Man Of Tomorrow

After the success of Sam Mendes' Batman Movie Series, Warner Bros. wanted to capture the same success so they hired long time comic book fan and recently famous director and producer of the critically acclaimed movies of the 2 Animal Kingdom Movies, Joe and Frank, and Walter Gray, Chris Stockwell to do a reboot of their awful Man of Steel Movie. Chris' best friend John, who also co-directed his movies and wrote the plots for all of the The Animal Kingdom Movies, Joe and Frank, Walter Gray, and the hilarious short film Thieving Gamers only produced this movie because of him not wanting to work on something based on a already existing franchise but still decided to produce it since it was being made by Chris. This is Chris' first time writing his own movie and directing alone. Chris wanted the movie to be a Superboy movie entirely to show the origins of the man of steel and how he became the torch in the darkness that the world around him supplied. The film got a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes with many critics calling it "A good return to a GOOD Superman". Everyone working on it ended up receiving a award for the movie and Warner Bros. has decided to do a sequel. Chris has said in a interview that the film would star Armie Hammer as Clark Kent and Hannah Simone as Lois. Chris said that he plans on introducing Perry White in the next movie being played by Clarence Williams III.

Plot
The movie begins with some opening narration while showing some hand drawn comic book art that would help with the narration. The narrator talks about the story of the planet Apokolips, a ruined and hazardous land ruled with a iron fist by Darkseid, a member of a group of all powerful beings known as the Gods of Apokolips. The narrator then explains that for the past decades, Apololips has been running out necessary resources like water, oxygen, and all of those other necessities. As a result, Darkseid ended up resorting to attacking other planets and stealing all of their resources with the help of his army of Parademons.

The narrator talks about the Kryptonians, a technologically advanced society that lives on the planet Krypton. The planet has been at constant war with the planet of Apokolips, not willing to give up their resources. Thousands have died to this war, as a result the planet is slowly losing soldiers to fight in battle, but then the planet's smartest mind, Jor-El decided to create a AI he called Braniac in order to be in charge of the planets new weapons system for when Darkseid attacks.

We then cut to live action with Darkseid's ship approaching Krypton, and unfortunately when Darkseid attacks, he brings in his main armada and attacks Krypton and the weapons system is overwhelmed by the attack and Darkseid starts sucking away all of the planets resources while his Parademons attacked on the surface of the planet rounding up and killing several members of the Kryptonian race. We then cut to Jor-El running with his wife, who had just given birth to a new Kryptonian named Kal-El over to a room where there is a rocket. Jor-El explains that he knew that the day would come when Darkseid would destroy Krypton, so Jor-El managed to build a rocket so that way, they could be able to launch their new baby boy to another planet away from all the death and destruction. Right then the door is being banged on with Parademons on the other side of it making their way in. The two parents put their baby boy in the rocket and then Jor-El puts a crystal inside of it and then he marks the coordinates of the rocket towards the Milky Way Galaxy, far away from Krypton and Darkseid's wrath. So, then they activate the rocket and Kal-El is sent into space and right then, the door is blasted open and the door is launched right at Jor-El, knocking him back and suddenly through the door way, Darkseid and several Parademons make their way through, then he grabs Jor-El's wife Lara by the neck and raises her in the air and he prepares to disintigrate her with his Omega Beams and Jor-El tries begging for her life and Jor-El tries fighting Darkseid but he is held back by several parademons that grab ahold of him and then Darkseid disintigrates her using his omega beams then Darkseid turns to Jor-El and disintigrates him and then he walks over to Jor-El's computer and then he grabs a data drive from it, unknowing that the data drive actually contains the AI of Braniac.

We then get a shot of earth and we see the rocket speeding towards earth as we then get our title card. We then cut to the small town of Smallville, Massachusetts when we see 2 people, Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent who are home putting away groceries when suddenly they hear a big explosion outside. They go out to their corn field and they see the rocket in a huge crater in their field. They reluctantly open up the rocket and see Kal-El now a toddler in the shuttle. Martha says they should adopt it but Jonathan tells Martha she's crazy because of him not knowing where it came from. Then Martha puts her hand on Jonathan's shoulder and she says that if they don't take care of him, there's no telling what danger the child could get into. Jonathan then agrees, and they take the baby inside and Jonathan hides the rocket and the crystal inside of it in the basement. Jonathan asks what they are gonna call him and what will they say when people start questioning why they have a baby. Martha says that they can just say that he's her cousin's kid and that they should call the child...Clark

We then cut to when Clark is in 1st grade. Clark is doing drawings in his class when suddenly his head starts hurting and he looks up to see everyone but all he sees are their skeletons. Clark gets scared and runs to the bathroom where he sits in the stall and looks down. We then cut to a hour later when we see Martha come by and she tries to comfort him, but all he sees is a skeleton and he walks away. Martha checks him out and takes him home where she figures out that Clark has special abilities and then she discovers that he isn't to see lead so then Jonathan comes home and then gives him a pair of glasses that are infused with lead, making it helpful for him to control this ability.

We then get a montage of Jonathan and Martha raising Clark while he is also discovering new powers like super strength, invulnerability, and super speed. We then cut to Clark when he starts his first day at Smallville High where he meets a new friend named Rolph Jones. There he also meets none other than future love interest Lois who is the head of the schools Journalism Club. We then cut to Lex Luthor, a 21 year old man who had just been given his father's company, in his office at Luthor Corp. We see him talking with Luthor Corps chief scientists, as they tell him about the progress made on project Parasite. A purple like substance that when applied to a person, allows that person to drain the life force of that person. The scientists say that the project has been completed, but the problem is that as long as the stuff is on the user, every 2 hours that person would need to drain the life force of another or else the person would starve and die. Luthor says that they need to ship it off immediately to the military for their use despite the Scientists saying that they still need to work on the problems with it which mainly includes the hourly feedings, and plus the fact its extremely hard to remove. So, then Luthor sends it off in large vats for the military, as we then cut to a truck carrying a lot of substance as suddenly the driver drives over a pot hole in the road that ends up causing one barrel full of the substance to fall of the truck and spill right in the river.

We then cut to the school bus as Rolph and Clark sit on it together. The two talk eventually ending when Clark's glasses fall off and he actually sees under Rolph's shirt revealing several cuts and bruises including a cigarette burn on his shoulder. Clark asks if Rolph is doing alright and Rolph says that he's doing fine. We then cut to the wheels of the bus as they stop and then we see Rolph leave as he gets inside of his home which looks like a normal suburban home on the outside, then Rolph smiles at Clark and waves goodbye and as soon as the bus leaves, Rolph enters inside his home to find it broken, trashed, and ruined. This is a good metaphor for Rolph as for the outside he's happy but on the inside, he’s broken. We then cut to Clark at home on the computer as he starts researching Rolph's family because of him worrying for Rolph. It turns out that when Rolph was 5, his father Malcolm had killed his wife Valencia in cold blood after he got laid off from Luthor Corp, but since the officer that arrested him didn't give him his rights, Malcolm got off Scott free off a technicality.

We then cut to 3 months later as we see Clark's class including both Pete and Rolph on the bus for a field trip. Clark asks Rolph if he's really alright, but Rolph says that he is. Clark says that he found out about what his father did and that he's worrying about how much danger Rolph could be in. In response Rolph gets angry and pushes Clark off the seat telling him its none of his business and that he should leave Rolph alone about it. Seeing this, the bus driver looks towards the back and yells at the kids telling them to quit fighting, but right then a dear appears right in front of the road and the moment the bus driver looks back at the road, he sees the deer and then he turns right into the forest, leading them all to crash into the river. Clark sees the time for action and then he uses his super speed and strength to rescue everyone but one, he couldn't find Rolph in there, Clark tries to swim through the river to try and look for him and he ends up finding him unconscious at the bottom of the lake, Clark grabs him and brings him back onto the land where Rolph is covered by a purple substance. A student performs mouth to mouth to get the water out and he ends up surviving.

Rolph is taken to the hospital where Clark visits him and the doctors say that they can't seem to get whatever the purple stuff is off of him but because they don't know what it is, their keeping Rolph under bandages. Clark goes to see him laying his hospital bed bandaged up. Rolph expresses gratitude towards Clark for saving him and then Clark leaves some flowers for Rolph and Clark says that he wishes that Rolph would get better soon. Clark heads back home where he encounters Jonathan where he has a talk with Clark about what happened with the bus of students. Jonathan then talks about how he shouldn't have revealed his powers like that then Clark asks Jonathan "Well what should I have done, not use my powers and let them drown?". Jonathan then says "No. God no. Me and your mother raised you to be different from that. Trust me Clark me and your mother are proud of you for saving them. But sometimes I worry of what would happen if people found out about your powers, they could take you away, experiment on you, they could kill you...Come on, its finally time I showed you something.". So, then Jonathan takes Clark to the basement where he shows Clark the space ship he came in and then he reaches into his pocket and he pulls out the crystal and he tells Clark to attach it onto the rocket. Clark does, and it activates a hologram of Jor-El, telling Clark where he's from, how he got to earth, and about Krypton. Clark of course is shocked by this and Jonathan says that he already watched it when he accidentally turned on the hologram. Jonathan then says that he and Martha fear that if people found out where he was from then there’s no telling what would happen to Clark. So, they kept the secret from Clark for all these years, but not Jonathan felt like he needed to know the truth. Clark is of course angry that they kept this secret from him all these years, so he runs away from home.

We then cut back to Rolph's hospital room where he calls in the nurse asking for food and she ends up bringing some oat meal. He eats it but only finds that his hunger is increasing, he grabs the nurse by the arm and he asks for more food and then suddenly all of the life force is being drained from her and his hunger starts going away and suddenly she's completely dead on the floor. Rolph is of course horrified by this and he runs off out of the hospital. Rolph then runs to a gas station and goes into the bathroom to remove the bandages and he finally sees he's not human anymore, his skin glowing and bleached from the purple substance and then a man comes into the bathroom, horrified by what he sees then Rolph asks him for help while crying the purple substance out of him and in response the man tries to push him away and Rolph screams the word no as his hands touch him and suddenly all of his life force is drained. Rolph then gets on his knees and cries and then he gets up and grabs the man's clothes and he runs.

We then cut to Luthor Corp as Lex starts getting word of Rolph and his condition and then he sends several armed mercenaries out there to find and bring Rolph to him to experiment on him. We then cut to the smallville high science lab where Clark is sitting down and suddenly he hears the voice of Lois which says "Hello Clark, wasn't expecting you to be here". Then Clark turns around and asks Lois why she's there, and she says that she’s here because of her doing some research for the school paper. Then Lois sits next to Clark and asks why he's there. Clark then says that he's there because he just learned that he's not from around there and that Jonathan and Martha are not his birth parents. Of course, he doesn't tell Lois he's a alien and that he has powers but anyways Lois sympathizes with him and she decides that maybe they should get out of there, get a bite to eat, and talk.

They go out and go to a diner and have a bite to eat, Clark asks what Lois was doing research on and Lois said that recently several green rocks have been falling from the sky, and she actually she managed to grab one and she brought it back to the science lab to take a look at it so she can report on it. Lois then pulls out a box made of lead and opens it to reveal the green rock, which slowly starts to make Clark feel sick, he obviously suspects that it’s the rock and then he goes to the bathroom and the effects do wear off and by the time he comes out he sees Lois put away the box and is fixing to leave when suddenly in the gas station across the road, a purple light and the sound a screaming comes from it. Clark uses his X-Ray vision to see Rolph there sucking the life away from another person. Lois goes over there to check it out and Clark runs over there and right when Rolph is almost finished sucking away all of the man's life energy, Clark goes inside and asks Rolph what he's doing. Rolph responds by saying that he can't stop, and he needs to eat. Clark tries to calm him down but then the guy from behind the checkout counter pulls out a shotgun and fires at Rolph who when the bullets hit him, it doesn't do a thing to him. Clark tries to intervene but is grabbed by Rolph and is thrown out the window but since Rolph touched the clothes Clark was wearing and how his skin, he didn't absorb any of Clark's life. Clark tries to go back in to try and stop him and suddenly Luthor's mercenaries find Rolph, electrocute him enough to knock him out and carry him out of there through their chopper. (W.I.P)
