Kevin Patrick Smith (born August 2, 1970) is an American filmmaker, actor, comedian, public speaker, comic book writer, author, and podcaster. He came to prominence with the low-budget comedy film Clerks (1994), which he wrote, directed, co-produced, and acted in as the character Silent Bob of stoner duo Jay and Silent Bob. Jay and Silent Bob also appeared in Smith's later films Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Clerks II and Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, which are set primarily in his home state of New Jersey. While not strictly sequential, the films have crossover plot elements, character references, and a shared canon known as the "View Askewniverse", named after Smith's production company View Askew Productions, which he co-founded with Scott Mosier.

My version of Man of Steel would similarly follow the origins of Superman, focusing mostly on how he is secretly helping the people of Metropolis, and intercut with flashbacks to his discovery of his super powers with his Earth parents, slowly revealed over the course of the film, and ultimately coming to terms with his alien origins as revealed to him by Zod. In the end of Act 1, he encounters Bloodsport and takes him into custody, setting up the first member of The Suicide Squad, which will become a recurring theme in my version of the DCEU, laying the groundwork for multiple movies at once in each film to help them feel more connected and make the audience not feel lost by the time we reach our ensemble cast films. Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor meet at a fancy party, our first introduction to Bruce. Lex Luthor gets the arc that Bruce Wayne did in Snyder’s version, which makes much more sense for his character. Superman and Zod’s battle destroys parts of Metropolis, with Superman trying to take the fighting out of the city and Zod trying to bait him back each time by destroying it. The battle ends with the death of Zod over the ocean, and includes a mid credits scene with LexCorp exhuming his body from the sea, setting up Man of Steel 2, and this is where the audience will first encounter Aquaman.
