The original story for “Superman: Man of Tomorrow” finds Clark Kent working as an intern for the Daily Planet and learning on the job how to save the city of Metropolis.
Darren Criss, who can be seen on Netflix this weekend starring in Ryan Murphy’s new drama Hollywood, will lead the Superman: Man of Tomorrow cast as the big blue boy scout himself. Zachary Quinto, who got his start playing the murderous supervillain Sylar on NBC’s Heroes, will here voice one of the greatest supervillains of all time: Lex Luthor. Alexandra Daddario (San Andreas) will voice Lois Lane.
Additionally, Superman villains Lobo and Parasite will also feature in the film, with Ryan Hurst (The Walking Dead) voicing the role of “The Man Man,” while the Parasite (Rudy Jones) will be voice by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Brett Dalton.
The rest of the voice cast includes Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3) as fellow superhero Martian Manhunter, Neil Flynn (Scrubs) as Jonathan Kent, and Bellamy Young (Scandal) as Martha Kent. Superman: Man of Tomorrow is directed by Chris Palmer (Voltron: Legendary Defender) and written by Tim Sheridan (The Death of Superman), with Butch Lukic (Justice League, Batman Beyond) serving as supervising producer.

I’m getting the impression that this film will be a mix of the Superman American alien story and Superman Secret origins. I like what I see so far from this trailer.

100% agree. Not sure if we needed another origin story.
Lex: “ What’s the S for?”
Superman: “Superman.”
So it is an S! 😀
Sorry about that. A little joke referencing MoS. 😉
Not feeling this so far. If they were going to pull from something I wish it wasn’t American Alien. Don’t like the idea of Lobo being his first super-brawl and it seems way too early for him to be meeting Martian Manhunter who is apparently an already established hero before Superman?
