Neil deGrasse Tyson discovers KryptonToday’s issue of Action Comics #14 (entitled “Star Light, Star Bright”) features an appearance by world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson who shows up to help Superman discover the true location of his home planet of Krypton.

Warner Bros. released an initial teaser trailer for Man of Steel, DC’s new Superman reboot starring Henry Cavill as Superman.
