Mr. Weisman,

Exactly what year was Krypton destroyed in the Earth-16 universe? In "Over and Out," Lor-Zod claimed to his parents that Krypton was destroyed EXACTLY 40 years ago; thus placing this event in the year 1980. However, Superboy and Aqualad previously confirmed to General Zod that Krypton's destruction happened OVER 40 years ago; meaning this event happened PRIOR to 1980. If Lor-Zod's statement was true, this creates contradictions to Superman's origin story in Earth-16; since he was born in 1977 and arrived on Earth in 1978. Please clarify on these conflicting facts regarding Krypton's destruction.
