Personally, I'm of the mindset that if you write something well, you should only have to retcon once, and even then, it should be done very delicately. If you have to do it again, especially when all the old stuff is perfectly fine like with this last retcon, it only accentuates that they've lost focus on the cores of the series, or need to move on to new material. And, lets face it, DC has proven that it does not do "new" well.

D Easel Yeah, it annoys me that people are either ignorant or ignore the fact that Kryptonite is radioactive. Some takes on Kryptonite even go so far as to have it harm humans just at a much slower state than it affects Kryptonians. Some versions of Superman are even treated as being affected by all types of radiation with Kryptonite being the most effective of course

@PaperbackWizard7 жыл бұрын
His vulnerability to it in the DCEU makes the most sense. The World Engine in "Man of Steel" was using radiation that made Superman weaker. This had the side effect of making "green rocks" that did the same thing in "Batman v Superman". Makes a lot more sense than chunks of Krypton finding their way to Earth somehow. It also might explain why the Kryptonian outposts were abandoned in MoS. All those radioactive rocks created as a byproduct of the World Engine's terraforming would have just killed the colonists.
@rodney2x487 жыл бұрын
You're right. In BvS, Lex does say that the green rocks left behind in the rubble of the World Engines were made by them. It does make a lot of sense in the context of the DCEU... Too bad BvS was a mess.

I feel that they should have made magic in the form of magical stones Superman's weakness. He is already said to be weak/defenseless against it, plus with the supernatural properties of magic, they could better explain/justify the different effects magic could have on him. Plus magic would explain why the effects are so fast acting.

Whoa, it's really interesting to see a reference to pineal gland third eye stuff in something that old! I mean, the sixties was a time when even the nerdiest comic book fans were "good christian children". Of course, the way they framed the text was so clever. No mention of spirituality or meditation or even chemically altered consciousness, nope, just good old biology and anthropology. It's actually a fascinating example of that esoteric sort of layered text, with "scientists" being used very liberally to describe ancient philosophers and gurus, and the third eye concept being referred to as if it were an actual regular eye that ancient humans had on the surface of the skull.
@Compucles7 жыл бұрын
Fun Fact: Kryptonite was likely named so as to sound like a legitimate chemical compound yet one that doesn't actually exist in real life. Any chemical name ending in "ite" indicates an unstable poly-atomic ion (which would be combined with another atom or ion to form a stable ionic compound), indicated by a certain amount of oxygen atoms bonded with a certain amount of atoms of the element in the name ("ate" indicating one more oxygen atom than the "ite" variant). However, since the element Krypton is a noble gas, it can't bond into a poly-atomic ion in the first place, so "Kryptonite" can't exist. The same is true for "carbonite" in Star Wars. Since "carbonate" = CO3 +2, a theoretical "carbonite" would = CO2, which is just the stable compound of carbon dioxide and so not an ion in the first place.
@Grizabeebles7 жыл бұрын
I dunno, Kryptonite _almost_ works within known physics. Kryptonite could be giving off strong beta decay (electrons) rather than the ionizing radiation that's so harmful to us. Krypton has frequently been used as a power source, and "betavoltaic" batteries are just a block of whatever element undergoing beta decay. If you take a close look at the cartoons and comics Superman is also frequently shown reacting in pain to electric attacks. Electric shocks are just electrons moving through your body. What makes this so accidentally perfect is that the symptoms of an electric shock mirror what green kryptonite does to Superman almost exactly: -- noticeable burns to the skin -- unconsciousness -- numbness, tingling, paralysis, vision, hearing, or speech problems -- Confusion -- Difficulty breathing -- Seizures What actually _kills_ humans who get electrocuted is disrupting the electrical rhythm of the heart. If Supes doesn't have that weakness, all it will really do is hurt like hell unless you cook him cell by cell. Which could explain why kryptonite seems to disable Superman but never actually _kill_ him. But why does Superman only show pain when he's electrocuted _some_ of the time but not _all_ of the time? This is where things get absolutely crazy. Superman gets his powers from "solar energy." The exact biology is never explained but it _could_ be the photoelectric effect. Also, his invulnerability has sometimes been described as coming from a "force field" his body generates. Electrical inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field around them. Electrical inductors are infinitely resistant to alternating current but are charged by direct current. The photoelectric effect is direct current. Maybe the bad guys need to switch to DC (I'm sorry). As has often been mentioned with Magneto, electricity can affect all matter, you just need _enough_ of it to work. Heat vision is just turning the stored electric charge back into photons of infra-red light and "magnetic refrigeration" is even a thing, so that could work in part to explain "Super-breath." So maybe Kryptonians are just living electromagnets whose metabolism runs on electricity and the wrong kind is a potentially deadly poison.
