Is that not what the movies and series have become? The creators own elseworlds pulling pieces from the past while putting shuffling others? Just look at Teen Titans TV Series Jinx and the entire Catwoman film. The CW’s Supergirl. Gotham Knights. Videogames. I don’t even think the majority of DC employees outside of the comics read them.

In fact comic reliability on information we get in shows and movies now seems so tiny that it’s like we’re not getting elseworlds or even watching DC content anymore.

Except those that combine various stories, not one's headcanon versions of what the material is. Like, yes, Teen Titans Jinx is very different, but she also has a ton of episodes about her which show what she's about to fill even the comic readers who would not know who this original version of Jinx is. Supergirl had various traits combined and even flashed back to this Kara's history to go over the differences one by one. Catwoman... was mainly going off of everyone's Batman Returns context, but they can't all be good at world-building.

And yes, adaptations are not always built on being exact, but that shouldn't always be the point. Differences are a good thing on quite a few occasions. The DCEU failed on this not by being like any of those examples and more by calling those examples stupid. Shaming and looking down on the comics in many ways. Saying it was fixing material and therefore not getting it.

If you change something, at least do so consistently. The Krypton TV series did an entire reworking of the naming system and tied it to culture.

Well they have the excuse of elaboration in being a TV series, but also due to them literally 100% being about Krypton by comparison. However, it still is them putting in that effort of balancing a reason for their changes.

That's a nice detail. ls there a naming convention for male names?

Not really, no.

Male:

Random-Family

Female:

Random Father-Family

I don't think married women have ever been treated consistently, whether they're keeping their maiden name, turning into Random-Husband's Family, or into Random Husband-Family.

The system is inherently sexist, if you think about it. Men are treated as part of the entire family, but women are only part of their father.

If I had to come up with an explanation for "Faora-Ul" I'd make up something like a feminist wave. Her actual name is Faora Hu-Ul, but she styles herself Faora-Ul to level herself with men.

Given her association with Black Zero and Zod, I would consider that whole rebellion as likely a part of that.

Kryptonian males hyphenate their names.

Examples:

• Zor-El (a male from the House of El named Zor-El)

• Jax-Ur (a male from the House of Ur named Jax-Ur)

• Vor-Kil (a male from the House of Kil named Vor-Kil)

• Dru-Zod (a male from the House of Zod named Dru-Zod)

Kryptonian females don’t hyphenate their names and what they use as a surname depends on their marital status.

Examples:

• Faora Hu-Ul (a woman named Faora who is the daughter of Hu-Ul from the House of Ul)

• Thara Ak-Var (a woman named Thara who is the daughter of Ak-Var from the House of Var)

• Lara El (née Lor-Van) (a woman named Lara who is the daughter of Lor-Van from the House of Van and the wife of Jor-El from the House of El)

• Alura El (née In-Ze) (a woman named Alura who is the daughter of In-Ze from the House of Ze and the wife of Zor-El from the House of El)

• Kara Zor-El (a woman named Kara who is the daughter of Zor-El from the House of El)
