Who's Who in the Superman Comics
Planet Krypton
A trendy restaurant chain, similar to Hardrock Cafe and the now-defunct Planet Hollywood restaurants, Planet Krypton is a restaurant with superheroics as a theme. The waiters and waitresses dress as known superheroes, past and present, with Superman's costume serving as the mascot, and his background being the main theme of the business. The menu meals are named after superheroes as well, and so far, the formula has worked. Planet Krypton has become a success in a relatively short period of time.
Several notable heroes have eaten at Planet Krypton, including Jay Garrick (the original Flash), The current Flash, and Mr. Action himself, Jimmy Olsen. Clark Kent, Diana Prince, and Bruce Wayne have shared lunch at Planet Krypton as well, while the public does not know that they are secretly Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, respectively.
