Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020)
Dir. Chris Palmer
As soon as the DCAMU was ended, the Tomorrowverse continuity was launched. The Adam Strange DC Showcase short (on the JLD: Apokolips War disc) is its beginning, but the first feature-length movie was the aptly named Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2020).
It explores the Kryptonian's early years, firstly as a youth in Smallville and then as a twenty-something adult in Metropolis working as an intern at the Daily Planet newspaper. The latter period is a modern 'smartphone' era. In ways that are both subtle and not, we see his pain at feeling alien and misunderstood.
Things thereafter descend into mostly mediocrity and blandness, with some very uninspired directing choices. It was the director's first feature film, so some allowances must be made, but even with those in place some scenes — such as the one wherein a costumed Supes first meets Lex Luthor — are amateurish at best. I don't mean that to sound unkind; it's simply an opinion.
