Actually, physically locating Krypton is one of the stupidest ideas *ever,* in the entire history of comic books. It's like giving the coordinates to Oz or Never-Never Land. It diminishes the grandeur and mythological power of an unknown, possible place by anchoring it in mundane reality.

Am I the only one who thinks Hayden Planetarium and Hayden Panettiere sound a bit too similar?

Goodbye León (november 16th, 1993 - june 12th, 2009). You were, are and always will be the best friend I ever had. I will always love you and never forget you. And please, please forgive me.
Thank you for teaching me about love, patience and caring. Rest in Peace, my friend. I hope that wherever it is you are now, you can run and play as much as you want.

I have to agree with Xenos. I don't need to locate Krypton in relatin to the actual universe. Then again it's been years since I've read Superman comics. This will come across as a naive question but what the heck happened to Superman's costume? I'm guessing that is part of the DC revamp that took place last year. Do people prefer it to the old one?

Some people do, and some people don't. The nature of the beast, I guess. Originally Posted by shamus
