Core Plot Lines

• Reclaiming Identity: Having been in hiding under a pseudonym in Colorado, Superman is emotionally exhausted and initially refuses to ever return to his life as Clark Kent. He destroys a series of Conduit safe houses and reunites with his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, in Georgia.
• The Coffee House Lesson: To show him why his human identity matters, Lois Lane forces him to accompany her to a local Georgia coffee shop while wearing his full Superman costume. Navigating a normal, casual setting while dressed as a god-like entity teaches Bruce—and reminds Clark—that it is the grounded, mortal persona of "Clark Kent" that keeps him connected to the people he protects. 
• The Luthor Custody Battle: Meanwhile, a B-plot unfolds back in Metropolis at S.T.A.R. Labs. Authorized by Dr. Kitty Faulkner, two lawyers representing a comatose Lex Luthor arrive to legally take custody of him, setting up future corporate and villainous developments for the Man of Steel's arch-nemesis.
