Clark Kent Across the Multiverse (Movie Concept)

And here is the third in our standalone trilogy, centered on a young Clark growing up and learning about his powers. This time, it's a crossover movie with the Supergirl and Power Girl of the Cinematic Universe, paving the way for a Crisis on Infinite Earths event:

We start out back at Clark’s home in Smallville, as his parents throw him a birthday for his eighteenth birthday. Lois is there, now his girlfriend, and Chloe, Pete, and Lana are all in attendance, Krypto running around and being a happy dog. They talk about his plans now that they’re about to graduate and he mentions that he and Lois both have a paid internship at the Daily Planet, and have saved up for an apartment in the city.

The next day, Clark visits his old friend Leslie in the hospital, still comatose from her run-in with the Parasite two years before, her skin still a grayish blue. Clark talks to her, confessing to her that he was the hero who saved her all those years ago but failed to save her parents, and apologizes to her that he wasn’t able to save her the second time. He touches her hand as he goes, just a little bit of his energy passing into her.

As he goes out and meets up with Lois, strange things happen at the hospital, Leslie’s eyes shifting around, as the lights and machinery flicker and objects start to float around the room. Clark and Lois are right in the middle of tossing a frisbee with Krypto when a loud explosion rocks the part, and both Clark and Krypto are nearly debilitated by a loud buzzing. Lois holds Krypto while Clark races to see what happened.

He arrives to see the hospital in flames, the entire ward where Leslie had been exploded. A strange figure entirely made of electricity rises from the smoke. Her eyes fall on Clark, recognizing him and saying “You!” Clark, believing her to have killed his friend, goes after the lightning person, trying to attack her, but finding her invulnerable to his attacks. She shocks him with a lot of volts, enough to actually do damage to him. Their battle leads them away from the hospital, towards a power plant, where Clark tries to overload her the way he did the Parasite. He manages to do it, just as reality seems to warp around him for a second, and the electric person vanishes into thin air.

He returns to the hospital to find that Leslie is gone, everything that had been in her room disintegrated. He cries out in despair, Krypto and Lois arriving to comfort him. Meanwhile, Leslie Willis finds herself tumbling through a void of twisting shapes and colors, her mind slowly coming back to itself as her body regains some amount of form. As she falls, she sees strange images, of worlds like her own, but with slight differences to each. Here we possibly have lots of cameos of other renditions of Superman and DC universes, as well as one where she sees herself, surrounded by her parents and siblings alive and well.

She finally lands in a strange void, where a machine floats on a chunk of rock, a strange man in an owl costume trying to work on it. The man introduces himself as Owlman, the same from the Supergirl movie, and played by the Batman actor from said cinematic universe. He tells her that his machine was meant to open a doorway through the multiverse, but thanks to some meddlers, the machine malfunctioned and was pulled through its own doorway, taking him with it. He theorizes that because of her electrical powers, she was pulled into the multiverse at the same moment from her own universe. He makes a deal with her that if she will use her powers to traverse universes and gather supplies for him, he will cure her and send her back to her own universe or any universe she wants.

A few days later, Clark is working on his farm, feeling miserable and thinking about Leslie. As he works, he is surprised when two identical twins, both blonde and wearing strange superhero costumes show up on the farm, saying they’re looking for Clark, but not recognizing him as such. After a moment of confusion, one of the women swears and calls out for someone named Mr. Mxyzptlk. She explains that she comes from another universe, the cousin of that world’s version of Clark, and she’d just come from an adventure where an imp had transported her to another universe and she had met her own variant, the other girl. The imp had been supposed to send her home, but apparently had sent them here instead.

Clark agrees to help them figure out a way back if this imp never showed up to explain himself. Lois digs up a bunch of articles about the concept of parallel universes, and is a little weirded out when Kara talks about how they are friends in her world. Kara II mentions she got in a fight with her version once. Finally, Mr. Mxyzptlk shows up, telling them sorry for the mixup, but saying that their fixing of the Ultraman problem resulted in a new multiversal threat that they now had to fix. He pops into existence a control device for them which will let them traverse universes and track the threat, because he hasn’t quite been able to find its exact location. Before they can talk about it, he pushes Clark and the two Karas through a portal.

After a similar tumbling scene, Clark and the Karas find themselves in a strange multiversal void, with flashes from other universes appearing in the sky. Kara decides she’s not playing Mxy’s game and tries to use it to open a portal back to her own universe. After two failed attempts, Mxy appears on the device’s screen, apologizing again and saying that he felt it prudent to put a blocker on their three individual universes until the job was finished. Kara yells at Mxy, but he disappears from the screen.

For the moment, they decide to look for the threat, opening a portal to a universe where the threat was detected. They walk through and find themselves in what seems to be an over-the-top supervillain’s lair with a giant nuclear collider in the center. Kara I and Clark find themselves caught in kryptonite traps, as the villain appears, what looks like a skull in a space suit, the helmet glowing green. He introduces himself as the Atomic Skull, and no matter how many super people show up, they’ll never stop him from unleashing a nuclear blast powerful enough to wipe out the whole world. Kara and Clark verbally spar with him, questioning his plan as such a blast would destroy the planet, leaving him with nothing to rule.

This discussion distracts the villain enough for Power Girl to sneak around, find the controls to the Kryptonite traps, and release her companions. The three heroes battle the villain, taking him out fairly easily. In a last ditch effort, he tries to detonate his bomb, only to find that a key component has been removed. The lightning figure appears again, this time with a full body, which Clark recognizes as Leslie, but with gray skin and blue hair that’s become spiked with electricity. Before he can say anything, she vanishes in a burst of electricity, taking the component with her.

After the Atomic Skull is restrained, our heroes pursue Leslie back to the void world, detecting her there somewhere. Clark tells the Karas about who she is and what happened to her, and they promise him, they’ll help get her back. They chase Livewire through several different worlds, each some reference to some version of Superman, before finally landing in an animated world where everything seems to be based in the 1950s, finding that world’s version of Superman, a big cartoonish “defender of justice.” Neither Kara is particularly impressed, while Clark gets to see himself as a genuine hero.

We get a short sequence of them exploring his world, and highlighting some of the most corny parts, questioning his story about his first nemesis turning into a white gorilla. Eventually, Leslie arrives, attacking his version of Lex Luthor, to steal from him a “dimensional blaster” he had just completed. Both Clarks and both Karas challenge her, but she electrifies most of them, leaving her and Clark to face off alone. Clark pleads with her to come back, but she refuses, telling him he ruined her life and that she’s going to get a new one, planning to take over the life of the happy Leslie she saw. Clark says that she’ll just be destroying that Leslie’s life, but she ignores him, taking the blaster and managing to get away.

Leslie returns to Owlman and the machine. Owlman uses the components to complete the machine, and Livewire smiles excitedly, ready to start a new life. She ends up being betrayed by Owlman though, who shoots her with a device he’d had her steal that would drain her of power. He then begins activating his machine again, proclaiming that he will finish what he and Ultraman started. A weakened Leslie crawls to the machine, placing her hand on it and drawing power out of it, recharging herself way more than before. She turns on Owlman and disintegrates him before he can attack again.

She then uses the machine to rip a hole to the dimension where she was happy, planning to travel through the machine and take over the body of her counterpart. The Clarks and the Karas find her and her machine, rushing to try to stop her. 50s Superman tries to stop the beam with “the power of justice” and simply gets blasted. The two Karas work together to try to stop the machine while Clark and Leslie face off.

Clark tries again and again to get through to Leslie, but she won’t listen. She blasts the Karas away from her machine as the machine starts to become unstable, ripping dimensions apart as it tries to open a permanent doorway. She only relents when she sees the other Leslie and her parents being ripped away from each other as their universe falls apart. She helps Clark destroy the machine, depriving herself of her powers for good.

After the machine is gone and the multiverse goes back to normal, Leslie breaks down in the middle of the void. Clark lands beside her, where he genuinely apologizes for his failure to save her parents that day. Leslie accepts his apology and hugs him, fully letting go of her repressed emotions. Mr. Mxyzptlk finally reappears, snapping his fingers and saying everyone can go back home now. Clark lets Leslie head back through to their world, while he stays behind to say goodbye to the Karas and the other Clark. While they are doing so, the portal becomes unstable and vanishes, their device not working anymore either. They ask Mxy what’s going on, and he says, “Oop, I guess you guys didn’t fix it fast enough to convince him,” then disappears before elaborating.

In a post-credits scene, we see Mxy kneeling before the Anti-Monitor, clearly terrified of him, and trying to point out that they did fix the problem, but the Anti-Monitor ignores him.

If any of you remember the full plan I laid out a while back, this leads straight into Crisis on Infinite Earths, resulting in the destruction of this Clark's universe, erasing Lois, Krypto, Leslie, Jonathan, Martha, and everyone else from this series, leaving Clark as the only survivor and setting him up to become the Cinematic Universe's Superboy-Prime.

What do you think? Would you watch it?
