Brave New Metropolis shows a very different Man of Steel: a broken Superman who trades hope for control, teaming up with Lex Luthor to rule Metropolis with an iron fist. But this isn’t just another “evil Superman” story, it’s a tragedy about guilt, grief, and what makes Superman the greatest hero in the first place.
In this video, I explore how this alternate-universe Superman became a tyrant, why his fall from grace feels so believable, and what it reveals about the core of his character. More than anything, it’s a reminder of why the real Superman (the one who chooses kindness, restraint, and hope every single day) is so extraordinary.
If you’ve ever thought Superman was boring, this is the story that proves you wrong.
