Way back in December 2014, reports first surfaced that "Krypton" -- a prequel to the Superman mythos, not unlike current Batman-inspired Fox series "Gotham" -- was in development as a series at Syfy. Last week, news hit that the show is near a pilot order at the cable network, the first major update on the David S. Goyer-produced show in more than a year.Of course, the natural question for comic book fans is, which characters might make an appearance on the show? It's been said that the series will focus on Superman's grandfather, but the window seems open for some more recognizable DC Comics heroes and villains from any timeline to play a part -- similar to all the Bat-villains that have already been seen on "Gotham." The cosmic setting also expands the show's potential, even after CBS' "Supergirl" has debuted characters like Non and Martian Manhunter. Though there's still a long road between now and the show possibly nabbing a spot on Syfy's schedule, right now feels like a natural time to speculate on which DC characters may make the trip to "Krypton."
