Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2025)

DCU Chapter 1 Movie 1

Clark Kent, a young reporter at the Daily Planet, is still discovering the full extent of his powers. The story begins with Krypton’s destruction, where Jor-El and Lara send their infant son, Kal-El, to Earth. Meanwhile, Brainiac, an advanced AI that survived Krypton, escapes the catastrophe. Known for collecting and miniaturizing cities, Brainiac sets its sights on Earth, the last refuge of Kryptonian life. In Metropolis, Clark struggles with his dual identity. By day, he’s a mild-mannered journalist, and when trouble arises, he becomes Superman, the city’s protector. Metropolis faces unexplained technological disruptions—caused by Brainiac, who has begun reassembling itself using Earth’s satellite network. Brainiac sees Superman as the last remnant of Krypton, something to be cataloged and controlled. Its drones attack Metropolis, seeking to extract and archive all of Superman’s knowledge. Clark, torn between his Kryptonian heritage and his love for Earth, must stop Brainiac from miniaturizing Metropolis and adding it to his collection, which would destroy the planet. In an epic battle, Superman injects Earth’s unpredictability into Brainiac’s code, causing it to malfunction and collapse. Post Credits: Lex Luthor is seen examining a fragment of Brainiac’s technology, stating, “This is just the beginning,” hinting at future conflicts.
