I have to wonder if DC regrets brining him on. The idea of Krypton being destroyed by the inhabitants hubris is much more appealing than it being engineered by a villain.

Much much more. It was a genuinely good story

Now it's mundane at best, cliche in general

Thanks. I Like Him And The Story Line. Would Love A Clix

The cynic in me says that depends entirely on the sales. If people are buying the comic in high enough numbers, they probably don't care what damage he does to the Superman mythos.

Spoiler alert:


you all making judgements without reading the ending should go eat your hats.
He WAS Kyrptonian in the end, and it was fantastic reveal.

him being kryptonian doesn't change that they changed it just to change it. the who may still be kryptonian, but it's the why that matters. it was a story of hubris, of their machinations precipitating it and their arrogance to refuse to acknowledge the cries of the prophet. and then they were destroyed by something beyond them, the hubris of man brought low by the irresistible powers of nature. classic stuff that. parallels to atlantean myth

if it's a dude doing it, even a kryptonian dude, it undoes the story's strength
