KRYPTON: Seg-El Ponders His Destiny On This First Official Key-Art For The SUPERMAN Prequel Series

It is a cool picture. I have to remind myself to see the 1st ep and what happens after.

At least it'll help me learn more of Krypton and some of it's lore characters because tracking down every single comic and reading isn't possible so at least there is that.

Pretty sweet poster but I don't think I'll be watching this.

I am intrigued by this show. The opening scene on Krypton was one of the best things in Man of Steel, and i'd be happy to explore more of that world.

Like the original pitches for Smallville and Gotham, I find something eminently interesting about taking a superhero world and exploring a real-world concept within it - in this case the political machinations of how a society's ruling class became so blinded by their own hubris that it eventually led to the destruction of their entire planet. If they can hit even 10% as good as Game of Throne's on the political scheming level, and hit the right balance of important social commentary without being too on-the-nose (i.e. the obvious global warming parallels), then this could be essential viewing.

As it is, I fully expect this show to start well, and then like Smallville and Gotham before it becoming increasingly desperate and start introducing Braniac, and Zod and Doomsday, and pretty much everything bar the kitchen sink, until we have that "Superman show without the Superman" that everyone dreads.

So... can someone explain to me why Mon-El has the same name as Superman's family, despite being from Daxom? Is "El" like "Smith" on Krypton?

I just figured out why he's named Seg-El. That took me way longer than it should've.
