Clark Kent is balancing a serious relationship with Lois Lane while mentoring his impulsive, traumatized cousin, Kara Zor-El. Haunted by memories of Krypton’s fall, Kara warns Clark that the "Collector of Worlds," Brainiac, is coming. After intercepting a robotic scout, the duo travels into deep space to find its origin. Lex Luthor reveals he's been building a robotic suit that was built to defeat Superman, but he decides to use it for good for now. They discover Brainiac, a hyper-intelligent cyborg who shrinks and steals one capital city from every planet before destroying the rest to ensure his data remains "unique." Inside Brainiac’s ship, Superman finds the Bottle City of Kandor. Though briefly captured, Clark and Kara escape with help from Kara's father, Zor-El, and brings the bottled city back to Earth. Brainiac follows, launching a massive assault. Despite the bravery of Earth’s heroes, Brainiac successfully shrinks and bottles Metropolis. To finish the job, he fires a missile into the Sun to trigger a supernova. Superman infiltrates the ship once more, realizing Brainiac’s weakness: he cannot process chaotic, unpredictable data. While Supergirl flies to intercept the solar missile, Superman drags Brainiac out of his sterile ship and into the "messy" biological environment of Earth. Overwhelmed by the sensory input of billions of evolving organisms, Brainiac suffers a mental breakdown and combusts. With the help of Mr. Terrific, John Stewart, Martian Manhunter, Maxima, and other heroes, they use Brainiac’s technology to restore Metropolis. Supergirl and Superman then place Kandor on a new planet, allowing Kryptonians to rebuild, followed by a montage of heroes restoring other stolen cities across the galaxy. Realizing life is too fragile to wait, Clark finally proposes to Lois. Post-credit scene: Amidst the wreckage, remnants of Brainiac’s components flicker back to life.
