Fan CastingSuperman: A Better Tomorrow 💎

Clark Kent works at the Daily Planet, nervously trying to ask out Lois Lane—until chaos erupts on Main Street. He dashes outside, changes in a phone booth, and emerges as Superman. He finds a LexCorp android—Metallo—who attacks him. Superman quickly realizes Metallo has a Kryptonite core. Overpowered, Superman retreats, but his powers fail midair and he crashes outside a comic book shop. Inside, he's patched up by Jimmy Olsen, an intern at the Daily Planet working here part time. Jimmy hides him for three days as Clark heals. When Jimmy sees news that Clark Kent is missing, he confronts Superman—who admits the truth. Hurt by the lies, Jimmy walks out. Metallo finds them. He kidnaps Jimmy and returns to LexCorp Tower. Superman arrives, enduring the Kryptonite to save Jimmy. In battle, Superman sees pain in Metallo’s eyes—a man, not a machine. Refusing to fight back, Superman lets Metallo tear into him. Metallo stops, overwhelmed, and rips out his Kryptonite core. Superman catches him, realizing it was keeping him alive. Metallo dies in his arms, saying he only wanted to be a hero. Superman confronts Lex, but it’s too late—While Superman was missing, he won the election. Lex is now Mayor. At Metallo’s grave, Superman stands alone until Jimmy appears. They reconcile. Superman says, “Maybe he would’ve liked the idea of a better tomorrow… I’ll give him that.”
