Isn't Krypton the Superman prequel show? Wow, DCEU just keeps rearranging the deck chairs. Krypton is about Superman's grandfather on Krypton. Metropolis is about Lois Lane and Lex Luthor in Metropolis before Superman arrives. They both qualify as Superman prequel shows, they're all building towards Superman.

This is dumb, also proof that these comic book shows are getting out of hand. I completely agree... and I even love comic book media! When we used to get a superhero film or tv show every few years, they were something special... But now, there a half dozen new ones every year... ( Wait, Metropolis won't even be a "Superhero" show without Superman!) There are so many of these now, that they end up being made too fast, and the quality of the finished product is terrible. The studios are stomping the genre into the ground. I'm losing interest fast, and it's getting to the point, I don't even want to watch them any more. I would rather watch some other genre! I am not a fan of westerns, but it's getting to the point, I would rather watch a western, just because it would be something different to see... I think the problem is that they are staying in the same corner. Why make a show based on Lois and Lex? Why not make a show using established characters we haven't see yet (like Black Lightning)? Why keep going back to Superman and Batman? Even Flash and Arrow feel like wannabe Superman (Smallville) and Batman (The Dark Knight) shows. Hell, Flash even started out like Smallville by having "meteor freaks" of the week. I'd really like to see some obscure DC characters in a regular show (as opposed to Legends of Tomorrow). If there isn't enough to sustain a show then a movie or 2 would be good.

You know it's hard out here for Clark Kent When he's trying to get the money for the rent With the prequel shows where he is absent And the JL movies where he's in a crypt

Does a character this famous who has been seen in various media over the course of eight decades need this much build up?

So if you're counting it has been Superboy 1988-1992, Smallville 2001-2011, Krypton, and Metropolis. 4 Superman prequel shows so far.

This is a great idea. I have been waiting for a Superman prequel for years. If only there was a show that would show Lex and Lois before they came to Metropolis. Maybe we could see a young Clark Kent in High School or something. That would be really cool. It could have Jonathan and Martha Kent in it and they can help Clark understand his powers and place in the world. In a good twist, they could even have Clark and Lex be friends in their youth before they become enemies. This is a great idea. They could call it Smallville.

Superman was in Supergirl. They can make a Superman show. We can't have two Superman actors! That's confusing to the general public.

I mean, they killed off the Suicide Squad (and Amanda Waller) on Arrow because they were making a movie. I think the only reason they haven't killed Flash is because it's his show and they recognize he's the better version.

I’m pretty sure Flash not being killed off has more to do with Geoff Johns’ involvement than anything else.

Didn't they move him over to Legends of Tomorrow for next season? If they made him the main Flash then someone else would be the star. Maybe Joe or Iris. I can see Keiynan being the star of the show. He doesn't have that something.
