Superman

What if Superman lost hope?

Who is Clark Kent and what makes him different from Superman? Five years after his sudden disappearance, Superman returns to earth. Believing that he has only been gone for a few days, he struggles to adapt to the world that once championed him, and among the people who loved him. While he left to find the missing pieces of his Kryptonian identity, he left behind his human community. His newfound self-knowledge has cost him the most important relationships of his life, including with his parents, son, and Lois Lane. His absence has even created a powerful and ruthless new enemy out of a once-friend, Lex Luthor. Clark struggles to reconcile his Superman identity and, in personal crisis, decides to give it up entirely. However, a threat from the other dimension follows him back home and threatens to destroy his whole reality, forcing Clark to make hard choices about who he is and who he wants to be. He will question everything he thought he knew and will be tested in ways like never before as both Clark Kent and as Superman. Will he rise to the occasion and save not just the present world but secure his reality and future?
