Not as exciting as DNA being inserted into the Birthing Matrix.

The only thing missing is baby Kal-El visualizing a Kryptonian Lynx while in his rocket.

That hits such a nice balance between recognizing continuity and getting obsessive about it.

The Birthing Matrix wasn't something that was discussed publicly in those days. It was private.

I hate to be "that guy" (okay, I actually love being "that guy"), but am I really supposed to believe Krypto was blown into space by the explosion of Krypton and then purely by happenstance landed on Earth? That's just bad writing.

Other than that, pretty cool.

No, he was in a space capsule drifting through space when Krypton exploded. Jor El used the family dog to test the prototype rocket that sent Kal El to Earth, but things went wrong and Krypto didn't make it back to Krypton.

That diagram clearly says that Krypto's capsule was in orbit around Krypton when the planet blew up and that it drifted to Earth.

Relatedly, why the hell was Krypto in orbit around Krypton in the first place?

Too old for comics/conceits of the genre/a dog not found in nature/white with white highlights/etc. :lol:

There is a difference between a conceit of the genre and bad writing.

(By the way, I know you were joking.)
