This is my first article in a while and it is the story and cast of how I think a Superman movie should be. If you haven't read any of my Superman stories before go to my fan site and check them out.
The Story:
The opening scene starts out on a mysterious planet far away from Earth and we see a cowering Bruno Manheim who is neiling before a massive, entity who is covered in the shadows around him. Bruno Manheim says to this ominous man " please let me go back home" and the shadow figure asks "why" and Bruno say " so I get revenge on the man who caused me to be here. The people of Earth call him Superman."This catches the attention of this man he then stands up and walks out of the shadows. His face looks like it is made out of stone and he stands at about eight feet tall. This man Says "tell me more about this Superman and the planet you are from". Bruno gets a slight smile on his face and says " Superman is a man from another planet who acts as our hero he has amazing powers and is the most powerful being on earth". This giant man then tells one of his soldiers to get the transporter ready and says " we have a planet to visit".
At the Daily Planet mild mannered reporter Clark Kent is at his desk when Perry White yells "Kent what are you doing sitting around when you and Lane are supposed to be getting a plane to Gotham for the Wayne Enterprises Expo" then Clark swiftly gets up and hurries out the door and meets Lois in the lobby of the Planet building and the two of them head out the door. On the airplaneLois and Clark are talking about What questions they will ask Bruce Wayne. Suddenly the airplane starts violently shifting and the turbulence just keeps getting worse. Clark sees something fly past the window. After that the turbulence stops. Hours later the two reporters land in Gotham. Clark is still stranged out by the thing he saw go past the plane. Clark Later during the day changes into his Superman costume and goes of to investigate that thing that flew past their plane.
At Lexcorp Lex Luthor is working on a new weapon for the military that extracts the energy from any power source that is available in the area. Lex tells his board of directors that this weapon will revolutionize technological warfare by extracting the energy from all of the machines in the area enabling the enemy powerless and open for attack. After the meeting Lex leaves the building and the janitor comes in to work. The janitor who works at both Lexcorp and Star Labs is name Rudy Jones. Rudy is cleaning Lex's office and when he is finished he heads towards the laboratory where the new weapon is set on display with a blanket covering it. Rudy's curiosity causes him to pull the blanket off and when he does that he accidently moves a switch that turns the machines power on. Rudy looks at it and put the blanket back on the machine and walks away. While leaving the room Rudy accidentally dumps his mop bucket and the water travels over to the machine and as so as that happens the machine releases a surge of electricy into Ruby's body. The machine then explodes and causes and the radiaction changes his body into a purple color he then hurries up and runs out of the building.
Superman is flying around the area his plane was over when the turbulence happened and he spots a crater in the forest below. He descends to the crater and sees a small spaceship in the center of the hole and then suddenly he is grabbed and thrown by a man who is wearing high tech gear. superman lands on the ground and then uses his speed and hits this man in his stomach. This mystery man then pulls out a strange weapon and fires it at Superman blowing him back several hundred feet. Superman gets up and punches the weapon away from him and hits the man into the air. When the man lands on the ground Superman grabs him by the clothing on his chest and demands to know who he is. The man then says "my name is Orion." Superman puts him down and asks him "why are you here" and Orion says " I am here to stop the apocalypse that is about to destroy your planet." Superman says "what apocylpse" and Orion says it is not an event it is a person and person who is coming here to destroy it in search of a worthy opponent." Then Superman says "he must be searching for me because I am the only one worthy to fight him." Superman then asks "how did he find out about me" and Orion says " a human by the name Bruno Manheim was somehow telported to the planet and told the master about you and now he is headed to this planet right now." Superman asks Orion "what is the name of this man who is coming to kill me and how do you so much about him? Orion says "he likes to be called god but his real name is Darkseid and I know about him because I am his long lost son." Superman says "long lost son?" Orion then tells Superman that he is from the planet Apokolypse where Darkseid is the all powerful ruler but Darkseid made a peace agreement with a neighboring planet and the agreement involves trading the heirs to the crown of each planet so Orion went to the peaceful planet and the other child went with Darkseid. Superman and Orion then fly awy together.
At Lexcorp Lex gets the news of the accident and goes to his destroyed laboratory when he remembers the the security cameras and he goes to the security office and sees the whole accident on camera. Lex sees the man who is in the accident and asks one of his employees who that man is and the employee says that the man is Rudy Jones the janitor. Lex then sees the end of the video when he sees Rudy who is turned a strange purple color and runs runs away Lex then looks at the camera with a strange smile on his face. Meanwhile is hiding in an alley a couple of blocks away he has a small mirror in his hand and is horrified by his appearance he then sees gets very hungry so he puts on a jacket and asks a man passing by for some money. The man ignores him and just keeps walking and Rudy then grabs the man by the arm in a rage. He says " he buddy give me some money please" the man suddenly starts to convulse after Rudy touches him and the man falls to the ground Ruby then gets a strange rush of power and he relized that he just stole this man's energy and runs away with the man's wallet.
On Apokolips we see Darkseid and Bruno Manheim are going through a portal to Earth it will take about 7 hours to get there.

"what is it" says Rudy. Lex replies by saying "I want you to meet me at the labs tomorrow at five.

Then Perry says "well you guys have a lot of work to do involving this thing that fought Superman yesterday. Then calrk hears an emergency alarm and says that he has to go. Superman then flies through the sky.

Superman then warns Lex by saying "watch your back because I will be watching you." Lex smiles evilly.
The cast
Superman/Clark Kent-Brandon Routh
I am a proud supporter of a Routhboot I think he has great potential.
Lois Lane-Rachel McAdams
I think she is the best choice for Lois I can picture her the spunky strong headed reporter
Lex Luthor-Garrett Hedlund
Yes I know he is younge but I think he would be awesome as a villain and I kind of like the idea of a younger Lex Luthor it makes his rivalry with Superman more personal.
Jimmy Olsen-Anton Yelchin
He is a fan favoritte and I like him as an actor so what the heck.
Perry White-Dustin Hoffman
He is a great veteran actor and he would pull off the character wonderfully.
Orion-Jeremy Renner
He is another great actor and he would be awesome in the action scenes and he would pull of the character perfectly.
Rudy Jones/Parasite-Ben foster
I know he doesn't resemble the character very much but he is a fantastic actor and an awesome villain actor cgi can always be used for exerything else.
Bruno Manheim-Oliver Platt
My version of the character is a normal mob boss who is sort of a douche and Oliver Platt is good at playing douchebags.
Darkseid-CGI Michael Ironside
Ironside was absolutley awesome on the animated series so I would love to see him in a movie as the character.
Bruce Wayne-Christian Bale
I really couldn't imagine any other actor playing Wayne. Bale is Batman
Well enjoy.
