David S. Goyer MAY be working on a television series about the home planet of the House of El before the great cataclysm.  Which would be interesting, because […]
