The opening scene of Christopher Reeve’s iconic first Superman film was just flipped on its head with one massive change. Superman: The Movie laid the foundation for modern superhero movies and featured some unforgettable scenes–including the opening, where Jor-El banishes General Zod to the Phantom Zone. Now, in Action Comics #1075, the film’s iconic, and powerful, opener gets a sinister inversion, as it becomes Jor-El’s turn to be the accused.
