Fan Casting The Man of Steel (Visno DCEU Film #1)

My version of Man of Steel would similarly follow the origins of Superman, focusing mostly on how he is secretly helping the people of Metropolis, and intercut with flashbacks to his discovery of his super powers with his Earth parents, slowly revealed over the course of the film, and ultimately coming to terms with his alien origins as revealed to him by Zod. In the end of Act 1, he encounters Bloodsport and takes him into custody, setting up the first member of The Suicide Squad, which will become a recurring theme in my version of the DCEU, laying the groundwork for multiple movies at once in each film to help them feel more connected and make the audience not feel lost by the time we reach our ensemble cast films. Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor meet at a fancy party, our first introduction to Bruce. Lex Luthor gets the arc that Bruce Wayne did in Snyder’s version, which makes much more sense for his character. Superman and Zod’s battle destroys parts of Metropolis, with Superman trying to take the fighting out of the city and Zod trying to bait him back each time by destroying it. The battle ends with the death of Zod over the ocean, and includes a mid credits scene with LexCorp exhuming his body from the sea, setting up Man of Steel 2, and this is where the audience will first encounter Aquaman.
