Huh?

What's going on?

Why...

Ahhh!

You stole from us.

You committed a litany of crimes. with our technology.

You destroyed property and endangered citizens.

But today, you will repay your debt to society.

- Ivo? - All right, ladies and gentlemen...

it's moving day.

- Come on! - Help!

Hello?

Come away from the window.

Hello?

- Help! - Huh?

Help, help!

Help me.

Oh, no! The brakes aren't working!

Help me!

Oh, my gosh!

Negative.

After this operation, Superman will cease to be a problem.

Permanently.

The General.

Help. Help, please.

Hey, Clark. I'm back from my parents.

Sorry if you tried to call. I forgot my charger.

Oh. Hmm.

500 new followers?

"Superman put out the house fire!"

"Superman flew us to school."

"Flamebro! Superman saved my uncle!"

Wow!

Clark's been busy.

Oh! You have no idea, Jimmy.

I heard you all the way from the warehouse district.

There was almost a bulldozer accident.

I stopped it. I have super-hearing.

This is so going on Flamebird.

What's super-hearing like?

It's nuts! I can... I can hear a... A...

A cat in tree.

I can hear everyone.

And Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!

They have problems.

Hmm.

Uh, you've been sleeping much, buddy?

Not for a few days,

but that's not important,

because I heard him. The General.

The guy who attacked you?

And destroyed Cadmus and kidnapped Heat Wave,

Intergang and every other person who touched his crazy tech weapons.

He's in the city and he's planning something.

I can't stop until I find him.

Okay.

This is a lot for a Monday.

Um, maybe we just go to work and...

Oh, Lois, I almost forgot.

Wait!

One million new followers?

Uh...

Never mind.

Keep doing what you're doing, buddy.

What?

Clark...

That can't be you.

Can it?

Lane.

Lane! Good, you're here.

Come with me. Quickly.

Why?

Uh, what's going on?

Today, I need you to assist our guest editorial writer,

but I also need you to not freak out.

Uh, why would I freak out?

- It's Vicki Vale! - I know.

The reporter who broke the Queen Industries inheritance scandal.

Who took down the Falcones.

Perry, do you even know how many awards she's won?

Yes, it's very impressive, but...

I have a poster of her in my bedroom.

Neat. I've got a poster of me in my office

and I've lost track on the awards side.

But who's really counting?

Other than the prize committees.

Okay, Vicki, meet...

Lois Lane, it's an honor!

Nice to meet you too.

You know, when Per-Bear here gave me a call,

begging me to write an editorial for the Planet.

- Not begging, offering. - I said, why not?

We knew each other in college.

I ran the number one student newspaper in the country.

Hmm, don't know who was number two.

Me. That was me.

Hey, I still have pictures from then.

This is amazing!

And there's Olsen. He'll be your photographer.

Fantastic.

Look, Vicki's a lot, but she's thinking of leaving the Gotham Gazette.

And if she does,

I want her here winning us awards.

So today, I need you to do

whatever you can to keep her happy.

Got it?

That will not be a problem, Chief.

Don't call me that.

I will crush this assignment.

Gang's all here. Great.

- Let's go. - Of course.

What story are we chasing, Miss Vale?

Please, Lois, call me Vicki.

And we're writing about the number one greatest danger to Metropolis...

Superman.

What?

Okay, General, where are you?

Has anybody heard from anybody?

Sorry.

What do you mean, you lost him?

We need to know his whereabouts.

Lost?

Lost who?

Mommy!

Where are you?

I can't find you.

Hey there.

Hey, it's okay.

My name is Superman.

I'll find your parents.

What's your name?

- Libby. - Give me one second, Libby.

What? No, no, please don't.

What's going on?

Libby? Libby!

I've got 'em. You ready?

Honey, where are you?

Libby!

- Oh! - Mommy!

On a crime spree downtown,

citizens are urged to stay indoors

as he may be armed and dangerous.

Intergang. The Invisible Man.

He's the one The General's looking for.

Superman's an overpowered vigilante who doesn't answer to anyone.

Trust me, kids, no one puts on that big a show of being good

unless they're hiding something.

That's not true.

I mean, he has secrets, but he wouldn't, um...

He just... He wants to help.

A superpowered being shows up, and all he wants is to pull cats out of trees?

Yeah, I'm not buying it.

I've got that award feeling about this.

We'll interview people, get the dirt.

Show everyone, Superman isn't to be trusted.

No, you can't.

Excuse me?

What I mean is, you should let us set up interviews for you.

That's why you wanted our help, right?

We know Metropolis and the people in it better than anyone.

Well, that, and it annoyed Perry.

We call him Chief and he hates it.

I love it.

All right, kids, what do you got?

Captain Immonen, fifth unit pilot.

Superman saved my life when my engine stalled out.

Without him, I wouldn't be here today.

Oh.

Such a nice boy.

And he carries my groceries.

Flip Johnson.

Woman of business.

Mm-hmm.

A literal child. Okay.

And what is your relationship to Superman?

He saved Flip's life. Twice!

And he let Patti interview him from the Newskid Newspaper.

- The what? - I'm glad you asked.

The Newskid Newspaper is the latest...

- It's Clark. - The people...

Sorry, I don't have much time.

An Invisible Man is running around,

and I think he's connected to The General.

I need to find him.

Ooh. I bet one of my one million followers will know where he is.

Now two million!

Are you okay?

Birdwatchers say an invisible force broke the window

at Morrison's Pawn Shop less than a minute ago.

Thanks, Jimmy! Lois, I'll be fine.

Be careful.

Hey, what are you two doing?

Oh.

Uh, just, uh, talking about who your next interview should be.

Oh, I've got that covered.

Let's go meet my final interview subject.

Superman's no hero.

He's the end of the world.

Is he now?

Tell me everything.

Wait!

You say Superman is dangerous?

Are you kidding?

Look around. Superman is a criminal.

He destroyed this tower, bankrupted Amazo Tech

and put thousands out of work, including me.

Wow. I see this and I see a level of destruction

no human could ever achieve.

Exactly.

He shows up out of the blue, same time as that crazy tech...

And what a coincidence that is.

Superman wiped out good American jobs.

He turned your city into a war zone.

At what point will he destroy the rest of Metropolis?

He's not normal, like you or me.

Anything's possible.

I can't believe this! He's Superman.

He uses his powers to save people!

Oh, he does? And what happens when he decides that having powers

means he doesn't have to follow our laws anymore?

If he really wanted to hurt us, what could we do about it?

With how powerful Superman is,

just him having a bad day could spell the end for us.

Can you really say we're safer with him overhead?

I...

I think I've made my point.

No, that's not...

I know Superman and he wouldn't do that.

I know he wouldn't.

Well, not all of us share your faith.

Beautiful.

I got what I needed. Thanks, Alex. I'll be in touch.

Wait! He's a biased source.

Hmm? Unlike your contacts?

That... That's different.

Vicki, you can't publish this.

You want to be number one?

You don't get there by writing fluff.

You go for blood.

That's something Perry never understood.

Do you?

Ahhh!

Wait, I just want to talk.

No!

- Huh? - What the heck!

You could've killed someone.

Get away from him. He's dangerous.

There's a huge accident and Superman caused it.

I'm... I'm sorry. I was trying to save...

I'm sorry.

We need to... We need to stop her

or talk to Perry or...

We need to get to Clark.

- Clark! - Where are you?

Clark. What is going on?

I ran into some trouble.

You ran into a truck.

I didn't mean to, but Mist ran into traffic...

If I hadn't jumped in, he'd... He'd be dead.

And this is my one shot to find The General.

And if you find him, what then?

You're going to fight the US military?

That man kidnapped people, Lois.

I have to stop him.

You're burning yourself out.

And I can see what they're saying about you.

It's not good. Wait!

"Superman's dangerous."

"He should go back to where he came from."

I've... scared them.

And I'm going to have to fix that.

But right now,

I need to find The General before...

Well, maybe you shouldn't.

At least not right now, uh...

Take a break from being Superman and just try being normal.

Normal.

Clark. No, I... I...

Come on, Kent.

Focus.

Ah!

Ahhh!

Don't be afraid. I'm here to talk.

Leave me alone!

I'm not trying to hurt you.

Then let me go!

I need to save my sister.

Your sister? What happened to her?

They grabbed us after you ruined our bank job.

I got away, but they got Siobhan and Albert.

They took him into an underground facility with their other prisoners.

I found out that they're moving everyone out today.

To some new location.

If I don't break them out now, I might never find them again.

You can do whatever you want with me after.

Just... Just let me spring my sister and my best friend first.

I can't let you do that.

Not alone.

If you show me where they're holding her, I'll help you get them back.

We're too late!

No, we're not.

Everyone, hold on. I'm here to help.

But you're prisoners...

Oh, we're on a work-release program.

Can you guess what the job is?

It's getting back at you!

Ahhh!

Hey, buddy.

Did you really think you could ruin my life without any consequences?

Ahhh!

I found a new backer for my Parasite tech.

And they hate you as much as I do.

Oh, no. I'm not done with you yet.

We can't stop Clark, but we can stop Vicki.

We'll talk to Perry.

Whoa! Did you see what Vicki Vale just posted?

"The Gotham Gazette's new Editor-in-chief!"

She used us to get promoted.

This is going to hurt Clark.

Lois.

Ahhh!

That's the west entrance. Come on.

No!

Ahhh!

I told you, Superman.

This ends when I'm done!

That's enough.

Stand down, Ivo.

Ahhh!

You're done when I say you're done, Ivo.

Why are you doing this?

Because you're no hero.

You are the end of the world.

- No, I only want to... - Shut him up.

No.

No.

They've taken Clark.
