His attempts to be a normal man having a normal day simply don’t pan out as his instinct is to use his powers to help anyone in trouble too. As he tries to work out what he really is and come to grips with his abilities, he grabs the attention of driven up-and-coming reporter Lois Lane who is dying to figure out who Superman is, unknowingly draggingthe Man of Steelinto her investigation alongside fellow new recruit Jimmy. Their efforts land them in dangerous situations time and again, but they get closer and closer to the truth as Superman continuously arrives to save the day.
