Jor-El`s tests confirm Krypton is doomed to explode, but the ruling council disbelieves him, because the Brainiac computer - built to study and monitor Krypton - disagrees. Jor-El`s tests confirm Krypton is doomed to explode, but the ruling council disbelieves him, because the Brainiac computer - built to study and monitor Krypton - disagrees. Jor-El finds Brainiac has lied so that it will have time to save itself by transferring itself and its` repository of kryptonian knowledge into a sattelite, instead of being ordered by the council to help the people. At Brainiac`s orders, Jor-El is pursued by police. Jor-El makes it back to his home, where his father-in-law, Sul-Van, now believes him. Jor-El and his wife Lara prepare their son, Kal-El, to escape Krypton in a rocket, while Lara`s father decoys the police. Brainiac leaves Krypton. Jor-El and Lara watch Kal-El`s ship leave just before Krypton explodes. The ship takes Kal-El, and some meteoric remains of Krypton, through a space warp to Earth`s solar system. The ship lands on The Planet Earth. Meanwhile, in space Brainiac is retrieved by aliens. Brainiac kills the aliens, and takes over their ship.
