Warning! Spoilers for Jurassic League #1 by DC Comics

In a universe where the Justice League are dinosaurs, Superman gets an Earth-shattering new origin that puts him directly in the path of DC's new Jurassic League. Superman's origin gets a considerable twist in a brand new look at Jurassic League #1 by Daniel Warren Johnson, Juan Gedeon, and Mike Spicer. The hero, now a man-shaped brachiosaurus, crashes down on Earth and discovers a prehistoric world where DC's greatest heroes and villains are dinosaurs.

When it comes to heroic origins, few are more iconic than Superman's tragic beginning. As his planet Krypton was on the brink of destruction, Kal-El's scientist parents put him on a rocket heading for Earth as the race's last hope. Upon crash-landing on the planet, the superpowered infant was discovered by the Kents, who raised him on their farm, instilling important values that the hero holds as one of the most powerful beings on Earth. Superman would be a founding member of the Justice League and has been a member of practically every team variation since its inception. Now, Superman's origin is getting a new dinosaur-sized twist.

A baby dino Superman's hand emerges after he breaks free from the egg, reaching out his hands to the Kents.

Jurassic League looks like it will be a completely insane series in the best possible way. Introducing dinosaur versions of DC Comics' greatest heroes and villains should make for an entertaining series. It will be fascinating to see how the book plays with iconic origins, like Superman's new backstory, and how the heroes will change. The new Justice League in Jurassic League by DC Comics will debut when the comic arrives in comic book stores on May 10, 22.
