Faster than a speeding sloth, more powerful than a shopping cart, able to sleep long hours in a single sitting! Look! Up in the sky, it's Superman's grandfather! Syfy announced on Monday that it's developing Krypton, a one-hour drama that will follow one of the man of steel's forebears in order to "reveal a chapter of the DC Comics universe that has rarely been told." But don't get excited about seeing an old man enter a phone booth to change his clothes and then fall asleep inside, because Krypton is going to be a prequel. According to the project's official logline, Krypton takes place years before Superman is born and centers on his grandfather as the elder superdude brings the planet Krypton out of chaos, transforming it into a place that's "worthy of giving birth to the greatest Super Hero ever known." Well on behalf of Earth, excuuuuuuuuuse me. Syfy's press release didn't specify which one of Superman's grandfathers—Jor-El's father or Lara's father—the potential series will focus on.
