Boy Scout (2020 Television Series)

Boy Scout is an upcoming American television series developed for HBO by David S. Goyer, based on the Comix character Superman, an alien superhero, created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The series is produced by HBO Entertainment in association with Comix Television, Warner Bros. Television Studios, and Phantom Four Films, with Goyer, Kevin Feige, Zack Snyder, and Greg Weisman serving as showrunners. Christopher and Jonathan Nolan, Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, and Emma Thomas served as consultants.

Boy Scout follows a young Garfield Kent in the fictional town of Smallville, Kansas before he becomes the Man of Steel.

Before the series' production, Bruce Wayne, chronicling the young protagonist's journey towards Batman, was proposed first. While that series was eventually reworked into The Bat, it also inspired Boy Scout. Development began in 2015 when Warner Bros. Pictures took pitches from comic book writers, screenwriters, and producers, opting to reboot the Superman franchise as a television series. In 2016, a court ruling resulted in Jerry Siegel's family recapturing the rights to Superman's origin and Siegel's copyright. The decision stated that Warner Bros. Pictures did not owe the families additional royalties from previous films, but if they did not being production on a Superman television series by 2018, then the Shuster and Siegel estates would be able to sue for lost revenue on an unproduced television series. Consultants Christopher and Jonathan Nolan pitched David S. Goyer's idea after story discussion on Inception and was officially picked up by HBO on October 2017.
