Now, we came across the white, prismatic mountains of the city. As we get closer, we see Kryptonopolis is constructed of pure white crystalline matter.

We see spires at a severe angle, the Camera Tracks across futuristic glass buildings, tunnels, and other structures, finally heading towards a specific white dome

We see spires at a severe angle, the Camera Tracks across futuristic glass buildings, tunnels, and other structures, finally heading towards a specific white dome.

Inside the dome, a giant face on a wall fills the Screen. The figure of Jor-El, dressed in black, can be seen with his back to us.

Jor-El (O.S.): "This is no fantasy. No careless product of wild imagination. No, my good friends."

The camera shows on the wall the giant faces of The Counsel of Elders who watch the proceedings in judgement, presumably from some other location. A circular white column of light is in the midst of the chamber. Trapped inside, thanks to two black rotating hoops, are three figures dressed in black. Jor-El circles the edge of the column of light, with the giant faces of the elders in the B.G.

Jor-El: "I ask you now to pronounce judgement on those accused...

On this... this mindless aberration..."

The tall, bearded face of Non peers through the light at Jor-El.

Jor-El: "...whose only means of expression are wanton violence and destruction. (pause) On the woman, Ursa..."

A short brunette woman wearing red lipstick. Silent, she stares back at Jor-El with what appears to be contempt.

Jor-El: "...whose perversions and unreasoning hatred of all mankind..."
