After a lengthy buildup, Krypton kickstarted its freshman season tonight with a pretty promising premiere as we were introduced to Superman's grandfather Seg-El (Cameron Cuffe) and his home planet - you know, long before it went kaboom.
Next week's episode continues the action-packed ride as Seg is forced to adjust to an unfamiliar new lifestyle, a new rank, and the impending threat of Brainiac (Blake Ritson), who is hellbent on destroying Krypton and keeping the Man of Steel from ever being born.
Watch the promo for episode two, titled "House of El," below:
