It wouldn't have to, anything resembling what happened to him on that ship would very likely make him perk up and pay attention, would it not? Come on. Superman is not an idiot. Nothing tells us how the rocks got there period, so right now it's all guesswork. I was merely thinking about Krypton's location and since they nicely laid out where it is for me, I started thinking about the math involved here, and unless it was actually brought to Earth from Krypton (or possibly the remnants of an earlier asteroid impact w/ Krypton from thousands of years ago??? maybe??) there's no way shards of Krypton could make it to Earth, this quickly. Which brings back the World Engine theory, but, we know Superman was probably integral in cleanup and rescue efforts after the incident, it's extremely likely he'd notice the lingering effects, right? So, no matter how you flip this, it's not like Superman shouldn't have advanced warning. |
Why couldn't the rocks arrive on Earth around the same time as Kal-El? They could have traveled with him on his way to earth, as is always the case in the comics. They wouldn't crash on earth at the exact same spot as Kal-El, and could be unknown to him. In fact, nobody would know where they came from at first.
I don't know why you can't think about these things by yourself. For anything you think, you should try to find a reason for it to be wrong or different.
Anyway, I'm sure the movie will provide explanations for all of this.
