The twelfth DCEU film, the fourteenth project. It all started with them, so it's only fair that the end of this first phase should begin with them as well. Their path led them here, to the inevitable clash. Superman versus Lex Luthor.
After the battle against Zod and Superman in Metropolis, the confrontation between Steppenwolf and the heroes now known as the Justice League, and the attack by Atlantis on the surface, public opinion is divided about Superman. While some are grateful that the hero saved them, that he is responsible for the world continuing to turn and the sky remaining blue, some believe that metahumans, those who call themselves heroes, especially the Kryptonian, are responsible for these threats arising. This opinion is fueled by Lex Luthor, who, since Zod's attack, has been publicly campaigning to fuel hatred against Superman. As part of his plan to discredit him, Luthor releases Parasite, selling him as a dangerous alien, when in fact he is the result of a LexCorp experiment. However, when his plan fails and Superman saves the day, Luthor decides that if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself, leading him to don his battle armor to show Superman and everyone else who the real Man of Tomorrow is.
