to:
A race and highly advanced civilization originating from the planet Krypton. After 100 millennia of space colonization, the kryptonian race retreated back to their native planet and imposed population control by outlawing sexual reproduction. The last few generations were born from harvesting DNA from a codex that Jor-El and General Zod would both seek out. They became critically endangered --and functionally extinct -- when their overexploitation of the planet's inner resources caused it to implode.
* FossilRevival: The Codex resembles the skull of a prehistoric humanoid and contains the DNA patterns needed to populate Krypton through artificial means. As the tradtional definition of "codex" is synonymous with "archive", it means Krypton's penultimate generation were effectively clones of previous generations.
* LEGOGenetics: Jor-El disagrees with the practice that everyone on Krypton has their future decided for them before they are born, but it is also the reason he steals the codex, and infuses it with Kal-El's cells, presumably so that Clark would have the means to basically clone the species back to existence on Earth.
* TacticalWithdrawal: Jor-El never explained to Clark why Kryptonians stopped colonizing planets, but in ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' it's stated that Darkseid and Steppenwolf have been conquering planets. Presumably the kryptonians were forced to retreat based on that.

The Codex contains the DNA templates used to fertilize and modify Kryptonians in their embryonic stage, grooming them for the various castes in Kryptonian society. Realizing Krypton would soon self-destruct and take the entire Kryptonian race with it, Jor-El absconds with the codex and entrusts it to his newborn son Kal-El in the hopes he would be able to revive the Kryptonian race anew.

* BaitAndSwitch: In ''The Flash'' Zod comes to Earth in search of the Codex. It's eventually revealed that in this timeline [[spoiler: the Codex was entrusted to Kara rather than Kal]].
* ChekhovsGun: Jor-El encoded the Codex into Clark's own cells, thus giving Zod a reason to kill Clark so he can extract it from his corpse.

All it'd take to retrieve it is a cellular extraction, but Zod has vengeance on the mind, and asks if Superman has to be alive for them to retrieve it. Turns out he doesn't.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Kryptonians who grew up on their native homeworld age slower than humans, seen with Zod, Faora and Kara. The opposite seems to hold true for Kryptonians who grew up on Earth, as Clark had the appearance of a grown man by the time he was 17.

* SuperiorSpecies: By far the most powerful species seen in the DC Extended Universe thus far, even ignoring their superpowers. Zod's ships and his World Engine were a greater threat to humanity than ''actual gods'' such as Ares, Enchantress, and (theatrical version) Steppenwolf, and his crew consisted of a couple dozen criminals using essentially jury-rigged civilian gear. Lex Luthor later used a Kryptonian ship's genesis chamber to genetically engineer Doomsday, who was, again, on par with or far stronger than the aforementioned gods. One can only imagine what marvels Krypton could deploy at its height when there were still billions of them.

* LongLived: They seem to age slower than humans, given how Zod and his crew look the same after 33 years. Though this may just apply to the warrior caste, as they'd need to be in their prime longer than scientists and politicians would.

* VestigialEmpire: By the time of Kal-El's birth, the Kryptonian race has begun to collapse in on itself. All that remains of them now are some dilapidated outposts, one of which resides in Metropolis.
Added DiffLines:
* RightForTheWrongReasons: Jor-El's proposal that Kryptonians should have settled on habitable planets rather than put strain on their native world was prudent in theory, but as ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' mentioned, the forces of Apokolips had been scouring the Multiverse and wiping out civilizations for millennia, the remnants of which Zod and his crew discovered. Really, the Kryptonian race was doomed no matter what they did.
Added DiffLines:
* OhCrap: A subdued variant. After practically begging the Justice League not to resurrect Superman, they do it anyway. The A.I. then states that ''"The future has taken root in the present"'', implying that Earth's heroes have now sealed their planet's fate.
