## Background

### Early-Life

On of The Distant Planet of The Planet Krypton, the home world of The Highly-Evolved Race which Also Resembling-Regular Humans and Somehow Entirely Bearing via Unique Molecular Density and Unique Molecular Structure, a result of the planet's gravitational strength and the radiation of its crimson central star. The planet is ruled by a Council of Elders, each representing a particular "tribe" and bearing a crest of that particular House. The planet's greatest scientist bears an S-shaped crest, the House of El. Jor-El is supervising the conviction of three criminals caught attempting to overthrow the planet's government - General Zod, the planet's former defense chief; his henchman Non, a hulking killer unable to speak; and Ursa, a woman determined to exterminate men other than the man she loves, Zod. The vast dome of the planet's capital city, Kryptonopolis, opens to the night, and an extra-dimensional pyramid - the Phantom Zone - tumbles out of the sky and absorbs the three criminals into an eternity in dimensional limbo through space.

The Camera-Pans Up into Entire Regular HyperSpace, Somehow Fully Passing via Giant Red-Krypton Sunlight and The Planet Krypton. Krypton Is Crystalline, prismatic, appearing brilliant white. The camera now focuses on The Kryptonian Planet. We Currently See of The Regular-Alien Architecture, Also Entirely Composed of Known Crystalline Shapes, and then a dome, which opens to show a white haired man, dressed all in white, wearing an "S" enclosed by a pentagram on his chest. **[Filming these early sequences were slowed somewhat by Marlon Brando's acting method. He claimed that he was "less encumbered" when he could read the lines, rather than memorizing them. He insisted that all of his lines be written on cue cards. These card were then taped to the frame of the camera or a wheeled dolly and rolled just far enough in front of him to permit free movement.]** "This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination.... These are matters of undeniable fact." **With those words, Jor-El asks the viewer to suspend disbelief, to accept Mario Puzo's version of the Superman story. This is a somewhat familiar story, yet somehow different from the classic "Superman", containing many parallels of the Judeo-Christian story of the Messiah.** As the first scene unfolds, Jor-El reads the charges of the insidious plot of General Zod, his companion Ursa and their evil associate Non, to orchestrate a military coup placing Zod as the absolute ruler of Krypton. Krypton had evolved to a near utopian society, and the thought of a "Supreme Ruler" was considered an act of insurrection. One by one, the council declares the trio guilty. Left as the only remaining council member to vote, Zod implores Jor-El to reconsider. **"The vote must be unanimous, Jor-El. You are a voice of reason in the council, as you would be in my regime, second only to me."** Turning his back on Zod, Jor-El illuminates a crystal, signifying his guilty vote, and walks away. Enraged, Zod curses Jor-El. **"You will bow down before me, Jor-El. Both you, and then one day, your heirs!"** In a flash of light, Zod, Ursa and Non are projected into the Phantom Zone, here a mirror-like prism that holds their bodily essences, which slowly heads out into cold, dark space. Only their screams of sorrow can be heard as the crystal disappears into the distance.

On Krypton, using evidence provided by scientist Jor-El, the Ruling Council sentences three attempted insurrectionists, General Zod, Non and Ursa, to "eternal living death" in the Phantom Zone.

#### Info

**Still, The Kryptonian Council that Has Other Business to deal with. Jor-El not only prosecuted of Zod, but also delivers a stern warning to the council that seismic disturbances within the planet are harbingers of the ultimate destruction of Krypton and tells them that the planet needs to prepare for worldwide evacuation. Fearing the unknown, the council warns Jor-El that his theories are unproven, and that, should he spread these rumors, he, too, will be held for insurrection. Jor-El swears that he will not say a word, and that neither he, nor his wife, Lara, will attempt to leave the planet.**

On the planet Krypton, Jor-El of the Kryptonian high council discovers that the planet will be destroyed when it drifts out of its orbit towards its red supergiant sun. The other council members dismiss his claims.

Despite His Eminence, Jor-El is unable to convince the Council of his belief that Krypton will soon explode.

### The Planetary Explosion

However, Jor-El's more pressing concern lies in the orbital shift of Krypton; this shift is putting the planet into the fatal gravitational pull of its central star, a fact blithely ignored by the Council of Elders. The leader of the Council forbids Jor-El from warning the larger populace or he will be imprisoned in the Phantom Zone himself. Jor-El promises to be silent and that he and his wife will not attempt to leave the planet. Jor-El chooses instead to construct a crystalline starship for his infant son Kal-El. Jor-El's wife Lara, however, is concerned, for the starship is programmed to take the child through a trans-galactic warp to a planet populated by primitive humans whose technological development is millennia behind Krypton, a planet that orbits a yellow sun, a planet called Earth. Jor-El, however, understands that the planet's yellow sun will give Kal-El superhuman powers that will give him the advantage he needs to survive. Jor-El and Lara bid their child goodbye before Joe-El installs a Green Crystal into the ship, a crystal containing the very essence of himself and Lara as well as the knowledge of the entire universe. He then completes the assembly of the starship - just as the planet is pulled into a fatal plunge toward its red sun. The starship is launched and escapes the system scant minutes before the planet is torn open, collides with its star, and both bodies are obliterated in a holocaust of fire and debris.

However, Jor-El did not make that same promise for his small son, Kal-El, and the scoffed prophet of Krypton decides to send his only son to earth. **Lara carries the infant to Jor-El's laboratory. In the civilized way of Krypton, she asks why Jor-El would send their child to such a backward planet as earth. They are a thousand years behind us, implores Lara. He will need that advantage to survive counters Jor-El. His denser Molecular structure will make him stronger than they are, he will have abilities far beyond theirs, and he will look like one of them. But, he will never be like one of them, replies Lara, sadly.** However, the decision is made. Jor-El places the infant in the star-shaped capsule, as well as a green crystal containing all of the amassed knowledge of Krypton. Jor-El tells his son: **"You will travel far, my little, Kal-El, but we will never leave you, even in the face of our deaths. The richness of out love will be yours. All that I have, all that I have learned, all that I feel, these and more I bequeath you. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own. I will see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father and the father the son. This is all I can send you, Kal-El."** Jor-El and Lara launch the ship and watch as it lifts off high above the surface of Krypton just as a new set of tremors hit the planet. The quakes crumble the buildings, eventually fracturing the planet itself into bits.

To save Kal-El, his infant son, Jor-El sends him in a spaceship to Earth, where his dense molecular structure will give him superhuman strength and other powers. Krypton, thereafter, is destroyed.

To save his infant son Kal-El, Jor-El launches a spacecraft containing the child towards Earth, a distant planet with a suitable atmosphere, and where Kal-El's dense molecular structure will give him superhuman powers. Shortly after the launch, Krypton is destroyed.
