Second, some of the logistics of the film are possibly addressed by the possibility of more than one Codex on Krypton. Is addressable by the fact that, presumably, Jor-El was a good scientist and actually publishing his findings for the benefit of all). His son as the same and that Jax-Ur was able to determine Jor-El's actions (incidentally, Zod's crew's ability to adapt using Jor-El's novel technologies This is consistent with the fact that Jor-El was able to use

Using the film itself, it is plausible to speculated and arrive at many of these same conclusions.įirst, that the Codex is mainly a database with the skull being used as a storage medium. Irrespective of the above insights coming from outside the film. That said, from the Prequel comic, we learn that every Scout Ship was equipped with its own Growth Codex and, of course, the Genesis Chamber that we see in the film. Future creators and filmmakers within the DC Cinematic Universe are unlikely to lose sleep if their material were to contradict this comic or to be handcuffed by its contents.

See the Neal Stephenson novel "Snow Crash" for more on the concept of "Informational Hygiene" as a means of preserving more than genetic information (such as culture, ideals, etc) and a justification for using the same artifact repeatedly.

Other cities in the world may have a femur or a bone chip in order to run their own birthing matrices.

The skull is merely ONE of the fragments of this being, but as the crown jewel, it is kept in Krypton's capital city.

The carvings are the product of a particular religious sect engraving their sayings of significance into the skull.

The skull provides the raw genetic material from which their entire race is born, while the birthing matrix applies the variation and speciation and specialization into different roles.

The codex is an ancient prehistorical being that represents the epitome of their natural.
