I read The Many Worlds of Krypton
Tumblr media
The original version of Krypton is incredible, I love it. The rebooted version after Crisis on Infinite Earths just doesn’t compare, and Imma show the destruction scenes to prove it.
Post-Crisis: completely flat, no emotions induced from reading
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pre-Crisis: fully a tragedy and the parents’ emotions are flying off the page

The difference in quality is vast for me. The pre-Crisis World of Krypton series is just superior and actually gives good information on Krypton.

Krypto has been Superman's furry companion since he was an infant on the planet Krypton. Although they are not as intelligent as humanoids, Kryptonian dogs can read minds, even if they cannot project their thoughts.
Krypto was paired with the infant Kal-el to mind him and keep him from harm, which was a common practice on Krypton, and was sent with Kal-el to Earth AI for that purpose.
Kryptonian dogs live hundreds of years, which explains how Krypto could have been a puppy when Kal was a baby and still be alive now that Superman is in his thirties.

The comic history that Yj takes from is absolutely massive. Season 4 episode 20 references so much of kryptonian history. YJ always keeps me on my toes. The connection between Tomar-Re and the kryptonians is so much more heartbreaking than the show goes into. I think it’s only fair to show his struggles and trauma as we just get a couple lines about the history
In expressing his condolences about superboy’s death, he mentions “Krypton was in my space sector. I was good friends with both the el brothers, jor-el and Zor-el
Tumblr media
“My single greatest regret is failing to save Krypton”
It’s interesting as a green lantern he states the death of krypton was his fault when he was doing literally all he could to save those in his sector along with advocating to the guardians for the lives of these people.

This green lantern went blind trying to fix a massive planetary collapse and still blames himself for not doing more.
This entire episode really gave such a beautiful insight to the life and minds of those we call superheros. How that name can cause such internal strife when things beyond their control happen.
I found that Gar’s accepting of his trauma and how he could do nothing to save those he loves so extremely similar to how Tomar-Re must be feeling.
They act as mirrors to each other.
Absolutely insane the week I buy, “Superman, the world of krypton” YJ puts out a kryptonian centric episode. (Apparently Kru-El is also referenced in this book)

My favorite things about Kryptonian Lore; Rao evolved from a polytheistic background to a monotheistic God with the capital ‘G’, Krypton had a Moon Goddess called ‘Yuda’, Krypton actually had two moons.
which makes it doubly tragic because Jax Ur canonically destroyed one of those moons. Effectively not only committing mass genocide but also desecrating one of the biggest religious symbols in Krypton.
Also Superman and Supergirl’s families are WAY too prolific. Inventor of the Telescope? Turned Krypton into a monotheistic religion? Inventor of the compass? Damn dude.

Hi! Sorry if you already answered this, but I am interested in knowing more about Krypton's history, culture and society. Do you have any recommendations for someone who wants to know more about those?
Hmmmm if you’re not tired of seeing Krypton’s last days then try World of Krypton by Venditti/Oeming. If nothing else the art is fantastic and it is all about the time period leading up to Krypton’s demise. Lots of lore there. Also New Krypton (the Pre-Flashpoint storyline) had the culture clash Kal experiences between his human upbringing and Kryptonian culture as he attempts to guide the New Krypton society as a core focus, that would be useful reading for info on Kryptonian lore. John Byrne also told the story of the Post-Crisis Krypton in its own mini also called World of Krypton.

The Kryptonian city of Kandor was miniaturized and placed in a bottle by Brainiac so that he could continue to study Kryptonian society without staying on Krypton. The curiosity of his 12th level intellect exceeds its sense of ethics. 
It was a fortuitous event for the city. It avoided the destruction of Krypton. It saved 3 million lives. Superman happened upon Kandor onboard Brainiac’s space vessel when he was temporarily held captive. 
Superman keeps Kandor in his Fortress of Solitude, safe from prying eyes. He has vowed to find a way to restore its inhabitants to normal size. From time-to-time he uses a prototype of an enlarging device to enlarge one of Kandor’s inhabitants, but the effect always wears off. He has occasionally shrunk himself to visit the city, sometimes he has brought others.
The existence of Kandor is secret. Not even the Justice League is aware it exists.

headcannon is that gender didn’t really exist on krypton you kinda where just given like the pronouns after birth and later in life you get to chose who you want to be and kara was assigned“female” pronouns at birth and chose to stick with them because the pronouns felt like her and she’s like a small part of krypton that wasn’t actually trans or like non-binary because it wasn’t super common on krypton to like your gender you were assigned so they changed it at there gender identity ceremony or some shit like that
so she is yet again stroked with confused ™ when people on earth are non excepting of people and there transitions and such because it’s super normal and common on krypton so why are these stupid humans not accepting of who these people are? As a person
