I dunno...maybe something along the lines of having him save a sunken nuclear sub and its crew...It could belong to either russia, china, or north korea.
Two Subs collide. One makes it to the surface, one doesn't..it sinks to the bottom with 115 crew members onboard.
The story soon breaks and news outlets carry the event. All of them soon have ''experts'' on the air who are saying that there is little hope for the crew of the sub because of the depth of the water, they are unreachable they say.
Since the area is in international waters, a massive fleet of ships and aircraft from different countries soon surround the site to offer help. The offer is accepted and several rescue attempts are made, but all fail. The water is just too deep.
Time has almost ran out for the crew of the stricken sub, oxygen is running low.. The Camera shows the subs crew saying their goodbyes to loved ones through the holding of photographs and the reading of old letters. some are already falling asleep from lack of oxygen. water slowly leaks in from different places.
The commander of the rescue force pounds his fist on a console in frustration. Nothing more can be done. All seems lost. The bad news is reported to the world, the crew can't be saved.
( Metropolis, Daily Planet ) we see Clark returning from his first undercover assignment..As he makes his way onto the main floor area, he notices all eyes are glued to the large Flat screen monitors scattered about the work areas. He asks Perry what has happened. Perry explains the details without looking at Clark, when he does turn to look, Clark is gone. Perry shrugs and returns his eyes to the unfolding events on TV.
( back to the disaster site ) Even tho its futile, one last rescue attempt is being hurriedly prepared by the commander and his crew. Suddenly, a sonic boom is heard overhead, then another. Everyone looks up, expecting to see an aircraft, but they see nothing.
''we'' see a streak of red hit the water without slowing down, it's just a blur.
( Which ever new theme is used for superman can be inserted here, it starts slow )...A moment later the sonar operator on the command ship excitedly yells out that the sub is rising up from the ocean floor....his work station is instantly surrounded by his commanding officers who don't believe what they just heard from the young ensign, but they see it for themselves on the screen, shes rising.
Other crew members are looking out over the rail of the ship and are pointing to an area of disturbed water.
( the new theme is blairing hard and fast here ) Through one of the command ships bridge windows the sub is seen rising up and out of the water. It's flying. All eyes on all ships look up at the sight. All mouths are open. Some crew members panic and run to hide. Others stand their ground and watch.
After a moment, the top hatch of the rescued sub slowly hisses open, air is heard rushing in. Two men are seen emerging, gasping for air. They look around while breathing in deeply. Once they realize that they aren't dead, they shout for joy, hugging each other, not caring that they are flying, not caring that its impossible. They are alive and thats all that matters. They shout down to the rest of the crew below them. More excited whoops are then heard from inside, alot more.
A shadow covers the bridge of the command ship as the 400' long sub passes over it in the air. A tiny glint of red is seen underneath the sub. A couple of crew members on a nearby American ship think fast and catch the event on their cell phones, one zooms his camera in and sees a man underneath the sub.
The crew member then mutters something to himself about youtube.
The image is shaky but we clearly see a man dressed in blue, with a flowing red cape, and some sort of \S/ symbol on his chest. He is apparently carrying the sub with relative ease.
Thats the scene thats later see on TV and the internet all over the world, the image shot by the crew member of Superman carrying the massive Sub to safety.
