Superman Adventures

While there are quite a few things in these stories that wouldn’t work (just yet) in the DCEU, Man of Steel 2 could adapt and expand several stories from 22 Stories in a Single Bound. Thus, following the death and the revival of Superman (in Justice League, of course), the director could ask the people of Metropolis what they think about the superhero (What would you do if you were Superman?).

Lois Lane, on the other hand, will have to find a way to save herself and not rely on the Man of Steel each and every time (A Week in the Life of Lois Lane), while someone else at the Daily Planet discovers Superman’s real identity (Scoop of the Century).

Obviously, there needs to be some action in the film – in this case, While You Were Sleeping, the Man of Steel battles Metallo (All in a Day’s Work), defeats a version of Brainiac for real (Bibbo vs. Brainiac), or defeats Parasyte (Blackout).

In the end, Kal-El debunks the Daily Planet story about Clark Kent being Superman, saying that all the people of Earth are supermen.
