    Default What's your favorite version of Krypton?

    I have a hard time with this one because there are so many versions of Krypton that I like, so I tend to favor the amalgamated Krypton from Post-Infinite Crisis simply because it has all of the stuff I love, but none of the stuff I don't. Basically, Buffet Krypton. Not as good as a singular vision coming from a great creator, but rather a collection of great concepts that any creator can use and build upon.

    In terms of Jor-El, I really like Brando's potificating, but I'm also partial to TAS Jor-El's more man of action approach. I like to view them as older and younger versions of the same guy.

    I like the aesthetics of Byrne and Snyder's Krypton a lot. The mad science experiment gone bad on a planetary scale.

    Morrison's Krypton is the one where I'd like to party.

    I loved Snyder's krypton. But, i wanted the planet to be a lot more chaotic in terms of wheather, gravity, number of moons... Etc

    I’m partial to Johns idea of merging the Kryptons together as well


    Krypton is a balancing act. It needs to be utopian enough that we can feel sorrow for it dying, but also dystopian enough that it seems plausible for it to die as a result of its own actions. So in that regard while Byrne had some cool ideas, Krypton being a hellhole that Kal is better off for not knowing strikes me as going too far.

    Now in terms of aesthetics? New 52 Krypton looked damn cool to me:

    New52 krypton is based on precrisis design. Right? I like the sunflower or the sun symbol being used for jor el.

    (the New 52! Superman) He's alive again, and back in the jeans n' t-shirt, hopping around the Multiverse. They brought him back in Sideways and even got Morrison to return for his dialogue.
