What if Superman never existed? Set two generations before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, Kryptonfollows a young Seg-El, the legendary Man of Steel’s grandfather, who is faced with a life and death conflict – save his home planet or let it be destroyed in order to restore the fate of his future grandson. With Krypton’s leadership in disarray and the House of El ostracized, Seg fights alongside Earthly time-traveler Adam Strange to redeem his family’s honor and protect the ones he loves while saving the future of his legacy from DC Super-Villain Brainiac.
My Thoughts
This series is a really interesting twist on the Superman legend. It's sort of like a prequel because it takes place two generations before the Man of Steel is born. We follow the character of Seg-El, the grandfather of Superman. He has seen a glimpse of the future and knows his grandson's destiny is tied to the destruction of his world. His house is ostracized and the planet is in disorder. There seems to be no way to change the future of the doomed planet, but he can ensure his grandson survives and fulfills his destiny. The first season has 10 episodes including:
- Pilot
- House of El
- The Rankless Initiative
- The Word of Rao
- House of Zod
- Civil Wars
- Transformation
- Savage Night
- Hope
- The Phantom Zone
This was a really great series. One of the things I liked the most was the addition of Brainiac from the DC world. We also see a human named Adam Strange come to Krypton to help Seg-El. The Blu-ray collection also includes some great bonus items like a gag reel and deleted scenes. If you want to grab a copy of this awesome DVD collection, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
