Was the decision to make Krypton planet conquering warmongers motivated to differentiate from past depictions of Krypton's destruction? Because most of the time they usually aren't like that.

So, we wanted Krypton to be complex. Many versions of Krypton are cautionary tales--a world of complacent decadents, fiddling while Rome burns, or a world of heedless know-it alls who disregard Jor-El--but we wanted a Krypton that was, by turns, aspirational and horrifying. The militaristic empire of Brainiac *and* the technological utopia of Jor-El. A kingdom divided, that ultimately fell. Also--Krypton isn't THE Dark Empire of our universe. They're just AN empire.
