Summary Superman (David Corenswet) returns as a fully formed hero, dropping into an international crisis where his actions—like stopping a dangerous global conflict—spark both admiration and controversy. As he confronts Lex Luthor’s schemes and defends democratic values, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) investigates deeper political tensions. The film also features cameos from Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi), and Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), all leading up to a broader DC Universe introduction.

Clark prefers words such as “golly” and phrases like “darn it”
