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.”


Not sure about this.

Has no chance. Even if it is good they will cancel it

I wouldn't be able to get past the fact the planet was about to blow up and nothing they were doing mattered.

Pus, they're on their home planet, so they don't have super powers. They're just regular people. There isn't really anything very interesting about that.

It would be hugely interesting if it was the Krypton of the Silver Age. Now that Krypton is seen as a dark and depressing planet populated with criminals and assholes... not so much.

Full promo is out (YouTube)

That Earthman from the future? Adam Strange.

That red cape with an all yellow "S". Pure old-school Superman baby.

Who cares about Kryptonians? They just like in a generic sci fi environment and don't even have super powers. It'll get cancelled.

So Kryptonians have British accents, sounds fantastic.

What’s the appeal supposed to be?

No super powers? No superman? Is it a Jor El origin story. If so, that’s not really necessary.
