It ought to feel cruel, bringing a new life into a dying world. But somehow, it’s impossible to see a baby being born and not feel... hope.

I wonder if Clark will ever find out anything about his biological mother...

One thing I liked Man of Steel, is that Lara actual was involved in sending Clark away and making sure he had the chance to avoid Krypton's fate.

She gets pushed to the side a lot of in favor of Jor-El, I hope she's involved.

What are your thoughts on the lack of attention Lara Lor-Van gets in comparison with Jor-El?

On one hand, it's frustrating seeing how underdeveloped Lara is as a character over eighty years into Superman's history. One of my favorite parts of Pennyworth was seeing Martha Kane fleshed out and given a personality, even if the viewer knows she's ultimately fated to die relatively young for no real reason than to spur her child onto becoming Batman.

Lara's got it worse, in that while Martha's death specifically influences a lot of Bruce's personality as an adult (moreso than than his father's), Lara feels largely incidental. Clark has a dead biological mother because--despite being an superpowered alien being--the metaphor of Superman necessitates he have a mother, the tragedy of Krypton's destruction heightened for the typical reader with the tragedy of a young family being ripped apart. It underplays the tragedy of Krypton's death as a culture, something that's only gotten worse as modern reimaginings and adaptations have focused more and more on Krypton's social stagnation sterility and imperial past.

All that said, on the other hand, I think Lara presents a good opportunity to explore Krypton as a living culture in a way that can't really be done with Jor. Jor-El's an outsider and an ideological extremist who happens to also be a scientific genius and correct about the planet's rapidly approaching death. While the circumstances that brought him and Lara together is a whole story in and of itself, Lara can believe in her partner without necessarily having to share that "Fringe Scientist" archetype he's pigeonholed in even his most heroic interpretations (and pushed to "Mad Scientist" in his least heroic).

My personal interpretation of Lara--with no real canon basis--is that she was a member of Krypton's Artist Guild. While the Science and Military Guilds are heavily represented in Jor-El, Zod, and many of the Phantom Zone detainees, the Artist Guild doesn't get much attention. Which is understandable--a thesis on Kryptonian Art History doesn't really suit any kind of monthly action comic one could reasonably sell--but nonetheless disappointing. Having Lara be an artist gives a strong reason to actually explore this group and the questions that come with it, while also giving a reason for Lara to be open to Jor's ideas. As an artist, she's always looking for stories and narratives to inspire her creativity. The tragedy of Jor-El's Sisyphean attempt to save his world falling on deaf ears becomes a romantic notion: they can't save everyone, they can't even save themselves, but they can spare one life. Their child.

I was working on Kara's Kryptonian history recently and it gave me an idea to flesh out one of Lara's works--her final work, maybe the final major artistic artifact of Krypton's history--and I thought it'd be appropriate for her to be composing a full sensory immersive visual opera-novel about a child in a strange and distant land, made strong and invulnerable under a golden sun. Lara Lor-Van's final major piece: "The Superman."

Have you ever thought about the tragedy of Jor-El? You know that the planet will blow and yet the science council does nothing. Since Jax-Ur blew up the moon, space travel is outlawed and the science council are impeding all of your potential research. You search and search for ways to make your research faster and to build a ship that can take in anyone. You finally have a moment of hope, but the city that took your warnings and were ready to help is taken; a giant crater in it's place. You try not to despair and just keep trying but nothing ever works. It's too little too late. You have to say goodbye to your son because otherwise nothing of Krypton will survive. Your wife stays with you despite the ship you built having enough space to take her and your son.

Curt Swan and Bob Oskner's cover to Superman (vol. 1) #300 (June, 1976).

This special anniversary issue featured an "imaginary story" that posited what might have happened if Kal-El's rocket ship had landed on Earth in the present day (1976).
