Michael Tobis has brilliantly explained why Kal-El (aka Clark Kent, aka Superman) was one of the few residents of Krypton to escape the planet's destruction. I admit, it bothered me too that Jor-El couldn't at least get his family off-planet. Tobis does seem to miss the loyalty test that was administered by the planetary leaders (if I remember correctly, Jor-El swore he wouldn't try to escape the planet, but that didn't mean he couldn't launch his son intergalactically).
The Krypton Cataclysm: why so few survivors?
It seems to me that there are similarities to some recent events in this narrative, but I can't put my finger on them.
