    So this is happening. I doubt SyFy can swing the budget to make it even remotely good, but you never know.

    I am just imagining how this came to be.

    SyFy: Can we do a tv show about Superman.
    Warner Bros: Hell No! We are not letting you anywhere near Superman.
    SyFy: How about a show about Superman's Dad?
    Warner Bros: Too close to Superman.
    SyFy: How about his grandfather?
    Warmer Bros: Only if you don't make a references to Jor'El's generation or later.
    SyFy: Deal! Yay, we got the right to call a planet Krypton!

    ... huh.

    I mean, I saw that Gotham Begins trailer, but I didn't think they'd take it seriously.

    Honestly, Gotham is itself failing to captivate me at the moment. I just don't really see what's there to expand on.

    We know basically nothing about Krypton. We barely know anything about Jor El, let alone his father. Apparently this guy is going to restore the honor of the name El and bring order to Krypton - which will be destroyed in a couple of generations, so whoop de do. I just don't see how this will be interesting in any way.

    A series about Krypton's days tens of thousands of years ago, their exploration of the cosmos, kind of a Star Trek vibe while dealing with particular DC entities (meetings with the Green Lanterns, for example) and featuring events that might call forward to events of today might be interesting, but I doubt they'd have the budget for that anyway - and if they did, I'd rather see a proper Green Lantern TV show handling that area.

    This is a sentence I never once thought I'd say but since it's not on the CW Im not really interested. They're the only ones who've managed to not just pull off superhero television but make them awesome. Being on SyFy means it's going to be campy crap and get cancelled inside one season.
