>>100659294>Thing is, there are a ton of solid origin retellings in comics like Man Without Fear or Year One, but most of those are pretty conciseIf this was an 8-part miniseries that ended with the planet going volcanic that'd be something else. I still don't really care about Krypton as a concept, but you could maybe make something sort of interesting out of the inherent tragedy of the failure to save it, like how the pilot for STAS was a Jor-El story showing his final day.
But five seasons or whatever they expect to get out of this? It'll turn into exactly what Gotham is,which is four seasons of fanservice without actual payoff and every season ending with Alfred telling Bruce "You sure could be a bat, man." as he stares off into the distance. These aren't sustainable long-term stories because you're taking what's the opening page of your story and blowing it out into a trilogy of novels. It's table-setting, not the actual meal.
