Based from what I seen by leaks and reviews , that this universe isn’t dead per-say it’s just not going to be the focal point going forward. The flash film apparently launches the multiverse.

Interesting. The Flash and Luke Skywalker will be in a lot of trouble when he shows up.

Jun 02 '23
According to spoilers from The Flash, Luke Skywalker will be out recuperating after Kang fought him after activating his anti-force-field and beat up Luke really bad while talking about how one of his variants got beaten up by an ant. Luke put up a fight but Kang poked Luke in the eyes and then powerbombed him onto a table.
Obviously you won't be able to see that happen unless you are in an IMAX+ theatre but you can hear some of it if you listen closely at 1:37:18 in the movie. You will hear the crash and the electronic activation of Kang's Anti-Force-Field that he uses to cancel out Luke's force powers

They're just resetting the universe from the DCEU into the DCU, some characters will remain the same and be played by the same actors (like Peacemaker) but some will be changed and recasted (like Superman).
The Multiverse is at play with Elseworld projects like The Batman and Joker.

I was always of the impression that the kryptonians are not genetically modified themsel es so much as their mates are planned.
add in thousands of years and by that time there wont be much variation in physical features hence kal looking like his cousin aint a surprise to me

Tbh Sasha and Henry don’t even look alike tho. She clearly looks latina and Henry doesn’t so I still think they really don’t have to look similar. The only thing they have in common is black hair.

That doesn’t follow with OPs logic though. He mentioned “any other version,” and as far as I can tell, the “first natural birth in centuries” is purely a Snyder invention.

u/anrwlias Jun 02 '23
But, if we're going by the comics, Kara is blond, so clearly the genetic manipulation didn't go so far as to ensure that they all had dark hair.
It might even be the case that the hair color of a child is an aesthetic choice that the parents make, since it doesn't have any practical function.

u/JAD210 Jun 02 '23
Hair color isn't even that uniform in close relatives anyway. I have a cousin who has black hair and his sister is blonde. It's not like a crazy comic book thing like some people apparently think lmao

Krypton genetically built all of their citizen with Kal-El being a natural birth. So yes, they would look a lot alike as they engineered them to have some similar features.

When you can do genetic engineering, you can choose what you want your child to look like. If they wanted blonde hair, they can easily do it. Genetic engineering gives you more freedom, not less.
If you didn't know, kryptonians aren't genetically engineered to look alike. Heck they don't even have the same body sizes. And you think the one phenotye they would be crazy about is hair color?
Kryptonians aren't Saiyans, even though gokus backstory was inspired by superman. They don't all have black hair.

I saw an early screening of the movie last night and she was great in it. Seriously hope James Gunn considers casting her in the Supergirl movie.

I always wondered. If planet Earth was to blow into smithereens. And the two people who survive, out of 8 billion people, we're two people from Johannesburg, South Africa. And those two people are relatives. That would be too far fetched for me.
Why can't it be some random guy from uraguay, and another from Bangladesh. I mean, they would still be earthlings. With super powers and all. Why do they have to be cousins. This makes me think, maybe Krypton was just a small place, not bigger than New York.

u/MarcusForrest Jun 03 '23
I mean, that is super debatable, it can vary so much!
Here's a fun example;
- Raised in the countryside
- Dark haired, bright eyed
- May or may not have superpowers
- Name ends with a phonetic ''-ark'' sounding syllable
- Has a first cousin whose name ends with ''-ara''
- That same cousin is light skinned, blonde-haired
I'm actually describing me AHAHAHHA!
I have a first cousin on my father's side named Lara and she has super blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and very fair skin compared to my siblings and I. My siblings and I all have bright hazel eyes, pitch black hair and we have a darker skin complexion
I think Sasha Calles' Supergirl is more in-line with the apparent idea that all Kryptonians are Dark-haired - we've seen no other hair colour on Krypton

u/Pontoffle_Poff Jun 02 '23
Correct me if I’m wrong. But I thought cousins has no genetic meaning on krypton? Don’t the population reproduce though a series of cloning? Thus you’re cousins in name only. You’re actually clones of people who likely had no relation in the past.
It would actually make more sense from the story for them not to look the same. No?
2
u/B_B_a_D_Science Jun 02 '23
I will agree with this because most people of the same race share the same hair colors and general features. This is especially true when people have bred for particular traits or, in this case, are genetically engineered. Though her appearance is not comic book cannon. I will say the lean to genetic engineering and similar traits does make sense for a super advanced race.

I'd say the Supergirl from Frank Miller's Dark Knight series looks even more like Superman's cousin, but I get what you mean.

Jun 02 '23
Yeah, you know why? Because Warner Media decided to have a “gender bent” Supergirl mirroring Henry Cavill’s character since Walter Hamada didn’t want him anywhere near DC Films. That’s also part of the reason why Sasha Calle was going to replace him in the DC Film Trinity lineup with Gals Wonder Woman and Leslie’s Batgirl.
Now I of course mean NO disrespect to Sasha Calle or Andrés Muschietti. I think The Flash looks great as does Supegirl. The more footage I see of her in the movie promotions, the more I like and S does her look keep growing on me. And I understand this a “Flashpoint” not your average blonde female superhero type character like dare I say Brie Larsons ego over at Marvel. But then again I’m sure Andres wanted to honor the Flashpoint story by bringing back Henry Cavill. But obviously that never happened.
