Editing Krypton (comics) (section)

====''The New 52''====
Following Grant Morrison's run on ''Action Comics'' during ''[[The New 52]]'', Krypton is again a scientific and cultural utopia, and Kryptonians themselves are highly intelligent, even from infancy; Morrison describes Krypton as "the planet of your dreams. A scientific utopia. I wanted to explore Krypton as the world of super people. What would happen if they worked it all out, if they lived for 500 years with amazing technology?" Cody Walker elaborates on this, saying that "Kal-El is the next step in evolution physically, but he comes from a planet that is the next stage in evolution as well. If his strength makes him the Man of Steel, then the ideologies that rule his planet make Superman the Man of Tomorrow".<ref>Walker, Cody (April 2013)[http://sequart.org/magazine/19610/humanity-heroism-and-action-grant-morrisons-action-comics-3/] "Humanity, Heroism, and Hope: Grant Morrison's ''Action Comics'' #3"</ref> In ''Action Comics'' #14 (January 2013 cover date, published November 7, 2012) astrophysicist [[Neil deGrasse Tyson]] appears as a character in the story.

Tyson assisted DC Comics in selecting a real-life star that would be an appropriate parent star to Krypton. He picked Corvus, which is Latin for "crow",<ref>Wall, Mike (November 7, 2012).

He explained that many artists may only use bits and pieces of science, allowing for greater latitude in their creativity, but he wanted to show that using real science, particularly astrophysics, allows for just as much creativity.<ref>American Museum of Natural History (2012, November 14).
