Finally a prequel to Superman!

David Goyer gave ComicBook.Com's Ashley Robinson the inside scoop about the Syfy series stating it will be treated like a “historical piece. He also added ”We look to previous cultures on Earth to model what that would be like.”



The intention of the show is to give a glance of Krypton in the height of power, following the Grand Father of who Earth knows as Superman. The inspiration behind this series was the portion of 2013’s Man of Steel film, which showed how the planet blew up due to years of abuse.



Goyer wanted to dig deeper into the story of Krypton, "We scratched the surface in the film and, for me, that was the allure," he said. Goyer went on to tell ComicBook.Com’s Robinson that as a child he was always fascinated with the books about Krypton and that they’ve only “shaded in” a tiny bit, so we will learn about the politics of the world, the culture, the art and all of the different guilds.

Goyer states that we will not only see the capitol city, Kryptopolis, but also some of the other moons and other locations

“In the comics, Krypton has had as many as three moons, Wegthor, Mithen, and Xenon.

As for other cities, Argo City and Kandor would be the other two big named metropolises, but Goyer wouldn't call them by name just yet. Argo City is where Supergirl's Kara Zor-El was born and raised, and Kandor was famously shrunken and bottled by Superman villain Brainiac.”
