First we have GOTHAM, focused on a Gotham City without Batman (at least not fully formed), and now we have KRYPTON, about the fateful planet without Superman at all. Which…seems a tricky proposition. I mean, without Superman, Krypton is just another generic sci-fi planet, right? Is there really enough to make it stand out? At least GOTHAM has Batman's villains to make up the void.
But who knows. We've gotten great shows out of worse ideas (like focusing a spin-off on one of CHEERS' least flashy side characters), so I'm willing to at least give it a shot (even if what I've seen so far hasn't filled me up with a lot of confidence). I'm cautiously optimistic.
But what about you Schmoes? You down for the show? Either way, sound off below!
Meanwhile KRYPTON won't explode next year.
