Superman prequel TV show Krypton is really happening

Krypton is about Kal-El's grandfather doing his thing on the ill-fated planet decades before the little one was born and the whole place went up in very dramatic flames. At a time when the family's name is in ruins, he must rebuild and at least live long enough to have a grandkid.

Frequent DC and Marvel writer David Goyer has been working on the project for a few years with the Syfy channel and now it has officially been given an order to go to the pilot stage. On top of that, Damien Kindler has been set as showrunner and Colm McCarthy is directing.
