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!

Instinct by 43616b6573

(This novel is under revision as of 2-5-19 up until I feel the true motivation to scrub through most of my older work. Also this summary is something to be fixed but until then) A thousand years ago the extermination of Earth from unknown circumstances brought about the end of humanity for the planet. The end of animals, most of nature, technology and everything that advanced in between. After Earth's destruction a new life began with the survivors of the near extinction of humanity. They constructed a singular civilization encased in a wall for protection from outside forces, built on the hope to reproduce and thrive with the life they were forced into. Zykard would be the start of a second life for humans But within that time of rebirth some of the survivors surged with horrors of Pre-Reearth. Heresy, treachery, riots, thefts, murders and revolutions. A need to for order was introduced, and brought about the leader of Zykard and seven factions of ten people. A thousand years later theres a change. An outsider appears and seemingly becomes the new leader of Zykard, bringing more hardships with their hopes. Crimson, a seventeen year old girl faces the verge of adulthood. The final trials being the only gap between her new reality. A new injection to be given to everyone after the trials. She will face the ugly second face of what Zykard really is behind the curtains. Face pain she never thought would be possible and lose what she loves the most. She will understand what it's like to become apart of the Zykard.

Marinette Kent by emilyphee

Have you ever wondered what it's like being the only Kryptonian on earth without powers? It sucks. I'm Marinette Martha Kent. Yup that's right I'm the daughter of the man of steel....and I mostly take after my mom, so I'm utterly completely human. The worst part of being my father's daughter is I can't be a hero. His excuse is I don't have powers while there are heroes such as Green Arrow and Batman. An alien with no powers equals a worthless alien, and the entire justice league knows it to after all my father said so. At least I have my brothers who believe in me... I'm lying no one in my family thinks I can be a hero I'm just a dumb human to them. What's worse is even the bat family won't help me because they secretly agree, or at least that's what I think. So I did what any normal human would do when in an environment that doesn't believe in them I left. I applied for a 2-year foreign exchange program in France starting my high school year. Pairs, France here I come Characters belong to their rightful owners. (Daminette)

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.

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!*
