Planet Krypton is getting a TV show.

Batfire!

Wouldn't it be Fireman?

Either way.

Cave-Batman didn't make fire. But he did meet her. And Ice, and Guy Gardner.

And thanks to the wonders of time travel, Guy Gardner was able to get the snot literally beat out of him by not just one, but two Waynes!

"One punch...!"

Well, if this is real, maybe they could have the Green Lanterns because of the Sci-fi thing; something which Arrow and Flash have been teasing but regularly dodging.

And then transverse space and time to get punched out by Nightwing, the Batman of Krypton.

I like that idea someone had earlier about a themiscyra show...

Put it on HBO.

Wasn't a there an Amazon show with young Wonder Woman planned? Looks like it died, unfortunately...

Isn't HBO's premium "classiness" going to make them refrain from doing any comicbook stuff?

HBO used to have a Spawn series.

Ah.

A premium network budget would definitely suit a Krypton show than a big network.

Honestly if we were to get an HBO series based on a DC comic, I rather we get Sandman, or maybe a Kingdom Come Miniseries.

A mini-series for any of the big events like Crisis on Infinite Earths or even Flashpoint might work.

And the live-action adaptation of the DCAU, I always wanted.

IIRC way back in the Silver Age there were some stories seton Krypton featuring Jor-El as a Science Hero on a Raygun Gothic Krypton so it might work if they did a variation on that. Raygun Gothic Krypton wouldn't work nowadays except as camp but maybe keep Science Hero Jor-El in a more Cyberpunk or Post-Cyberpunk version.

The problem with this concept is that NO ONE has powers in Krypton (Supes gets his powers from the Earth's YELLOW Sun). So this show is literally going to be a bunch of people in weird outfits talking amidst weird architecture neutered by TV budgets.

I suppose if they make it something akin to Game Of Thrones IN SPACE it MIGHT work but I have the feeling they will go with the standard "DC TV prequel", namely "ALL the classic villains show up, regardless of whether it makes sense". Get ready to see Jor-El fight Doomsday and Darkseid (despite having no powers), people!

gain referring to the Silver Age Jor-El and my admittedly faulty memory he was responsible for not only Zod and his henches but for a large portion of the inhabitants of the Phantom Zone being there.

It's real.

Follow the Leader indeed.

Yep. Well, that means I'll have to take back what I said about this not being real.

It'll be hilarious and awesome if they somehow manage to to have a crossover with Gotham.

Sci-Fi(I refuse to use Sy Fy) is probably the best fit for this kind of show but I still think it's a stupid idea.

Kal-El's grandfather? Okaaay.

Now I'm picturing an alternate universe where Kal-El was discovered and raised by the Waynes along with brother Bruce and his powers first manifest when he saves them.

From the thread title, was anyone else hoping this was gonna be about Planet Krypton, the restaurant◊?

And my interest in this concept is now completely gone. I would've been up for a Jor-El show, but I don't really care at all about his daddy. It seems like they've made the mistake of setting this show a full generation BEFORE things on the planet actually got interesting.

I wonder if they'll make any attempt to line up this version of Krypton with the Krypton Kara comes from in Supergirl.

I mean, they're on different networks, yes, and Planet Krypton is set long before Kara would be born, but having them line up could be interesting.
