Superman: Legacy is a Superman film that's scheduled to come out in 2025. The film serves as a new take on Superman that has a new cast. Several characters have been announced, so we know what heroes and villains will be in the film. Based off of who has been confirmed to be in the film, I have come up for a pitch for the film.
My pitch:
Clark Kent is a friendly, shy, meek news reporter, while Lois Lane is a nosy, bold, selfish news reporter. Clark has had a crush on Lois for a long time, but he hasn't gotten the bravery to ask her out.
One day, Clark decides to visit his adopted parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, at their farm. On the way there, Clark runs into his childhood crush, Lana Lang, and his childhood friend, Pete Ross. Clark and Lana have a friendly chat. Pete tells Clark that Lana still has feelings for him, but Clark doesn't believe him. Clark goes to the farm and tells Jonathan and Martha about his feelings for Lois. They tell Clark that if he truly loves Lois, he should ask her out. As Clark is getting ready to leave the farm, Lana meets back up with him. Lana tries flirting with him, but Clark tries to friendzone her as politely as he can.
Clark returns to work and meets up with Lois. Clark asks her if she wants to have lunch with him, but Lois turns him down. Clark tries to tell her how he feels about her, but Lois starts yelling at Clark. She doesn't know that Clark's Superman, so she thinks that Clark is getting news scoops about Superman's fights with Lex Luthor because he's secretly working for Lex. Clark tries to reason with Lois, but she yells at him in front of the Daily Planet staff. She tells Clark that she'll never love him. Clark's boss, Perry White, feels sorry for Clark, so he gives him a paid sick-day and sends him home. After getting home, Clark receives a call from Lana. Lana asks how things went with Lois. A sad-sounding Clark tells her that things will never work out between him and Lois.
Meanwhile, Lois gets a lead about Lex Luthor working on new inventions, so she and Jimmy Olsen, her immature photographer who wants to prove himself, break into Lex's lab. Lex's secretary, Eve Teschmacher, catches them, so she starts fighting them. Jimmy accidentally turns on an invention that can create fires. Eve grabs Lex's inventions and leaves. Jimmy wants to leave, but Lois insists that he stay and take pictures of Lex's lab. Jimmy refuses and runs away. Lois takes Jimmy's camera and starts taking pictures.
Clark changes into Superman and rushes to the lab. However, by the time that Superman gets there, Lois is gone. Lois is pronounced dead. Superman flies away and starts crying.
Most of the Daily Planet's staff members are happy that Lois is gone, because they thought that she was rude and annoying. However, Perry, Clark and Jimmy, mourn over her loss. Clark and Jimmy both blame themselves for not being able to save Lois. Jimmy wants to prove that he can be bolder by breaking into Lex's building. He finds an invention that can take away superpowers from superheroes. Jimmy turns on his signal watch to get Superman to come to him. Jimmy and Superman meet up on the top of a building. Jimmy explains that he's always wanted to be a hero, so he uses Lex's invention to transport Superman's superpowers into his own body. Jimmy becomes a superpowered person, so he flies away. Now that Superman doesn't have superpowers, he has to learn how to fight crime without powers. Thankfully, he once received training from Batman in case he ever lost his powers. Superman uses his training to fight common criminals.
Eve informs Lex that one of his inventions has been stolen. Lex is angry about this, but he believes that he'll think of a new plan. Suddenly, a superpowered woman, who is called the Engineer, appears in Lex's office. Lex tries to convince the Engineer to help him defeat Superman. However, the Engineer beats up Lex, shoots Lex in the chest, and flies away. The Engineer thinks that she has killed Lex, but Lex reveals to Eve that he was wearing a bulletproof vest underneath his business suit.
Jimmy flies to the Fortress of Solitude and steals one of Superman's costumes. After that, he sends a message to other superheroes to show up for an important meeting. Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho and Mister Terrific show up at the Fortress of Solitude. The superheroes are mad at Jimmy for stealing Superman's superpowers. Jimmy explains that he's just trying to be a hero, but the superheroes tell him that stealing superpowers makes him more of a villain than a hero. Jimmy refuses to admit that he's gone too far, so he decides to take away the superpowers from the superheroes. The superheroes try to fight Jimmy without their superpowers, but Jimmy beats all of them up and sends them to the Phantom Zone.
Meanwhile, the Engineer breaks into the Daily Planet and starts insulting the staff. She threatens to kill the staff, but Perry pleads with her to not kill his staff. The Engineer notes that Perry is more concerned with saving his staff than saving himself, so she decides to let the staff live.
Jimmy is going for a flight around the city when Lex spots him. Lex figures out that Jimmy stole his invention, so he threatens to report Jimmy to the police. Jimmy grabs and Lex and threatens to kill him. However, Superman shows up and tells Jimmy that if he kills Lex, he'll become a villain. Jimmy starts feeling guilty, so he lets Lex go. Lex pulls out a piece of Kryptonite and starts using it to weaken Jimmy. Since Superman doesn't have his superpowers, he's no longer affected by Kryptonite. Superman takes the Kryptonite away from Lex and tells him to leave.
The Engineer starts looking for criminals to execute. However, Jimmy shows up and starts using his superpowers to fight her. Superman runs up to Jimmy and begs him to give him his powers back, but Jimmy ignores him.
The Engineer starts speaking, and Superman and Jimmy instantly recognize her voice. The Engineer is Lois. Lois explained that the accident in Lex's lab turned her into the Engineer. She had been planning on killing all of the co-workers that hated her, but Perry's selfless desire to protect his employees inspired her to let them go. Superman tells her that it's not too late to become a superhero. However, the Engineer ignores Superman's advice. She grabs Superman and starts beating him up. Superman puts up a good fight, but he ends up passing out. Jimmy starts fighting the Engineer. Jimmy has the superpowers of Superman and four other superheroes, so he poses a threat to the Engineer. However, Jimmy doesn't have the heart to hurt his former friend, so he lets the Engineer win the fight.
The Engineer goes around and starts executing criminals. Superman wakes up and uses some special fight moves that he learned from Batman to knock out the Engineer. Jimmy asks Superman what he's going to do with the Engineer, because she's too powerful to stay in a regular prison. A bystander suggests snapping the Engineer's neck, but Superman refuses to do that. Superman has Jimmy fly him and the Engineer to the Fortress of Solitude. Superman uses Lex's invention to get his superpowers back. Superman frees the superheroes from the Phantom Zone and sends the Engineer to the Phantom Zone.
Jimmy finally admits what he did was wrong and apologizes to Superman. Since Jimmy stole Lex's property and the superpowers from superheroes, he has to be taken into police custody. Jimmy has to spend some time in prison. However, Clark visits him and tells him that he convinced Perry to give him his job back as soon as he's done serving his prison sentence.
Clark goes back to the farm and tells Jonathan and Martha about what happened. Clark fears that since Lois rejected him, he's going to wind up alone. However, Lana approaches him and tells him that she still likes him. Clark realizes that Lana's the right person for him to be with, so he asks her if she'll go with him. Lana smiles and becomes his girlfriend.
Back at the Daily Planet, Clark fears that things won't be the same without Lois and Jimmy. However, Perry tells Clark that the Daily Planet still has a symbol of hope. Clark assumes that Perry's referring to Superman, but Perry calls Clark his hero. Clark realizes that he makes things better for people as both a news reporter and a superhero, so he feels motivated to keep being a hero. In the Phantom Zone, the Engineer meets General Zod, who is accompanied by Faora, Ursa and Non. Zod demands that the Engineer kneel before him, but she refuses to. Zod admires the Engineer's assertiveness, so he lets her go.
Before the credits roll, Superman flies into space and smiles at the camera like he did in the original films. In the after-credits scene, Lex shows up at the Fortress and frees Zod and his friends. Zod smiles and says that he'll find Superman.
