Bleh: David S. Goyer developing ‘Krypton’ TV series

Man of Steel

Even before David S. Goyer shot his mouth off in an impressive combination of comic book and cultural ignorance, he didn’t do much for me. So the dude developing a Krypton TV show does very little for me. Other than provide a poor excuse for me to point out that the dude is a blight.

io9:

Man of Steel writer David Goyer is allegedly working on a Krypton show. But will the alien-set series have Russell Crowe’s weird bird/bug dragon? It doesn’t matter, since everyone dies anyway.

Because we are living in a comic book Renaissance (or glut), the television world has decided that they want even more prequel-like comic book shows. And the new rumor is we’re getting a show set on Krypton, which doesn’t sound expensive OR ridiculous. Bleeding Cool is reporting the rumor that Man of Steel writer David Goyer is working on (in what capacity we don’t know).

We don’t know if it’s named Krypton, but Bleeding Cool is implying that this could be the name or the general gist of the show. Which means we may get some hang time with Superman’s Dad or his Mom or maybe Baby General Zod or something. Basically, nothing with Superman, because he won’t be born yet. That sounds fun right?

Am I the only curmudgeon?
