Fan CastingSuperman: Beacon of Hope

On the planet Krypton, Jor-El and his wife Lara-Lor Van, sent their baby son Kal-El to space before their planet exploded. Kal-El landed on a farm in a small town in Kansas, called Smallville, where Martha and Jonathan Kent found him, named him Clark and raised him as their own. Clark experienced different abilities as he grew older because of being exposed to earth's solar radiation. When he was ready he left Smallville to reconnect with his Kryptonian heritage and find himself. In the present day he finds his calling by helping the people of Metropolis with the name Superman. He also gets a job at the Daily Planet, where he meets Lois Lane and immediately falls in love with her. Another co-worker, John Corben, gets into a big car accident in an attempt to rob a bank to buy expensive things to impress Lois. The genius, millionaire, Lex Luthor saves him and makes him a cyborg. John, now calling himself Metallo, blames Clark for his accident. Clark and Lois start dating, while John keeps building up hate. Metallo breaks in STAR Labs to look for a bigger power source, but he encounters Superman and they fight. Lex then gives Metallo a fuel called Kryptionite which weakens Superman. Metallo finds out Clark and Superman are one in the same and they battle again, but Metallo's hatred is too strong and makes him overheat. Superman tries to save him, but fails. After the battle, the people of Metropolis now recognize Superman as their hero.
