2 INT./EXT. LOIS' APARTMENT WINDOW - VIRTUAL REALITY - NIGHT 2(X)
Lois is standing alone... in a low-cut evening gown,
superbly sexy. She's watching something on the ground below
with bemused interest. CRASH!
3 EXT. METROPOLIS STREET - VIRTUAL REALITY - NIGHT 3
It looks like a battlefield... the orange glow of FIRES,
destroyed CARS. In the middle of it all -- a fatigued
SUPERMAN is fighting a super-battle with a HUGE MAN, who's
dressed in street fighting gear: work boots, long baggy
shorts, a shirt with ripped sleeves. This huge fellow is
called... KOMBAT. Muscles bulging, Kombat is a specimen --
a comic book artist couldn't draw a more powerful and
statuesque figure.
4 A CROWD OF ONLOOKERS 4
roped off like spectators, is gathered on the street corner,
next to a RED CAPUCCINO CART, watching the two gladiators (X)
with amazement. Some eat popcorn, others sip sodas, coffee.
5 SUPERMAN 5
bravely sets his jaw, and FLIES right at Kombat -- a BLUE
BLUR, which RICOCHETS off Kombat's chest like a pinball,
then CRASHES through the window of a building across the
street.
Kombat pulls Superman from the window and THROWS him across
the street -- destroying a car.
6 A MAN 6
watching with the other onlookers, stares with awe, munching
caramel corn.

It's very similar to Superman's "S".
Superman steps weakly from the wreckage, almost collapses.
He leans on the car for support.

JIMMY
Well, from some of the key codes
and icons I've come across, I think
this is Luthor's system.
LOIS
(creeped out)
You're telling me we're inside
something Luthor made?
JIMMY
Yeah.
LOIS
Eeee-yew.
JIMMY
And it fits, 'cause there were
always rumors that his cybernetics
division was working on a VR that
could mess with your head, even
brainwash you.
LOIS
No wonder X wanted the Mayor and
the President in here so bad.
SUPERMAN
Pull the most powerful people in
the world into a VR amusement park
and when they walk out, they're
yours.
JIMMY
But this system is so huge and has
so many safeguards there's gotta be
whole banks of research and
information X doesn't know about...
and maybe...
LOIS
... he thought me knowing certain
personal things about Luthor could
open that up. Little creep. If
I'd ever gotten to be his
stepmother he'd've gone to his room
for life.
SUPERMAN
If he gets the information he's
after and we don't get out to warn
people, then nothing could stop
him. So, Jimmy. How do we stop
him?

Superman learns pretty fast. He
jumped us out of VR into a section
of the computer's unused memory.
(looks around)
I don't know how long we can hide
here, though.
SUPERMAN
Lois, what does he want? (X)
LOIS
He's Lex Luthor's son. (X)
SUPERMAN
Luthor had a son? (X)
LOIS
Illegitimate.
JIMMY
Whoa. Lex. My man.
(off Lois' look)
Sorry.
LOIS
I'm not sure what he wants. Except
that he's obsessed with what Lex
wanted to name our children.
JIMMY
He's looking for access codes.
LOIS
Access to what?
JIMMY
Well, I think this is Luthor's (X)
system --
LOIS
(creeped out)
You're telling me we're inside

Yeah.

Jaxon studies his computer screen, then:
JAXON
Wait. The last name. What if it

He types C-L-A-R-K on the computer screen. The word
