Lex claims that Superman might be a global threat because of his involvement in the Boravia-Jarhanpur situation. He proposes a solution to the U.S. government, a special task force he calls Planet Watch. This unit includes his most powerful assets: the Engineer (María Gabriela de Faría), Ultra Man, and a fleet of flying armored soldiers. However, the government is reluctant to approve his plan unless he can present solid evidence that Superman poses a serious danger.
While Lex looks for a way to bring Superman down, Superman continues doing what he does best. He saves lives. Whether it is stopping an enormous kaiju or going toe-to-toe with a mysterious iron suit, he shows up. He is not alone either. Sometimes, he gets help from his loyal dog, Krypto. Other times, the Justice Gang steps in. The team includes Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced), and Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi). But their support is limited. They are under Maxwell Lord and his company, so their involvement depends on the situation.
Outside of saving the world, Superman lives a quieter life as Clark Kent. He works as a journalist for The Daily Planet alongside his best friend Jimmy Olsen (Skyler Gisondo) and his girlfriend, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan). Lois knows the truth about Clark and Superman, and they’re secretly dating. Though, it’s not working out perfectly as both would've want to.
But despite everything, from relationship issue to world-ending problems, one thing remains clear. The world needs Superman. So when Lex finally makes his move and begins to carry out his plan to eliminate him, Superman must find the strength to face his biggest challenge yet.
