Krypton, according to the SYFY channel preview I just watched,
will be a version in line with the dead ice planet of the 1978 movie,
the monarchist idiocy of "Lois & Clark," the barren, loveless
globe of the John Byrne reboot, and the twisted militaristic,
eugenics-obsessed nightmare of the "Man of Steel" film.
****Hawch!******* and *******Ptooey!******************
The Krypton of Siegel and Shuster, of Edmund Hamilton
Wayne Boring, Curt Swan, George Klein, and Murphy Anderson
will again be consigned to the memory hole. S&S's
mature, advanced civilization is supplanted by theocracy
and aristocracy, apparently based on the odious 1988 "World
of Krypton" miniseries.
The way the post-silver age authors depict Krypton, when
Kal-El's home planet blows up, it isn't a tragedy, it's a
mercy killing.
