DCEU: 10 Superhero Films DC HAVE To Make

4. New Super-Man

The idea of another Superman rocking up into his own feature-length film is a truly brilliant one – especially given the character’s relative obscurity compared to most other heroes.

Having Kong Kenan – a young Chinese man given the powers of a dead Kryptonian after genetic experimentation – enter the DCEU canon would be awesome not just because he is a human plot twist, but also in that it’d make for a pretty unique and interesting angle in seeing how Clark Kent deals with it.

That said, the cool part about Kenan’s arc is that it minimally involves the actual Justice League, and so if a directing team wanted, they could also make it minimally involve any ‘big’ characters.

While it’ll likely be avoided so as not to confuse people, the story of New Superman would be pretty much perfect for a film adaption, although we may have to settle for a cameo.
