Photos of Clark growing up turn give way to Smallville newspaper clippings which in turn give way to postcards of distant places around the world.
Act 1: Introduce, Clark Kent, Kal-El and Metropolis
Clark Kent steps off the bus in Metropolis. Meets Bibbo and Natasha Irons in passing. Witnesses Lex Luthor's public demonstration of his cybernetically enhanced SCU units, captained by John Corben, which go haywire, badly.
Flashback to sequence of dad's funeral, where he decided to go to Met and the final sequence of his pod played, with a message from Jor-El and Lara, and his blue jumpsuit being produced for his use.
Presently, in Met, Clark Kent degarbs into his blue jumpsuit and saves some innocents. Corben is seemingly/nearly killed. Clark narrowly gets away unseen. Tries to get an apartment, needs to find a job first.
Act 2: Introduce Superman, Lois Lane and Lex Luthor
Clark arrives at the Daily Planet which is abuzz with news of him. Meets Jimmy, who shows him the pic of him saving people earlier today. He tries to get a job, but doesn't get a look until he mentions that he was there at the scene. He's told to shadow Lois, and they go to meet with Lex for an interview. They have an extensive conversation which highlights Lex's view of the city and his position in it, as well as his stance on the outsider, his past interactions with Lois and the beginning of his atangonism with Clark. We then see Lex go to his Star Labs where Hamilton is rebuilding Corben with "extensive and experimental" prosthetics.
Lois is furious with Clark for ruining the interview. He's more introspective than anything, she goes off on her own, as does he. He returns to Smallville, getting cold responses from Lana and Pete. He talks with his mother and they decide on how he can make a difference. They fashion his cape into a symobl. She works through the night on his costume as he flies, costume partly finished to differnet parts of the world where it is still daytime, saving lives, delivering food, righting wrongs, and generally being Superman. We also have a flashback of when he was young and first discovered his powers, and his parents revealed to him his ship. There we are treated to the fate of Krypton and a message from his parents over a montage of him helping around the world.
By the time morning comes and he lands in Metropolis, he's Superman... and Cyborg Corgen is waiting for him. He's been repaired by LexCorp and gone rogue in revenge and anguish over his current physical state.
Superman routes Metallo with some ease until Metallo's casing is broken and suddenly he's a match for Superman, who manages to get him away from the city and such in time.
Lois snags an interview with him immediately after. Their chemistry in this interaction is clear. Superman is the gentle giant, Lois is the tiny spitfire. Their banter is playful and layered.
Clark submits a positive piece from the persepective of Kal-El's world travels. Lois has a negative piece the perspective of his actions in Met. Clark gets a job. Lois gets the front page.
Act 3: Lex Luthor vs Superman
As Lex discovers Superman's weakness, it is revealed that Lex powers his new tech with the incredible meteorite. He repairs and upgrades Metallo, who did exactly what he was supposed to do, which is cause superman to cause damage, and sets him up for the end game. We then see all the foreshadowed tech pay off, most notably, a space laser, a super-hacking program and a kryptonite beam, Lex's solution to the energy crisis.
Metallo goes haywire, Lex arrives and uses his tech-laden gauntlet to shut Metallo down, but Met overrides it somehow. Superman swings into action, battles the thing all over town. Superman narrowly wins, saving all endangered lives in the process, but is very weakened.
Facing off against Lex, Superman gets battered six ways from Sunday. Lasers from space, Kryptonite blasts from the hand. As Lex and Superman battle, Metropolis doesn't know where to stand. Until Lex wins, Superman's heart slows as he lies face down in a water-filled crater. Slowly, the people whom he's dealt with rally, calling his name. Lois, Jimmy and Perry, John Irons, Natasha, Bibbo, Lana, Pete, Martha, even Corben, Emil Hamilton and Mercy Graves.
Flashback to sitting in front of pod learning Kryptonian language as a young man. His father Johnathan Kent comes and speaks with him, and they have some epic talk about doing things because you're the only one who can do them.
Back in Met, Lois and Jimmy get Superman out of the puddle. Lex proclaims himself the savior of the city from this inhuman monster. John Irons and Bibbo carry Superman away from the carnage as the sky begins to peel back and the sun shines on the man of steel. His faint slowing heartbeat begins to pickup. As his fans are fussing, talking and praying over him he gets flashbacks of his interactions with them. He comes to and slowly stands. He asks John Irons for his car, and then uses it as a shield as he flies into space, disabling the laser. Returning to the ground, fully charged, Superman dodges the Kryptonite blasts, deactivates Luthor's gauntlet and turns on the raging impotent beast, allowing Luthor to show his true colors, and lose the alleigance of the city completely.
Resolution:
Clark Kent works with Lois Lane, whom he has a one-way attraction to, when missiles streak through the sky above. Clark makes an excuse and disappears, cue change sequence and flight sequence.
Notes:
There's some things I could add, some things I could take away, but this is the basics of it. The main thing to address would be how the disguise works, and it'd probably be best addressed by having some stunt to show Clark and Superman side by side. Any comparisons between the two would have to be quickly dropped at that point.
If things continue this way --nothing happening with Supes at the movies-- I guess I'm gonna turn into a Marvel girl. What other choice do I have?
