New TV Show Titled KRYPTON In Development; David Goyer Attached

After breaking news that WB was developing a Supergirl TV show and that Fox was developing an X-Men TV show, both of which were later confirmed by other sources, Bleeding Cool is now reporting that a show titled Krypton is in active development with David Goyer attached.

Details about the potential show are scarce, but the name implies that the show may be pre-Superman, similiar to how Fox's smash hit Gotham is pre-Batman, and may involve the House of El, possibly Brainiac too. Goyer, as many of you know, is no stranger to Superman's world, having written the screenplay for 2013's Man of Steel, which spent extensive time on Krypton and showed the alien world prior to its destruction.

Although, Krypton would likely be WB's first (or second depending on when Supergirl arrives) Superman tale that would most likely not feature Superman in any capacity, it wouldn't be their first pre-Superman story, already having produced the Emmy-winning Smallville, which ran for 10 seasons and starred Tom Welling as Clark Kent and Erica Durance as Lois Lane.

This would mark Goyer's second DC Comics television adaptation after NBC's Constantine. In addition to his TV commitments, Goyer will also be busy for the next few years with his commitments to Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League Parts One & Two.

@TheManFromMars It's only three episodes and it's gonna be on Machinema. Static Shock is gonna be digital, too, so it's not THAT much of a monopoly.

''also having commitments with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League Parts One & Two.'' - Umm, he has zero commitments because Chris Terrio is doing the scripts now you [frick]tard.

McGee - 10/27/2014, 7:49 AM

Starfox - 10/27/2014, 7:49 AM

They might as well have Supergirl and Krypton Crossover like Arrow and The Flash.

YeezusWept - 10/27/2014, 7:50 AM

thewonderer - 10/27/2014, 7:51 AM

@marvel72

*Sees Agents of SHIELD on that list*

ALegendaryPanda - 10/27/2014, 7:52 AM

If it's the same Krypton as Man of Steel I'm definitely watching this!

YeezusWept - 10/27/2014, 7:52 AM

20 bucks says a teenaged Darkseid will show up. Kids will pick on him and call him "Darky". He'll also have a pocket flashlight that he nicknamed "omega".

ElShumway - 10/27/2014, 7:52 AM

BTW here is an interview with Ray Fisher (CYBORG) that I haven't seen posted on this site yet, so go crazy:

''Chris Terrio who is writing the script is very involved with his actors. '' - RF.

FordEl - 10/27/2014, 7:53 AM

The whole cultire of Krypton theyve set up in Man of Steel was interesting so Im glad we might be getting more.

JatevinM - 10/27/2014, 7:53 AM

Supergirl needs to be set in the same universe as Arrow and Flash.

Nick56 - 10/27/2014, 7:54 AM

Show has a lot of potential. Don't get why Goyer gets so much hate, he has pretty much nailed all the DC properties he has worked on.

FordEl - 10/27/2014, 7:54 AM

@ElShumway

Thts good to hear. Chris Terrio will no doubt do a great job

yossarian - 10/27/2014, 7:54 AM

I barely have time to watch shit I am interested in.
