Bad Astronomy review of "Superman Returns"

...

*My* nitpick is that if Krypton posesses the knowledge of many galaxies
it means interstellar travel is commonplace to them. Jor-El even says
"Neither I nor my wife will leave Krypton." So there had to be zillions
of Kryptonians all over the universe, so Kal-El isn't exactly the "last
son of Krypton." And you'd think Earth would be a real popular vacation
spot.

The way they explained it in the comic books was the Krypton easily had the
technology for space travel, but it was legally suppressed. Seems there had
been a problem in the past with some would-be despots exiling political
rivals into space. So what Jor-El was doing was highly illegal.
