Clark, Lois, and Jimmy each find themselves on even more personal journeys. Searching for their past, trying to find their place in the world, and family relationships push each character this season. Sometimes it leads to compelling conflict between the friends which is greatly appreciated. They still care for each other, but they may not be communicating their personal wishes in the best way. Creatively they could just brush over some of these details, but these little moments help craft more long term stories. 

Exciting and intense scenes help to build even more tension this season. It honestly feels more adult swim than Cartoon Network this time around. There is a more grown up sense portrayed, yet it retains the joy, optimism and charm that everyone fell in love with in the first season. Premiering episodes on Toonami feels like a natural placement. Many times last season, the episodes performed better in the ratings on the late night block than their original earlier timeslot.

Threats from villains, some of whom we’ve already encountered, continue to grow. More layers are given to these characters, and we see that there are bigger issues brewing than we thought behind the scenes. All of these, of course, will come to a head at a later point as they continue to build the story through the season. 

Characters are compelling as ever, with lots of thought put into each moment and action everyone takes. There seems to be even more purpose and intention to actions taken by our heroes and their adversaries. I love the series’ creative sense of humor. It’s natural, realistic and feels grounded. As the season dives deeper into the lore of Superman and those around him, it leads to some emotional moments. All the while, it remains truthful to its storied history while finding ways to make it feel current.

Visually the new season is just as cheery and exciting to watch. Every moment on screen invokes a nostalgic feeling. It’s playful and a joy to watch. The voice acting remains on point, bringing so much dimension and layers to each character. The core three of Jack Quaid, Alice Lee, and Ishmel Sahid truly bring the characters to life. They feel even more fully realized with each actor having a firm grip on their identities. You can hear the pain, emotion, and glee in every well thought out moment. 

This season is one not to miss. It is a true gem and is setting up for an even more exciting season. You can tell the creative forces behind the series are doing it all with their hearts on their sleeves.

Time Jump:
Expected to premiere in 2019, Season 2 will pick up 4-5 months after the first season. Seg-El is still in the Phantom Zone while General Zod, using his knowledge from the future has transformed Krypton into a very different place than it was when we left it.

Lobo:
This will mark the first time the character of Lobo is being seen in live-action form. Lobo made his debut in 1983’s Omega Men #3, an alien bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia; he works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. His presence on Krypton may have something to do with the escaped Doomsday, who will play a larger role in Season 2 as well.

Nightwing and Flamebird
Season 2 will delve into the origin of Nightwing (no, not Dick Grayson) and Flamebird — two Kryptonian gods. Legend tells that Flamebird is a flaming, dragon like creature from ancient Krypton. The bird’s partner is Nightwing, its mate and opposite. In every cycle of their lives, they are reborn and find each other. They will also be betrayed by a friend in every cycle.

Strange
Season 2 we will meet some of Adam’s people. Perhaps both Sardath and Alanna will be more than just a voice or now that Superman has been wiped from existence, could this mean other members of the Justice League?

Colu
Executive producer Cameron Welsh confirmed the show will be visiting Brainiac’s home planet of Colu in Season 2.

Confirmation of the Multiverse:
“This is just another aspect of the multiverse. We might not even be changing continuity. It’s a multiverse people.” – VP of Creative Affairs, Dan Evans

The panel closed with a gag reel from Season 1.

Krypton Season 1 Episode 10: “The Phantom Zone”
Originally Aired: May 23, 2018
Written by Cameron Welsh, Chad Fiveash, and James Stoteraux

Many comic fans get stuck on “how it’s supposed to be” when in reality, comic characters go through so many iterations it’s hard at times to land on what the “right” canon is or is not. Krypton had the advantage of taking something we know, the Superman mythos, and crafting a backstory that has not ever been fully explored. The existence of time travel, multiple timelines, multiple universes, and Phantom Zone’s leaves the canvas wide open for interpretation and Krypton has ended it’s first season with mind blowing damage to the timeline. In episode 8, Sardath warned Adam that using the Zeta Beam had the potential to fracture space and time as we know it; his arrival on a past Krypton followed by Dru Zod and the existence of the Phantom Zone has brought us to timeline where Superman does not exist, Dru Zod rules the universe, Seg is stuck in the Phantom Zone, and Brainiac has bottled Detroit, Michigan with Adam inside.

This episode moved swift and heavy showing the resolve and determination of our women, Nyssa, Lyta, and Jax who may be the only ones capable of truly saving Krypton and restoring the timeline. Jax-Ur spends most of the episode ensuring the survival of the Kryptonian race by attempting to remove the codex from Kandor before the bottling. Nyssa goes back into the city to rescue her unborn fetus, and Lyta will not back down from the fight with Brainiac. While Lyta’s plan falters, she is in the prime position to help bring down Zod next season at the end of the episode. Though we do not see Jayna or her brother this week, it’s not hard to imagine a Season 2 in which they team up with Val, Jax, and Nyssa to bring down Zod, rescue Seg, and save the universe.

Val came out of the Phantom Zone, reuniting with his grandson for a sob inducing moment, if you didn’t cry, you may have no heart. Seeing Seg finally get back a member of his family was so touching that it was equally heart wrenching when, after tricking Brainiac into the Phantom Zone, Seg got sucked in with him. Hearing him echo his grandfather’s words, “believe in a better tomorrow” as he got whisked away, sent chills down the spine.

Who could have imagined that the end of this season would see Seg, our main character, disappear? For a show that delivers on all fronts constantly, who saw it coming that Nyssa is actually a clone? Daron, so wrought with grief over the loss of she and her mother, cloned her. Guess he had some love in his heart all along? And maybe this was why he was going to kill her, he knew he could bring her back. Perhaps the most fun thing about this show is its ability to surprise week after week. For all of the many combinations of space, time, and location I thought Adam could be, and there were many of them, in a future Detroit that has been bottled by Brainiac after Zod has already seemingly conquered the universe was not even close to my realm of possible guesses. How will he get out of there? Why is Adam the only one that isn’t frozen in time? How did Brainiac get out of the Phantom Zone?

Timelines and time travel can be confusing, but if we are following along correctly, it would seem that in the original timeline, Seg was lost in the bottling of Kandor, meaning that Lyta must currently be pregnant with Dru (unbeknownst to her) and that Nyssa will name her unborn child Jor-El, not Cor-Vex, in honor of Seg’s sacrifice. It would also mean that Nyssa and Lyta have some kind of relationship if their children were best friends. Of course, now that Seg is in the Phantom Zone and everyone knows Dru is actually Seg’s kid and the Superman cape has been replaced with a House of Zod cape, who knows what the future holds, but I for one am beyond excited to be going on this journey with the stunningly talented team in charge of this show. And as if all of that wasn’t enough to contend with, let’s not forget the final tag of the episode… Doomsday breaking out of his vault. Cameron Welsh and his team have their work cut out for them over the hiatus, and I cannot wait to see what they come up with for Season 2.

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Krypton for delivering us a truly compelling season of television, especially Cameron Welsh for pouring his heart and soul into this and Pinar Toprak for providing the soundtrack to this story. Thank you to the casting directors, Priscilla John and Wendy O’Brien, for selecting a cast of excellent actors, all who bring something so vital to their roles. Blake Ritson’s ability to convey so many expressions through a sea of prosthetics and makeup as Brainiac has been one of the major delights of the season. All of the women, Ann Ogbomo, Wallis Day, Georgina Campbell, and Hannah Waddingham delivered fierce performances and nuanced characters all worth rooting for. Aaron Pierre and Rasmus Hardiker shined at every turn while Ian McElhinney made a hologram one of the best characters in the multiverse. Elliot Cowan stuns as the vile Daron-Vex and Colin Salmon is the best General Zod ever to grace any screen, be it television or movies. And lastly, I cannot express how wonderfully both Shaun Sipos and Cameron Cuffe brought the heart and soul of Adam and Seg alive on screen in a truly breathtaking way.
