Matthew Broderick (born March 21, 1962) is an American stage and screen actor. Broderick began acting in off-Broadway productions in the early 1980s, soon after landing a role in Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs, for which he won a Tony Award. His first screen role was in Max Dugan Returns (1983), also penned by Neil Simon. His breakout role came the same year for his role as a young hacker in WarGames. Later Broderick starred in the hit film Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), making him a household name. Subsequent notable films include Glory (1989), The Lion King (1994), The Cable Guy (1996), Godzilla (1998), and Election (1999). Broderick also continued acting on Broadway, including several musicals. He won a second Tony Award in 1995 for his performance in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and a third nomination in 2001 for The Producers. In 1985 while on vacation in Ireland with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Grey, Broderick was involved in a head on collision that killed two locals. He was deemed at fault and faced up to five years in prison on the charge of causing death by dangerous driving, but was convicted of a lesser charge and fined £100. Broderick has been married to actress Sarah Jessica Parker since 1997, and the couple have three children.
The first entry in a 1990s style DCU. Here we see a retelling of Clark's origin, his first few years as The Man of Steel in a more grounded, yet faithful to the character style than its 1970s/80s counterpart. This will be the springboard to which the DCU jumps off of and will also see Lex Luthor become the man which we know today. During Superman's first year as the caped crusader, Luthor is creating a program through LexCorp that allows for US Military service members to volunteer to be next in line for a new, state of the art, robotic suit, powered by kryptonite. John Corben is first to sign up and in his first battle with Superman, a bullet shot at Supes by Corben, bounces off and hits the suit in such a way that sets off a chain reaction, almost killing Corben. Superman then flies his mangled body and suit to the nearest hospital, where Luthor intercepts him, claiming that he (Luthor) will take it from here. Through this first trial run, Luthor is able to save Corben with his Kryptonite now operating as his heart, and also make a new suit specifically for Luthor that is able to team up with the newly formed Metallo.
