It’s funny how Gunn takes a Byrne and Moore perspective on Krypton specifically, wherein Kal’s heritage was important only in terms of giving him the tools rather than any share of his terminal values. Byrne and Moore made Krypton into a fascist society as a criticism of Siegel’s futurism, and made it merely as a means-to-an-end that Superman used to become who he was.
I find this ironic since Morrison (Gunn’s alleged “biggest influence” through All-Star) specifically goes against this interpretation and has the flower scene at the end of For the Man who Has Everyrhing (where Superman implies it was for the best that Krypton died) subverted when future Superman puts an indestructible flower from New Krypton on Pa Kent’s grave.
