Clearly in Michael's version the New Kryptonians showed up and took Clark away with them.
18 years later a trade mission* brought back reports of the new superhero displaying the symbol of the house of El.
*Trade missions because New Krypton's population is that of a very small town. They pretend to be from a small African country. The small African country benefits from being the gateway. Clark had to set up trade missions or the New Kryptonians would have ended up invading Earth to get the things they need.
