deadline.com/2014/12/krypton-series-syfy-david-goyer-ian-goldberg-1201315955/‘Krypton’ Series In Works At Syfy From David Goyer & Ian Goldberg Syfy and Warner Horizon Television have teamed for Krypton, a one-hour drama about Superman’s grandfather set at the fictional planet. Years before the Superman became a superhero, 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. The planet was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and fist featured in a 1938 DC comic. Krypton, now in development, is being executive produced by David S. Goyer (Constantine) and Ian Goldberg (Once Upon A Time). Goldberg is writing the pilot teleplay based on a story conceived by Goyer & Goldberg. Krypton joins another Warner Bros/DC drama project from the same mythology, Supergirl, which is in development at CBS. The planet also was referenced in the studio’s Superman origin series Smallville. In addition to Krypton and Supergirl, WBTV has two other dramas in development that are based on DC properties, Lucifer and Global Frequency at Fox, as well as pilot Titans at TNT. They are part of a push by the studio, which has five DC series on the air, Gotham at Fox, Constantine at NBC as well as Arrow, The Flash and the upcoming iZombie at the CW. s1029.photobucket.com/user/Simonlove69/media/krypton_zpsf6887ff8.jpg.html

Goyer and SyFy are developing a new television series based on the Superman mythology. "Krypton" will follow the Man of Steel's grandfather on his home planet of Krypton, years before the planet's destruction. "Once Upon A Time" scribe Ian Goldberg is set to write the script based on a story co-developed with Goyer, a veteran of multiple DC Comics-based live-action adaptations. Both will serve as executive producers. The television drama will come from Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics. The series seems to take its cue from "Gotham," the Batman series without Batman that focuses on a young Bruce Wayne, as well as Detective James Gordon and the officers of the Gotham City Police Department. Yet while "Gotham" has the advantage of being able to introduce any number of iconic Batman villains as younger versions of themselves, "Krypton's" timing and setting would certainly make it challenging to do the same for much of Superman's rogues gallery, barring Kryptonian or intergalactic villains like Zod or Brainiac. "Krypton" is the latest in a series of DC Comics-based projects to find a home on television. In addition to this season's debut series "The Flash," "Gotham," "Constantine" and the midseason premiering "iZombie," future series include "Titans," in development at TNT; and "Supergirl," in development at CBS. A "Preacher" pilot has also been ordered at AMC.
