Clark Kent begins his first year as Superman, emerging as Earth’s symbol of hope while balancing his life at the Daily Planet with Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen. A cosmic threat arrives: Brainiac, the collector of civilizations, seeking to add Earth and its greatest minds to his collection alongside the bottled city of Kandor. In the depths of Brainiac’s ship, Clark discovers Kandor still intact — and among Brainiac’s prisoners, a lone Kryptonian girl in stasis: Kara Zor-El, his cousin, sent from Krypton before its destruction. With her is Krypto, the loyal superdog who was part of an early Kryptonian rocket experiment. Clark frees Kara and Krypto, and as Kara awakens, she struggles to understand this new world and the loss of their home. Together, the cousins stand against Brainiac, whose cold logic sees Kryptonians as rare specimens to be preserved, not free. Clark’s compassion and Kara’s raw strength become the key to defeating Brainiac, not through power alone, but through proving the worth of free will and hope. Superman, Supergirl, and Krypto ensure Kandor’s safety, though the city remains trapped in its bottled state, promising future challenges. Post Credits: In the shadows of another city, a Batarang embeds into a monitor as Gotham news outlets report on Superman’s heroic rise.
