7. Are We Getting a Superman Prequel TV Series?
We might be. There is a rumor floating around that Man of Steel writer David S. Goyer is working on a prequel series for Superman called "Krypton". Considering the Batman prequel series "Gotham" is doing well, this is hardly a surprise. But … didn’t we already do this with Smallville?
