Krypton David Goyer Attached to "Krypton"

I like the trailer so looking forward to this.

 

Supposedly Krypton it is a prequel to Man of Steel.

 

COMIC-CON 2017: BRAINIAC, DOOMSDAY, HAWKWOMAN, ADAM STRANGE TO APPEAR ON KRYPTON TV SERIES

 

Doomsday is a bit weird. Brainiac is exciting. Can someone fill me in on who Adam Strange is? I would love it if they incorporate Apokolips somehow.

Overall, still not enough to capture my interest, but it does have my attention.

 

Adam Strange is an archaeologist who is transported by something called a zeta Beam to a planet called Rann.
Originally, when, the radiation wore off, he returned to Earth until such time he wqas exposed to the Zeta Beam once again.
So he is kind of a space hero from Earth.

I believe that he lives on Rann permanently now.

 

Really a pity that there wasn't any extensive footage at Comic Con.

 

What's his selling point?

 

Looks like one of those classic space cowboy types.

 

They actually found a way for this to seem relevant. I always wondered why anyone would care about the planet that explodes in Superman's origin story.

 

The Showrunner Cameron Welsh comments as the religion they profess feeds the life of and ultimately plays a role in the destruction of the planet.

 

I can see Doomsday showing up, since his origins are on prehistoric Krypton. But this being a prequel to MoS does complicate things since the DCEU version of Doomsday was created by Lex Luthor using Zod's body.

 

This is what the computer onboard the Kryptonian ship said to Lex before he created Doomsday.

The Doomsday that Lex created probably wasn't the first to exist.

 

there's no way this will be canon if they're using Brainiac. They're going to do Brainiac in the DCEU down the line, I can't see them sticking with a version that was first introduced on a tv show.

I do very much look forward to this though. The addition of Brainiac, Hawkwoman, Adam Strange and Doomsday is exciting.

That's really interesting because I was wondering the same thing - I hadn't caught that quote from the Kryptonian AI.

 

Is this happening or not? Has it been picked up?

 

Back in May, Syfy announced that Krypton had been "picked up to series." No premier date - but folks are figuring some time next year.

Blake Ritson has been cast as Brainiac while Paula Malcomson will portray a new character called Charys.

Someone must be a Da Vinci's Demons fan with former alumni Blake Ritson and Elliot Cowan cast in this show.

 

Dammit, I've been crying out for a new live-action version of Brainiac forever but

 

That gif never not makes me laugh.

 

I think Goyer was fond of the show.

 

I forgot Da Vinci's Demons was a Goyer show.

 

Really enjoyed Paula Malcolmson on Ray Donovan, so glad to hear she's attached to this now.
