This version is still imperfect, there is severe class warfare and a history of british-like colonialism. The 'emotion is dead' angle doesn't work for me, leave that to Brainiac and Colu, they had been using that since the 60's it wasn't original. Krypton in the silver age seemed like a cautionary tale for humanity and kal was the messenger to show them what their own arrogance and warfare could do.
