@marvel72

I'm thinking the same thing. So this is Kal-El's new origins? Not really that thrilled for some reason about this.

I'll check it out. Even if it's not great, we'll get another chance to see the origin retold after a retcon within the next 5-7 years.

Grant Morrison is not better than mark miller I hate grant Morrison with all my comic book heart the ultimates was the best comic book ever written IMHO

Grant Morrison does not make any sense at all!!!
Thoughties?

And finally the only reason any of us know what's going on is because of the animated series by Bruce Tim which this HACK is ripping off

If any one agrees with me change your avatar to grant morrison s face with a sucks sign

I thought the Simon/Schuster lawsuit was supposed to make DC change him. This just another retelling of things we already know, albeit a good one. It's still Krypton, Jor-el etc.

Gene Ha should be drawing everything. sweet lord, his art is beautiful. and i loved when the Animated series tied Brainiac into Krypton's destruction.....makes tons of sense and fits the cannon, so am glad to see New 52 is following that path.

From what I gather from the scene, obviously Lara is at a party with her sister and mother. The talk of a "nude scene" probably refers to some kind of kryptonian entertainment like plays or films. I remember that in the 60s Superman fell in love with a Kryptonian actress named Lyla Lerrol. So I assume that someone in the crowd was referring to some kind kryptonian film "nude" scene or something like that.

Then "surprise" Brainiac attacks, by the the way from the sound of it this Brainiac isn't native to Krypton, but he is an AI (fully). However, we would need to read the comic to find out more or if willing, continue reading issues until we get a better picture of what this version of Brainiac will truly be like and so on.

Sigh RB. You're pretty much a one note poster eh?

Superman from DCAU was awesome, i'm glad some of it is canon.

@MrEko How about you read the books before you're trolling. Quite a bit is different. The only relatively untouched characters are bats and gl.

You expect a completely different origin story for someone like superman? REally? It's still superman, wtf do you expect?

Also Gene Ha is awesome.
