Kryponite came in many different colors and it affected Superman in different ways. Why show it exploding when the stories in this series have nothing to do with that. Besides, it was Jor-el and not his father that predicted the catastrophe and obviously from the despcription it's not about Jor-el at all.

Depends on the continuity. Post-COIE, kryptonite was very rare and only green existed in the period of comics from 1986 to early 2000s. There was red krytponite in one early 90s story, but it was ultimately revealed as fake conjured by Mxyzptlk's magic. All the color kryptonite didn't start coming back until the early 2000s.

Yeah I know....to me most post Crisis changes are all BS. Don`t get me talking about the new 52. Thats even worse.

I guess it's got all of us talking about a series on SyFy, so it has that going for it, I guess. But I don't see how they're going to save budget by not having superheroes, if this is based on the Krypton shown in MoS.

What next, Atlantis? Paradise Island? Actually, I bet they get some viewers for that last one.

You can bet on a Paradise Island show if the Wonder Woman movie does anything. You could build it around Wonder Girl and play into the increasingly prevalent theme of female action leads.

:lol: love it.

I think the Arrow show kind of stole the "beginning intro" format from Revenge, but the CW has now done it at least two more times, The Tomorrow People and now the Flash.

The Vampire Diaries did it before all of those shows.

Yes and no, being that show just sets up the premise, where in these newer shows have one distinct "hero" to root for. And they all start out (can't remember if Revenge did exactly, but Arrow, The Tomorrow People, and The Flash) with "my name is..." It is starting to become somewhat silly.

I had to dig this up, but here is Stefan's narration from the pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries:

"For over a century, I've lived in secret. Hiding in the shadows, alone in the world. Until now. Im a vampire and this is my story. "

David S. Goyer’s long-gestating Superman prequel Krypton is a go at Syfy. The cable network, which has been developing the project for more than a year-and-a-half, is finalizing a deal for a pilot order. Damian Kindler (Sleepy Hollow) has come on board as executive producer/showrunner, while Peaky Blinders helmer Colm McCarthy has been set to direct the pilot for Warner Horizon TV.

Goyer and Kindler are doing rewrites on the original pilot teleplay by Goyer & Ian Goldberg which was based on a story Goyer and Goldberg had penned together.

Would rather see The Kents. (The book is fantastic btw- definitely worth a read)

Plus, whatever sector of space Krypton is in would have it's own Green Lantern, wouldn't it?

Re: Krypton - (SyFy)
 
I'm guessing we'll see a lot of the interstellar DC races show up on Krypton. That is probably where I would go with it.

Expect a lot, and I mean a lot, of references to Rao.:lol:

So this will be part of the DC Movie Universe canon but won't be related to the Supergirl canon?

Wait, what? Why wouldn't it be part of the Supergirl/Arrowverse?

Hart to Hart and then Quantum Leap got them beat.

Those shows aren't in the same universe.

Re: Krypton - (SyFy)
 
How does that work out? Arrow and The Flash take place in the same universe and there was recently the crossover between The Flash and Supergirl. Kara may have not met Oliver yet but they should still be in the same universe. The only DC show I'm aware of that's separate currently is Gotham.

PhantomStranger 04-22-16 12:22 PM
Re: Krypton - (SyFy)
 
I'm guessing this show will be completely separate from all other DC shows, much like Gotham. So don't expect to see Kara's relatives from Supergirl show up on Krypton.

The Flash/Supergirl crossover had Flash travel to an alternate universe. They didn't recognize each other plus Flash rattled off a dozen superheroes from his universe and Kara didn't know of any of them. They did share some real world celebrities and pop culture though.

Technically they are part of the multiverse- so in a sense they are an extension of each other.

Krypton seems to be totally apart from that.

What? That's what multiverse means....characters don't ever have to meet, be part of or referenced in any of the normal storylines.

But they did, which makes it even more convoluted.

The characters from Krypton seem exist in its own continuity.

Pilot officially ordered today. If this gets picked up, my guess is they are targeting a 2017-18 premiere.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 04:39 PM.
