In General Zod's character profile for Man of Steel, it does say Krypton is in fact destroyed.

From: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=79485

Why did people assume otherwise?

Good, though I didn't know that some people thought it wasn't going to be destroyed.

Also Jor-el is seen in other scenes other than krypton.

Oh my god, Zod has powers AND Krypton gets destroyed? All these plot-twists. What's next, it turns out Clark Kent is Superman? No, that's just absurd.

I'm just thought people on these forums were aware of the rumors :P

BREAKING NEWS

Krypton is destroyed in MOS.

In other news, Batman's parents are going to be shot in the future reboot.

@black_claw:

Does everyone have to be a dick? I heard of rumors that MOS won't have krypton destroyed.

Apparently I need to be more involved in rumors lol

It's probably for the best, I notice people who take rumors to heart and they get so upset about them lol. Some people get worked up easily. Absence of heat vision in the trailer means he has none, Zod in Kryptonian Armor means he has no powers. They jump to conclusions way to easily

Not sure why there was any doubt about this over a few unconfirmed rumours.

@showboatingpenguin: you heard wrong. that would nullify the whole point of superman coming to earth. you should be ashamed for believing it. even a little.

@black_claw: spoilers bro. god.

@lvenger: there shouldnt be any doubt. no matter what writters may do, krypton blows up, the waynes get shot and uncle ben gets shot by the mugger.

Well that's a surprise

Troll

Jeez, no spoiler tag what are you thinking. Its almost as if you think Krypton being destroyed as part of superman's origin is some kind of commonly known fact or something.

@thetimestreamer: Some things are meant to be set in stone. Except for The Amazing Spider-Man not actually including the "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" line.

@showboatingpenguin: How would you react if I made a thread titled "Superman is in Man of Steel!

In another more productive direction, this lends to the idea that Zod and co. are not being put into the Phantom Zone

@lvenger: never said amazing spider-man was good. you give people a couple of not-so-good wise cracks from spidey and they forget his most important line ever. team tobey!

@thetimestreamer: Never said you did. Garfield was truer to Peter in fairness but the Raimi trilogy did more correctly than this series has so far.

Stop telling me things.

hmm he was in chains with his comrades, and he doesn't look any older since Clark was a new born, so I am going by that.

hmm this thread seems to crank the dickishness up a notch

Guys. give the poor fellow a break. He doesn't need to be ripped a new one over something like this. If it was a real, real, REAL spoiler.....then let loose the dogs of war.

But this isn't worth it.

On the contrary, this is him before coming to earth.

and when you see him later he has a greying beard.

@showboatingpenguin: ignore the assholes duder

what made people think that it wasnt

@laserlambert: Hmmmm good post, I was wrong. Maybe they were simply exiled?

Man, this thread and some of the comments do this to me

To be fair, Clark's birth was said to be illegal in the movie, though it would be weird if they needed to send him to Earth to escape death or something.

everything posted after I asked :P I just never knew about those rumors either

Good thing

Bondage Zod is kinky... Iiiiieeeeewwwww!

@jonny_anonymous: To be fair you can't really expect to come on this sight and say Krypton was destroyed in a Superman movie and not receive smart ass comments. Its like jumping in the middle of a bar fight and being surprised you got hit.

It does seem like there are lots of kryptonian survivors. Maybe most of the kryptonians left in space ships but Jor-El just missed the space bus.

What idiot didn't think that?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

If Krypton didn't explode, why would Jor El just ship his baby off to outer-space?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Damn!! Cool it with the sarcasm ppl,there was a genuine rumour and concern that krypton may not be destroyed,this news is reassuring at the least that there's nothin to worry about but......I'm still waiting on jimmy Olsen to pop up,which if he doesn't ill be a lil PO'd, especially if they make him a girl.

I'm a little relieved to hear this rumor dispelled.

@joshmightbe: well the dude was just clearing up some rumors that have been floating about and pepole are just jumping all over him. I'd expect this kinda stuff over at Giant Bomb but not the Vine.

@jonny_anonymous: Then you obviously haven't been paying attention, smart asses account for over half the people on here.

they were either phantom zoned or exiled.

I have it more at a third of the people. Myself included.

@wildvine: Either way its not a small number.

Yea I didn't think it included pepole who pick on new users

@jonny_anonymous: I wasn't picking on him, I just made a joke. I didn't insult him or question his intelligence.

Time to let this die people.

@joshmightbe: pepole are making fun and he clearly doesn't like it, I'd say this picking
