<<And never mind the Singer film -- Smallville also has "crystals and an ice fortress of solitude." So the Superman comics now also have it, so what? It's about damn time, I say!>>
That was my reaction as well.
Though I must also say that I really loved JB's version of Krypton.

Is Superman still married? That was one of the main things putting me off buying any of the books in the last few years.

Yeah, he's still married, but Kurt Busiek's writing is skillful enough that I can deal with it. I agree that it was a mistake but I don't think it totally ruins the character. (Peter Parker and Mary Jane getting married, on the other hand...)

The movies and Smallville's is my favorite incarnation of Krypton, so I'm happy about the change.
Wish Kenny Rogers-El shaved, though.
I don't know about the changes pertaining to the Legion, I haven't read those issues yet.

I've never understood the mad rush to undo the most penetrable, entertaining, and well drawn Superman run...maybe ever.

Maybe DC can hire JB to 'fix' Superman again in a few years.

Superman doesn't need fixing these days. Been a few years since he's been in such good hands in multiple books at the same time (now if we can fix S/B).
Busiek and Johns are incorporating aspects from many "Supermen" - Silver Age, Donner films, JB's, SMALLVILLE, and adding new.
I've enjoyed Waid/Kitson's LSH but I'm damn happy to see MY Legion (or one damn close to it) back in JLA/JSA.
Yes, its been 20 years for the LSH without Superboy, and they have never been the same. About time to fix that.

John Byrne: "The last time Superboy had anything to do with the Legion was 20 years ago."
Wasn't there a Superboy associated heavily with the Legion up until the last Legion reboot?

You mean the Conner/Kon-El version? He was with the Legion for about 13 issues.

Was he the Conner version? I was unsure due to the costume.

According to "Up, up and away" she watched over Metropolis for the
"year of 52", while in her own book she was in Kandor with Powergirl
fighting crime and in 52/SLOSH she spent that year with the 3-boot
Legion and then seemingly split into 2 people when she got back .With
so many editors, etc. working on this "tight continuity" how can they
have these huge contradictions? |

There is no "tight continuity" -- the Multiverse is back, plain and
simple. It's just that the-powers-that-be at DC need to milk the
fanboys, er, fanbase for another three or four maxi-series before they
actually, you know, get around to telling us. Just wait until the
final five issues of Infinite Crisis come out -- THEN it will all make
sense.
