Just a bunch of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and World of Krypton sketches.

Krypto has been Superman's furry companion since he was an infant on the planet Krypton. Although they are not as intelligent as humanoids, Kryptonian dogs can read minds, even if they cannot project their thoughts.

Krypto was paired with the infant Kal-el to mind him and keep him from harm, which was a common practice on Krypton, and was sent with Kal-el to Earth AI for that purpose.

Kryptonian dogs live hundreds of years, which explains how Krypto could have been a puppy when Kal was a baby and still be alive now that Superman is in his thirties.

The comic history that Yj takes from is absolutely massive. Season 4 episode 20 references so much of kryptonian history. YJ always keeps me on my toes. The connection between Tomar-Re and the kryptonians is so much more heartbreaking than the show goes into. I think it’s only fair to show his struggles and trauma as we just get a couple lines about the history

In expressing his condolences about superboy’s death, he mentions “Krypton was in my space sector. I was good friends with both the el brothers, jor-el and Zor-el

“My single greatest regret is failing to save Krypton”

It’s interesting as a green lantern he states the death of krypton was his fault when he was doing literally all he could to save those in his sector along with advocating to the guardians for the lives of these people.

This green lantern went blind trying to fix a massive planetary collapse and still blames himself for not doing more.

This entire episode really gave such a beautiful insight to the life and minds of those we call superheros. How that name can cause such internal strife when things beyond their control happen.

I found that Gar’s accepting of his trauma and how he could do nothing to save those he loves so extremely similar to how Tomar-Re must be feeling.

They act as mirrors to each other.

Absolutely insane the week I buy, “Superman, the world of krypton” YJ puts out a kryptonian centric episode. (Apparently Kru-El is also referenced in this book)

My favorite things about Kryptonian Lore; Rao evolved from a polytheistic background to a monotheistic God with the capital ‘G’, Krypton had a Moon Goddess called ‘Yuda’, Krypton actually had two moons.

which makes it doubly tragic because Jax Ur canonically destroyed one of those moons. Effectively not only committing mass genocide but also desecrating one of the biggest religious symbols in Krypton.

Also Superman and Supergirl’s families are WAY too prolific. Inventor of the Telescope? Turned Krypton into a monotheistic religion? Inventor of the compass? Damn dude.
