Krypton: SyFy reveals March 2018 premiere date and new preview pics
Before a certain Man of Steel came to Earth and became one of the world's greatest heroes in the DC Universe - there was his home planet and his predecessor who fought to bring order to his family and society. That will be the basis of SyFy's upcoming new show "Krypton" - which takes place two generations before Kal-El's birth and will focus on his grandfather Seg-El - as he gets an unexpected visit from the interstellar human time-traveller Adam Strange and is warned of the impending doom of his own planet. How this will play out and affect the destiny of the future "Last Son of Krypton" remains to be seen.
According to SyFy's official website, Krypton is set to premiere on March 21, 2018. Whether it ties to the DCEU or not, or is an alternate event in itself remains to be seen. The show is executively produced by David S. Goyer - who worked on Man Of Steel and Batman v Superman. Expect more to the legend when the show hits early next year.

The Death of Superman: 25 Years Later and beyond
As Justice League finally plays in theaters - comic book fans will remember this particular time of November about 25 years ago as a sad and unprecedented moment in comic book history - DC Comics killing off one of their flagship characters in the Man of Steel himself - Superman. As the final issue of the eponymous storyline of the same name that ran through the four Superman titles at the time - Action Comics, Adventures of Superman, Superman: The Man of Steel, and Superman - "Superman #75" saw the Justice League of America dealing with an unstoppable monstrous beast named "Doomsday" who all but crushed every single member of the superhero team. It was left up to Superman himself to try and stop the alien creature once and for all - culminating in a showdown that saw both combatants deliver death blows to one another and the Last Son of Krypton dying in the arms of the love of his life, Lois Lane.
As a storyline, The Death of Superman sent shockwaves across the comic industry - particularly to fans of the Man of Steel over how one of the world's greatest heroes could perish and what the fallout would be in the DC Universe following his death. The Superman titles would continue and show this aftermath with "Funeral for a Friend", followed by four mysterious Supermen appearing and claiming to be the hero in "Reign of the Supermen". Finally, the one true Clark Kent/ Kal-El/ Superman did return at the end of the latter storyline - and the entire saga was collected years later and titled as "The Death and Return of Superman".
As an iconic yet sad moment in DC history, The Death of Superman was adapted into a DC Animated Movie feature and was eventually used as the final act in 2016's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" - where Henry Cavill's Man of Steel ultimately gave his life to stop Lex Luthor's Doomsday creation. This act would inspire Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman to go and find other metahumans to form the "Justice League". How does Superman come back in the DC Extended Universe? That's for you to find out in cinemas!
Also, there's Doomsday Clock happening this week, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of Supes' death and it just so happens that the Man of Steel figures in this "Watchmen" themed event and it has the word of his killer in the title. How that plays out? We shall see when the story begins on November 22nd.
Justice League is now playing in theaters.

Take a look at Tim Burton's "Superman Lives" costume!
Revealed to the public for the first time by FX man Steve Johnson via his Facebook and through movie blog site Screen Rant, Superpeeps can finally take a glance at a very different take of Superman's suit, which appears more Kryptonian and futuristic compared to the iconic Red and Blue we know.
This was also the movie where Nicholas Cage was supposedly tagged to play the famous DC hero, and the mold wearing the suit suggests that it could have happened had things sailed smoothly and Burton directed. Nic Cage has always been vocal about his big time adoration and fandom for Supes, and him playing the Man of Steel would have finally been his dream come true next to naming his own son "Kal-El" (Superman's Kryptonian birth name). Still, we can only imagine what could have been with these shots. For more pics, visit Steve's own FB album or see the feature article over at Screen Rant!
