    There's potential for a Green Lantern cameo. The reason Krypton exploded was because Tomar-Re, a Green Lantern, failed to deliver stellarium (a substance capable or reinforcing the core of planets) to Krypton on time.

    The way I understand it the show chronicles the last few years before Krypton exploded. One of the main characters is actually Jor-El.

    Actually, that's the dark future they're trying to avoid. We know Kal-El and some others live.

    Who all did survive? We know that Kal-El, Kara Zor-El, Dru-Zod, Ursa, Non, and Faora Hu-Ul survived. Also Zor-El became some sort of cyborg. And there was Lar-On, the Kryptonian werewolf. If you count other media
    Alura had a sister, Astra, that survived. Also there were some unnamed Kryptonians that were part of Zod's/Astra's/Non's army that showed up in Smallville and Supergirl.

    Syfy is currently hosting a marathon of Superman movies including the Donner films as well as animated films, if anyone is interested.

    I found this about Krypton:

    Episode 101 – Pilot (March 21)


    Description: Superman’s grandfather, Seg-El, learns Krypton is in danger of being destroyed so that his future grandson will never be born.

    Episode 102 – House of El (March 28)

    Description: After suffering a tragedy, Seg is forced to adjust to a new life, a new rank and a new threat.

    Episode 103 – The Rankless Initiative (April 4)

    Description: During a military crackdown on Seg’s home district, Seg and Adam Strange race to find a deadly Sentry.

    You might want to heavily reconsider your statistics. Even the more lighthearted shows - that amounts to just The Flash, Supergirl, and The Tick - are for the most part taken seriously. Compare that to Arrow, Black Lightning, Agents of Shield, Runaways, The Gifted, Gotham, the Marvel Netflix shows...

    The notion that superhero shows are not being taken seriously enough is pretty funny, although isn't Gotham supposed to be pretty goofy?

    And Legends of Tomorrow is a straight up farce at this point, with only the barest attempts at gravitas.

    90% though? Not since the 1990s have 90% of all superhero multimedia been more goofy than self-serious.

    Tv pilots are notoriously bad, for the most part. I would never judge a new comic on just 20 pages, and people shouldn’t judge a new show on the pilot.

    I know I know, nowadays we need instant gratification, but I try to give new shows, 4-5 episodes before declaring it **** ( hi Gotham!)

    Instead of enjoying this kind of super hero



    General auidence wants this

    This is not true the Marvel Netflix Shows are probably the most serious comic characters on film/TV right now and are well reviewed as long as Iron Fist isn't a part of it It's about matching tone to character the MCU isn't all jokes even the films just look at the Captain America Trilogy and Black Panther in particular also Logan did well. Superman has an 80 year history he's Americana where on film for almost all of it he was never as serious as Goyer likes to portray him. Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, John Haymes Newton, Gerard Christopher, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, and all the animated and radio portrayals had a levity and joy to them. The one positive many had for Justice League if they got over the mustache gate was how JL allowed Henry Cavill to being some levity to the role. So I could see people seeing a serious Krypton series and being like "Oh no not this again" given how foreign that tone is to the history to the property on film.

    Most of them don't like Superman. Supergirl is about the only one he has a friendly relationship with and even they have had some brutal fights.

    Also the Tyler Hoechlin, the Superman on the TV show Supergirl. It's almost like the people at the movie division saw this TV version of Superman and said why can't we have that Superman in our movies?

    I hope it can avoid just being an awful CW style production or even standard Syfy fare. Something more in the vein of BSG, please and thanks.

    Being based on a comic book concept doesn't mean it can't be serious science fiction with a point to it. I'll watch the first 2 episodes and see how it is.
