Trailer #3 for The Man of Steel revealed Zack Snyder's vision for the new Krypton, a more science-fiction heavy approach compared to the Richard Donner take and now we have learned some specific details about Snyder's Krypton in the latest issue of Empire Magazine.
"An impossibly large and consuming sun is about to consume them all," Empire reveals.
And for the first time we hear about Kryptonian robots, at one time rumored to be a part of Zod's army on Earth.
"Floating robots serve the privileged," it's stated.
We also learn that the Kryptonian civilization is divided into classes.
"Kryptonian society is genetically engineered into warrior class, scientist class, and worker class," Empire noted.
Also included for the hardcore Superman fans is the language of Krypton itself to crack.
"The walls are adorned with Kryptonian maxims, there for fans to crack."
In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time.

Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges. Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world’s beacon of hope – Superman.
