DC: Ranking Every Upcoming Movie & TV Show By Anticipation

14. Krypton Season 1

DC Movies TV Justice League Flash Arrow
Warner Brothers/DC Entertainment

Much like Gotham is a Batman series without the Bat, Krypton will be a Superman series without Supes.

Set a couple of generations before Kal-El heads to Earth, the series will instead focus on his grandfather, Seg-El. With his house ostracised and shamed, he'll be fighting to restore his family's honour and help save the world.

Even without Superman, there's scope for this to be interesting - looking into the politics and social dynamics of Krypton, and doing some great world-building of the Man of Steel's home planet. David S. Goyer has created the show alongside Damian Kindler - the former has a rather hit-and-miss track record, so it's hard to predict how this'll go, but there's enough there to at least be interested in the pilot.

Air Date: TBA.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
