User blog:XD1/Syfy Confirms Krypton Series Moving Forward

The rumors that DC plans to expand its TV empire even further were confirmed today. The official announcement dropped that Syfy is indeed moving forward with Krypton, a new series that will explore the history of Superman's doomed birth planet. The Warner Horizon project aims to follow Kal-El's grandfather, Seyg-El, although it is unknown at this time whether or not the SyFy series will use this name - which was originally intended as a tribute to Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel.


 * Official description:

'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.'

Originally conceived by screenwriter David S. Goyer (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel, Constantine) and Ian Goldberg, Goyer is attached as executive producer, while Goldberg will pen the pilot episode.
