Slott keep details about the Kryptonite cave and throne under wraps , but the tease alone is visually reminiscent and undeniably exciting . Typically , Kryptonite is rare , especially in big quantity . However , it ’s clear Slott is ready to flip out that premise on its head with an entire cave made of the radioactive cloth . This reveal also aligns with what fans know about the series so far , as both the abstract andSlott ’s interview have made it clear that Kryptonite will play a major role in the narrative , one that will doubtless keep Superman in a incessant state of risk .

What ’s particularly cool about a Kryptonite cave , peculiarly one clear service as a scoundrel ’s den , complete with a pot , is that it is the antithesis to the Man of Steel’sFortress of Solitude . Superman ’s Fortress has always been a blank space of refuge , composed of Sunstone watch crystal . Now , DC looks like introducing a base made alone from his large weakness . It ’s an exceptionally nerveless development . However , one major dubiousness remains : who exactly is the proprietor of this anti – Fortress of Solitude ? We might just have the solution .

Among the most anticipated statute title is Superman Unlimited , which will introduce major changes to the Daily Planet that will ripple across all DC titles .
