The Super-Man

The film opens on Krypton, a world facing extinction. Scientist Jor-El discovers the planet’s impending destruction, but his warnings are ignored. As Krypton collapses, he and Lara Lor-Van send their infant son Kal-El to Earth moments before the planet is destroyed. Kal is raised in Smallville by Jonathan and Martha Kent as Clark Kent. Jonathan teaches Clark compassion, restraint, and responsibility. When Jonathan dies saving others, Clark is left with grief and a guiding belief that power must protect life, not control it. Years later, Clark emerges in Metropolis as Superman, a powerful but inexperienced hero whose actions divide public opinion. His presence draws the attention of Lex Luthor, a brilliant industrialist who sees Superman as a dangerous alien symbol. Luthor deploys his advanced Lex Bots, framing himself as humanity’s true protector. As threats escalate, Superman battles The Hammer of Baravia, a government-backed super-weapon, and The Engineer, whose nanotechnology challenges him in unexpected ways. Outmatched, Superman gains allies: Hal Jordan, a test pilot newly chosen by a Green Lantern ring, who helps stop global Lex Bot attacks, and Hawkman, an ancient warrior reborn to defend Earth, whose brutal experience tempers Superman’s idealism. Superman also encounters Kara Zor-El (Supergirl), his cousin and fellow survivor of Krypton, who warns him that his legacy reaches far beyond Earth. In the final battle, Superman refuses to become the weapon Luthor wants. With help from Green Lantern and Hawkman, he defeats Luthor’s forces while choosing mercy and hope. The world remains divided—but inspired. Superman stands not as a god above humanity, but as a man choosing to protect it.
