One day, a LexCorp crew finds a crashed meteorite with a large green rock inside. Luthor gets a visit from Superman who tells him he is making people lose jobs and destroys ecosystems around the world. The green stone found by LexCorp turns out to weaken Superman. Luthor uses this to create a robotic cyborg man named Metallo out of soldier John Corben to stop Superman. Superman fights Metallo, and saves the day. In the final scene, Clark asks Lois out on a date.
