Thanks to DC, Superman Has Quietly Perfected Some Surprising Lore

Warning: Contains Potential Spoilers for Justice League Unlimited #1!
The Phantom Zone—a hellish prison dimension created by Jor-El—has long been one of the darkest and most iconic aspects of Superman’s lore, carrying with it over 63 years of comic book tradition. But now, this notorious interdimensional prison has undergone a subtle yet powerful redesign, transforming it from a cornerstone of Superman's mythology into a surprising element of Justice League lore.
Introducing a large gate leading to the Phantom Zone marks a significant shift in Superman lore...
Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s Justice League Unlimited #1 has officially launched a new era for the DC Universe's premier superhero team, redefining them like never before after years of disbandment. The most notable change is that the Justice League is now open to all of Earth’s heroes, rather than just a select few. Additionally, the team now operates out of a new and improved Watchtower.
