Synopsis
Unable to convince the ruling council of Krypton that their world will destroy itself soon, scientist
Jor-El takes drastic measures to preserve the Kryptonian race: He sends his infant son Kal-El to Earth.
There, gaining great powers under Earth's yellow sun, he will become a champion of truth and justice.
Raised by the Kents, an elderly farm couple, Clark Kent learns that his abilities must be used for good.
The adult Clark travels to Metropolis, where he becomes a mild-mannered reporter for the Daily
Planet...and a caped wonder whose amazing feats stun the city: Superman! Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, the
world's greatest criminal mind, is plotting the greatest real estate swindle of all time. Can't even the Man
of Steel stop this evil scheme?
