Unfolding 200 years before the destruction of Superman’s home planet, the story centers on Kal-El’s grandfather, Seg-El (Cuffe). Seg is faced with the starkest of choices. He can either save Krypton, or allow its destruction, in order to protect the fate of his future grandson.

Great show. Gotta love the history of Superman
I was slow to like the show, but really feel it is developing into a great one! Always an avid superman comic fan, I really hope it stays for another season, I feel it’s just getting started.
