He needs to recruit Seg-El to, among other reasons, find and unlock the House of El’s Fortress of Solitude, created by his now-deceased grandfather (played by Ian McElhinney, and who was executed for suggesting that Kryptonians were not the only life in the universe) who – like Superman’s own biological father on Earth – now appears to Seg-El via holographic image.
Our present-day Superman (who, once again, we never see) has sent Adam Strange (Shaun Sipos, who reminds one of a young Brad Pitt…at least he did me) back to Krypton to try and stop this from happening. In Terminator-like fashion, the super-villain Brainiac (played via CGI enhancement by Blake Ritson) has decided to go back in time and destroy Krypton earlier than its previous doomsday date, in order to make sure Kal-El is never even born. The gist of the idea was to make Krypton both a prequel and a present-day story using time travel.

And while I’m not sure they came up with the best answer to address them, they’ve at least come up with a “hook” that attaches Superman to this series without (of course) ever having to worry about making the Man of Steel part of the series.
How do you make a superhero show with no superheroes?įortunately, the creators of Krypton seem to have asked the above questions during the development of the series as well. When you add to that that the people of Krypton have no superpowers on their home world, things get even more questionable. So that character is even further removed from the Last Son of Krypton. On top of that, DC was planning to go back even further - giving us a story about Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El (played by Cameron Cuffe). It tells us where Superman came from, but who he is always had more to do with Ma and Pa Kent than it did Jor-El and Lara. I’ve been a die-hard Superman fan all my life (he’s by far my favorite superhero), but the Krypton stuff has always been needless backstory for me.

When I first heard about DC’s plans to make a TV series named Krypton, I have to confess I thought it was a pretty bad idea.
