“When Superman is drawn into conflicts both abroad and at home, his actions to protect humankind are questioned, and his vulnerability allows tech billionaire and master deceiver Lex Luthor to leverage the opportunity to get Superman out of the way for good,|” reads the movie’s official synopsis. “Will the Daily Planet’s intrepid reporter Lois Lane, together with the aid of Metropolis’s other metahumans and Superman’s own four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help Superman before Luthor can completely destroy him?”
Superman will be available for streaming on Friday, September 19, on HBO Max. This will then be followed by its broadcast debut on Saturday, September 20, on HBO.
