Two years after the first film, Superman has become known as Earth’s mightiest hero while, as Clark Kent, he begins a romance with Lois Lane. Though he wants to reveal his secret identity, he fears the consequences and keeps it hidden. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, now CEO of LexCorp, and General Sam Lane independently plot the hero’s downfall. Lex creates an unstable clone, Bizarro, while Sam transforms critically injured soldier John Corben into the powerful cyborg Metallo. Corben becomes obsessed with Lois, pursuing her despite her repeated rejection. Meanwhile Bizarro escapes and begins wandering around Metropolis in a makeshift costume. Lucy, Lois’ younger sister, blinded in the car crash that killed their mother, attempts suicide but is saved by Bizarro, who falls in love with her while afraid of revealing his disfigured appearance. Metallo battles Superman and falls into madness after being rejected by Lois, he threatens to destroy Metropolis by creating a black hole with Lex’s technology. Superman and Bizarro join forces to stop him. Bizarro sacrifices himself by sealing the black hole while wiping Lucy’s tears, miraculously restoring her sight in the process. Inspired by Bizarro’s heroism, Clark finally reveals his identity to Lois. In a mid-credits twist, Bizarro is revealed to have survived, stranded on a distant alien world where he chooses to become its protector, bewildering its primitive inhabitants.
