And now? Something that may be inspired by the utter success of new television show Gotham in telling pre-Batman stories and getting an audience familiar with tales to come and teasing them on a weekly basis.

So utterly meh.

Hmm, skeptical. But it could be good.

Terrible idea.

I didn't like Gotham cuz of the cornyness but it has a pretty great cast. And needs to be something other than the boring police drama. I hope this new xmen and others will be worth it. I need more super powered shows.

It's a great idea. I can understand to a point the knee-jerk reaction of "meh, it's not Superman, so what's the point?", but it seems to overlook the fact that a well executed series on Krypton would only showcase the strength and depth of the Superman franchise. It's not like it hasn't happened before in the comics, with the Krypton backups, World of Krypton, Krypton Chronicles, etc.

Looking forward to hearing further developments. With a possible Supergirl and Krypton show on TV, and three movies with Superman in them in the next six years, I'm a happy camper.

Honestly, didn’t know that Gotham was such utter success.

So, Goyer, huh. I’m definitely interested in idea, but worried about execution. This show could turn out to be pretty – or really bad. Fingers crossed for first option.

Actually it would be an awesome idea. We never got to explore Krypton has a whole. It's past, it's history and most of all... What is it about that planet that has created one of the most powerful beings in the DC universe.

Although I think it could and should be done, I don't know to which point its financially feasible to do something like that.

It would require sets that actually gave us the feeling that we were looking at an alien planet and a total different civilization from our own. That would require awesome scenarious and a team of actors that could sell it to the viewers. And that's a lot of "if's" to make anyone at this point simply roll with a project of that magnitude.

Come, now. It's not like there haven't been dozens of successful and well made sci-fi shows on TV. It's certainly more feasible than a convincing show portraying a fully-powered Superman.

Cool.

give smallville back to us

So you heard about the cancellation as well? Yeah, it effing sucks.

...I'm curious.

Though I was kind of hoping it was a typo, and that it was going to be "Krypto," and we were getting a revamped cartoon...

Blade Trinity and Kickboxer 2 its all i have to say.

Why don't they just do that with the Supergirl show they have planned?

@transformers1024: Why not do both?

@self-dceit: Why have two seperate Superman universes on TV?

@transformers1024: Why do you say it's separate? For all we know, Jor-El might be a kid in that show, and Supergirl might know next to nothing about her homeworld. The two can easily coexist, as they operate in different times.
