An alternate ending to the 2013 movie Man of Steel using characters from The Dark Knight, Batman vs Superman and the movie Fight Club

I thought Man of Steel was great
But watching Superman kill Zod and make his race extinct, seemed as excessive as the destruction of Metropolis
The original alternate ending (the 1st draft of part 1) was the typical farm-boy meets Kryptonian girl and saves the day by proving to Zod that humans have redeeming qualities.
It was only when I thought about what would happen to the narrator, Tyler Durden, after Zod made peace with Earth & Kal El, that I could see the potential for a real story.

I should give advance notice to the readers who may be expecting a series of dramatic SuperHero versus SuperVillain fights, this is an anti-super, anti-hero story as it is told from the perspective of a regular-guy weaving his way through a Meta-Human conflict while keeping his eyes on the prize: (Faora Ul).
Logically, the story focuses mainly on 'human' characteristics of the Superhero/Villain characters as well as developing DC-Comic's 'C-Listers' (Martha Kent/Lois Lane/Nathan Hardy/Perry White) into characters who are central to the storyline.

Rated Mature for:
Profanity 
Adult situations (no sex)
Violence 
Smoking


Ps: I use Italics to identify the narrator's inner monologue as well as distinguish dream sequences and other breaks from the narrative's reality, in addition to using italics for emphasis.

Originally published here: November 2021, then periodically edited to clean up the typos, as well as sharpen the narrative... Which usually creates more typos... :(

Thanks for reading
Hope you like it!

Childhood Pals by DanversFrost35

"A boy from Daxam and a girl from Krypton." Daxamites and Kryptonians have been at war for years. The only thing they share is a red sun. One day, Alura (In-Ze) Zor-El and her husband, leaders of Krypton, offer a deal to the Daxamites. They would meet up first on Krypton, where they would stay for a few days, before the Kryptonians would do the same on Daxam. The Queen Rhea and King Lar Gand of Krypton agreed to it, signing off the deal and ending with a handshake. This is where our story begins. A 13-year-old Kara Zor-El was called to the serious meeting to entertain the playful Prince of Daxam. When she brought him to her room, he made fun of her and ordered her around. Kara was annoyed at him, and stormed off to her "secret garden". Mon-El sneaked after her, where he was pleasantly surprised. He fell for her, but never told her. When the two planets had made peace, she never saw Mon-El again. When Krypton was on the brink of destruction, Kara was sent to Earth with Kal-El, her cousin, but like the original story, she was knocked into the Phantom Zone. When Krypton was destroyed, Daxam went along with it, the red sun collapsing into both planets. Mon-El escaped, in a Daxamite Pod, to the nearest safe planet, Earth. He, too, was knocked into the Phantom Zone, landing in the prison of Fort Rozz. When Kara's pod got loose, his did too, but they landed at two completely different places altogether. When they meet, will their friendship turn into something more or will the spark that Mon-El had burn out? Will a certain girl from Saturn ruin everything? Will Kara believe that he was the boy she met so many years ago or will she think he is one of the prisoners her mother had put in Fort Rozz? AU in which they had known each other. Everything else is the same. Disclaimer: I only own the plot. Everything else belongs to the CW and DC Comics. Cover credit: LordMesa Art *New chapters are posted weekly!*

Loving the Man of Steel | Clark Kent by Rose_Conspiracy

MoS | BvS 1st place in the 2017 DC Watty Award! From a very young age, trouble has always seemed to follow Rose Montgomery. When she finally moves to Metropolis to get away from the crime in Gotham, she finds out that the bustling little city is not exactly the safe haven she was hoping for. With a hero complex of her own, she begins to notice the mysterious Clark Kent is always there to save her. But as the Man of Steel begins to fall head over heels in love, he worries that revealing his true identity will only put her more at risk... *** "Not everyone can be trusted, Clark--" I admitted, "--but there are still some good people out there. I think your Dad was a little paranoid, honestly. And sometimes, you're the one that needs to be willing to take that leap of faith first." The words had barely left my mouth, but in a flash, he had closed the distance between us. He bent forward, his lips brushing against mine, and for a moment I allowed myself to imagine what he would taste like.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (alternate) by Adkaluk

Note: this is an alternate take (prior to seeing the movie) prefaced by an alternate take on aspects of Man of Steel (so basically a sequel to the version of MoS I wrote but incorporating aspects of what might and will be in the new movie (some dialogue, for example)). As such, certain references made in this fic refer to that alternate take and certain points which will be used in the movie are not used in this approach - for example, the new movie cites and uses Zod's body however, in my 'alternate take' of MoS, Zod was never killed and is back in the Phantom Zone.

They were the first line of defense against the forces of darkness and chaos that threatened to engulf their world. The creation of Earth-2023 was not an easy one. It was a world that was forged in the crucible of conflict, as the remaining heroes of countless worlds fought to create a new reality.

They had the help of a mysterious figure, known only as the Monitor. He had been the one who had saved the multiverse from the Dark Crisis, and he had guided the heroes of Earth-2023 in the creation of their new world. As the heroes fought to shape the new Earth, they discovered that the world was not without its own dangers. They encountered strange creatures and powerful villains, each of whom sought to claim the world for their own. But the Justice League of Midgard stood strong, and they were able to protect their new world from these threats. And so, Earth-2023 was born, a world of heroes and villains, of light and darkness, of hope and despair.
