		<description>Constantine has been adapted into film and did a great job.  The Watchmen was decent if you can tolerate the big blue penis for half the movie.  Other than that, there&#039;s really only the ones you mentioned and some that didn&#039;t do so well.</description>

		<description>The comics incorporating the &quot;S&quot; was a horrible idea.  From what I understand it was in the movies because crazy Marlon Brando insisted it be incorporated.  Marlon Brando, who was already well past known for being massively eccentric and difficult to work with. Marlon Brando who also insisted Jor-el would wear a Rolex (which Brando was known for) because he would &quot;be a classy-guy&quot;. Dont get me wrong, I still love the movies, but then incorporating the &quot;S&quot; as Kryptonian symbolism just adds to the Hokiness that more or less is Superman (I just dont like the lack of limitations he has, or at least had when writers would just give him new powers to overcome an enemy. The golden age imaginings today just look tacky and dated, I actually like the Byrne stuff. But the newer ones are still interesting.

This was a good, fun read tho.</description>

		<description>&gt; “Superman: Birthright” did not get the advertising it should
&gt; have gotten at the time and so some readers were not sure if
&gt; this was the new status quo or simply an alternate take on
&gt; things. A few years later, the mini-series “Superman: Secret
&gt; Origin” would replace it as the official story of Clark’s
&gt; origin and early days. However, since we’re talking about it,
&gt; I suggest you read “Birthright” if you haven’t already. It’s a
&gt; fun take on Superman and Krypton and I actually consider it a
&gt; companion piece to Grant Morrison’s critically acclaimed
&gt; “All-Star Superman” story. Seriously, if you look at the two
&gt; stories they work very nicely together and compliment each
&gt; other as a look at Superman’s life from beginning to end.

I think it&#039;s worth mentioning that Waid and Morrison (along with Tom Peyer and Mark Millar) were THIS close to replace Dan Jurgens, Karl Kesel, Mark Schultz and Stuart Immonen writers back in &#039;99. 
While I like the Loeb/Kelly run that we eventually got, I&#039;d love to visit the library of the Endless just to see monthly Superman comics by Waid and Morrison.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with Martin Grey as far as which Krypton I like. The guild compromise is okay, although Jor-El to me will always be the classic Silver/Bronze Age version.</description>

		<description>JUKKA: Thanks very much. The idea of Martha and Clark using the materials from Superman&#039;s ship to make a costume came much later in the comics and even then it did not involve a Kryptonian symbol. As I explain in the article, until BIRTHRIGHT came out, the symbol was always said to be Clark and/or Jonathan Kent&#039;s design.</description>

		<description>Great article.
Though about Superman&#039;s outfit, and it being a reflection of his heritage from Krypton, or something like his father would have worn... I&#039;ve always heard the story as Ma&#039; Kent being the one who made the outfit for Clark, out of the materials in his space-ship. Thus the design of Superman&#039;s outfit would not necessarily have to reflect any Kryptonian designs or House of El, other than the colour-scheme and symbol.</description>

		<description>They wouldn&#039;t say &quot;kryptonquakes&quot; because what we&#039;re reading is a translation from Kryptonian. So maybe they did say something like kryptonquakes, but it would be translated as earthquakes.</description>

		<description>Thanks so much Alan, your article is one of the best things I&#039;ve read in ages.

I&#039;ve never seen that More Fun Comics story previously, love the Harleqinesque Jor-El, though MY Jor is the Silver Age chap with the yellow sun and headband. I hate the Donner look, it&#039;s so very dull, and looks even  worse in the comics ... Jor-El as a beardie is just wrong (unless it&#039;s in More FuR Comics).

Plus, the shield turning up on Marlon Brando smacked of branding, as if the audience couldn&#039;t be trusted to remember his link to Kal-El.

The Byrne Krypton couture is nasty, everyone looks like playing card people from Alice on Wonderland, with Lara looking as if her head is growing from a clock.</description>

MARC LEVINE: The sequence you&#039;re talking about was published in More Fun Comics #101 in a Superboy story and was indeed released in 1945 (it was a January-February issue, specifically). No error.</description>

		<description>The article implies that the 1945 sequence (the first color one) was in a Superman comic, but I think this is an error.  As near as I can tell, the first mention of Krypton was in Action 1, the 2nd in Superman 1, and the 3rd was not until 10 years later -- Superman 53 in 1949 (pictured above as the proto-classic Krypton).  I know of no other mention of Jor-El or Krypton in comic book form prior to 1949.  DC wanted to downplay Superman&#039;s alien origin, ironically, considering their current story-line.  After 1949, Krypton is mentioned increasingly, leading to the introduction of Kryptonian villains in 1950, Krypto in 1955, Kandor in 1958, Supergirl in 1959, etc.</description>

		<description>Woofus: Superman was allowed the freedom to choose his guild because his father was of the Science Guild but his mother was of the Labor Guild. This is doubly interesting when you realize that the Labor Guild on Krypton is treated as a group of glorified slaves and they are not given representation on the Council. So we can conclude that Jor-El was fairly open-minded and progressive and their marriage probably turned a few heads.

Skyhawk: We&#039;re definitely talking over a few idea for LSH-centric pieces.

Kolymar: Thanks much.</description>

		<description>Vincent Bartilucci is right--the 1952 Jor-El costume comes from Buster Crabbe&#039;s Flash Gordon. 

I think the intent of these early ones was not so much to make us think &quot;alien&quot; but to make us think &quot;science-fiction.&quot; The other major possibility was historical costume, especially suggestive of classical antiquity. After all, every generation sees itself in the history of Rome. Krypton is also a bit like Atlantis. 

I have often wondered how Superman came to be &quot;socialized&quot; as a Kryptonian. During the Silver Age he would utter things like &quot;Great Rao!&quot; (Hawkman and Wonder Woman would curse similarly, with their own traditional gods.) Since the Donner movies this is said to have been instilled in him using the &quot;Mozart&quot; method, i.e. tapes played for him as an infant in the escape rocket. But then, this takes away from the drama of letting him discover his alien heritage as a teenager.

What caste does Superman belong to? Science, I suppose, assuming it&#039;s hereditary. Otherwise he must be their equivalent of a casteless untouchable.</description>

		<description>Vinnie: Thanks, man!

Superman Film Historian: Thanks, we&#039;ve corrected it. :-)

Ramzi K.: It was a fairly common idea that future people would wear capes, so I think it&#039;s more likely that the artists designing Krypton and the people behind Metropolis were both taking from the same common thought.

Dominic: Thanks for the kind words.</description>

		<description>Superb article.  I actually like the &#039;Krypton Man&#039; outfit.  Also seem to recall the Eradicator&#039;s outfit post the Death storyline was a mash up of Krypton style and Supes&#039; outfit.

Also at last I can see what bothered me about Birthright. I liked the take on the story but the outfits look generic to me.  They could be any other world outfits.</description>

		<description>Wasn&#039;t the Kryptonian fashion also inspired by the citizens of the futuristic society of the 1927 German film &quot;Metropolis&quot;? I seem to recall them wearing capes.</description>

		<description>Great job, Alan. Well searched out. Makes me want to know what Superman&#039;s &quot;history&quot; will be 50 years from now.</description>

		<description>Great article, but the TV series starring George Reeves as Superman was not the first live-action version of Jor-El and the world of Krypton. The first live-action depiction of Superman&#039;s birthplace appeared in 1948, when &quot;Superman,&quot; the first of two 15-chapter Columbia Pictures movie serials were released to theaters. Kirk Alyn portrayed Superman. That serial and its sequel--&quot;Atom Man Vs. Superman&quot; (1950)--are available on DVD from Warner Home Video.</description>

		<description>Jeff-the panel in question is taken from the 1981 All-New Collector&#039;s Edition comic Superman and His Amazing Fortress of Solitude.  Definitely worth a read.</description>
