What I would do if I was hired for Superman Flyby
Jonathan and Martha Kent are simple, childless farmers from the town of Smallville. But one day, a strange vessel with what appears to be a giant S on it cracks near their farm. Inside, they find a newborn baby and, with no other option, adopt it and name it Clark. Over time, they realise he is no ordinary kid as he has unbelievable powers. He also has a little robot friend named K to keep him company. As he grows up, Jonathan tries to teach his adopted son how to control his powers, but Clark decides to use his powers to help people. When he saves dozens from several natural disasters, not only does it get him in trouble with his father, but it also attracts the Men in Black. Clark (now going by the moniker of Superman) breaks into Area 51 and find out that he is being hunted by a strange alien computer called Brainiac, who has his pod. Clark steals the pod back and finds a recording inside by his real father about how his home world was destroyed centuries ago by Brainiac. With this new sense of justice, Superman suits up and flies off to face Brainiac before he destroys the Earth. (This is my idea for how "I" would Reboot Superman if I were hired in the early 2000s for the Superman Flyby Project. This version is basically Superman's origin story, in the style of a Steven Spialburg movie like E.T., while also combining elements of the Flyby script with elements from Superman Lives.
