Lois Lane gets rescued by a mystery man and endeavours to find him and tell his story. We are taken through a story of discovery and a man's determination to make up for the loss of his father. This fanedit rearranges the original scene order and removes many flashbacks, while adding much colour grading to accentuate the mood of each scene. It also refocuses the movie on Lois and Clark, removing much of the subplots of the military and the People of Metropolis.

(All three movies generally focus on the inherent nature of mankind.)

This Man of Steel edit tries to keep the spirit of the original movie, but also find the classic hero inside - to make Clark more like “the noble Superman I grew up with” (yes I am aware how extremely subjective that is).

Its about a confident hero, with boy scout morals almost to a fault. He is confident in his actions but remains hidden from the world due to his personal choice. With the arrival of Zod, Clark Kent must finally reveal himself. This is not an origin story, although his origin is retold. This is about the confident kryptonian boy scout we all recognize, and we watch as Zod forces Clark beyond his limits to save his adopted world.

Main Changes:
• Krypton prologue now begins at Kal’s launch
• Credit sequence from the great Man of Steel: A Symbol of Hope from TM2YC
• Pa Kent doesn’t die for his idea, nor does he tell young Clark that he might have to let people die.
• Bus incident moved to replace tornado incident, focus on “people afraid of what they don’t understand,” which is then re-emphasized by Perry and then again by Martha
• Suit reveal moved to after discussion with priest to emphasis Clark’s overall decision to officially reveal himself to the world.
• Innocent bystanders that might get hurt are removed as much as possible in Smallville battle as well as in Metropolis battle.
• Clark contemplates the aftermath of his battle with Zod on a mountaintop with the memory of Pa Kent.

**2022 Update**
Clark's first flight has been added back in.

Superman - Last Son presents 2013's Man of Steel in a more linear, less bombastic manner that focuses more on character development and plot progression.

By adding the most important segments from "Batman v Superman", like the Capitol subplot, which here is a crucial part of the story, this Fan Edit not only achieves to answer the question of "How would earth react to Superman?", but to strengthen Clark's inner struggle about being the planet's hero before facing the ultimate challenge that would make him earth's "Ideal of Hope", reaching the positive and inspiring feeling that "Man of Steel" has always tried to accomplish.

'Man of Steel: A Symbol of Hope' does not try to radically reshape MOS because I liked most of it already. I just wanted to tweak the character of Superman to make him feel more heroic. So if you hated everything about the original MOS, then this isn't the FanFix for you. There are several 10-minute chunks of this edit that are unchanged (aside from the regrade) but when I did change something, I hope it feels significant.

'Man of Tomorrow' is a narrative experiment that combines Man of Steel and Batman V. Superman into one film. The goal was to use material from both films to form a single, feature-length, 3-act structure that focuses on Superman.

This Version of 'Man of Steel' has been edited down a bit for a slightly faster pace, while it also has been completely re-Colored and Re-scored using the Classic john Williams soundtrack.

'The Speeding Bullet Cut' streamlines 'Man of Steel', removing a lot of the flashbacks, and excludes 99% of the initial scenes on Krypton, while also minimising some of the destruction shown in the original.

This cut does its best to drag the story back to Kal-El, a discovery, a threat, a solution. The rest is superfluous and has been jettisoned, or trimmed, as necessary. These cuts include less of the father figures, no genetic Kryptonians or 'first natural births', less Christ allegory, and a trim to some of the more excessive action beats.

'The Ultimate Kryptonian Cut' tries to tell the origin story of Superman through his eyes, so this way, we will feel more "character development" in the story. We will know as much as him. Also, some action sequences were reduced a little bit to not make the movie seem like it's too chaotic, some motivations and plot points were changed to be as equal to my vision as possible and this way it will feel like a more heroic movie instead of tragic.

This is a Project I began 2 years ago, but I had a lot of troubles to upload it to this web site and in the end I decided to not publish it...until now. 'The Ultimate Kryptonian Cut' also fixes some little issues I had with the original Kryptonian Cut, which had some weird cuts and the movie looked washed out. Now that I have seen the details of my first creation, I show you my fixed first creation finished.

Man Of Steel: Recut retells the story from Clark's perspective but maintains the gripping action. Why does he have powers? What support does he get from his parents? And what should he do when Earth is threatened?
