A "Super" Resurrection and Revival

(Scene begins with a smartwatch screen and a finger as it taps the screen and the 1994 American Gladiators plays as the scene cuts to a hand as it taps an app on his phone as it opens a portal.) 

(It cuts to James and the characters he’s played until it cut to his face and the credit of “James Faraci” is shown as it cuts to “The Last Of The Americans'” current iteration then slides away to different images of Paulo Fonseca, Brenda Fonseca, Rebecca Yaun, Nick Yaun and the characters they’ve played until it cut to their faces. The credits of “ Paulo and Brenda Fonseca, Rebecca and Nick Yaun” are shown, then slide away to different images of Doug Yaun, Kyra Lee, and Crosslyn Castillo and the characters they’ve played, until it cuts to their faces.) 

(After that, the credits “Doug Yaun, Kyra Lee, and Crosslyn Castillo” are shown, as it then slides away to different images of Andrew Beach, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, and Olivia Horvath. Following this, the credits of “Andrew Beach, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, Olivia Horvath” are shown as the 0:00-0:21 mark of the theme song plays.) 

(Everything becomes a swirl of reds, whites, and blues, as the credits “Produced by First Choice Entertainment Productions in association with Manic-Expression.com"; “Executive Producers: James Faraci, Paulo Fonseca, Brenda Fonseca, Rebecca Yaun, Nick Yaun, Eric Kurtzke, Renee Miller, Andrew Beach & Olivia Horvath”; “Editing by Eric Kurtzke and James Faraci”; “Written and Directed by James Faraci” are shown, as the 0:21-0:26 mark of the theme song plays.) 

(We then see an image of James as he jumps through the portal and lands with half of his team on his right. The other half on his left is on a black background. Finally, the title “THE LAST OF THE AMERICANS” is shown Lazer etched into Titanium as the last six seconds of the American Gladiators 1994 theme song plays.) 

(The Scene changes to Paulo Fonseca as Zack Snyder and Doug Yaun as David Zaslav in the lobby of James' office, and they are arguing with Zack saying "Bro" at the start and end of every sentence as James comes walking in casually.)

TLOTA: Okay, OKAY OOKAAAY! (The arguing ends, and it cuts to David and Zack looking at James for a beat as it then cuts back to James.) Now what in the name of Marco Polo is going on around here? (Cut to Zack Snyder and David Zaslav.)

Zack Snyder: I'll tell you what happened, bro. This mook here thought that James Gunn was going to finally finish off the DC Movies and give David here a reason to cancel them, the DC Comics division, and vault everything about DC Comics for a good tax write-off, bro.

David Zaslav: I can explain why it's a good tax write-off. If people aren't going to buy it, then there's no reason to put it out there and for me to lose money because that's the deal of the business, which is to make money. (Cut to James)

TLOTA: Okay, so all the filmmakers who love film and want to have their films released they're what, idiots who think 2+2=4 instead of Happy Marshmallow Wainbow Flying Giblets? Look, if something is a success, then I say enjoy it, and if there's a risk it fails, then that's when you start to look for ways to write off the losses by, say, having you and your cronies take a smaller paycheck, sell the movie on digital distributors for quarters on the dollar, and then if it makes the profit on that market. You can say what happened with the movie. (Cut to David Zaslav)

David Zaslav: Well, it'd be easier because I still make money by writing off the movie. After all, there's no audience for movies anymore. (Cut to James)

TLOTA: Well, I think the box office for the new Superman says otherwise. (Cut to the poster of the 2025 "Superman" movie, then to clips of "Superman" recreated by Team TLOTA as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Seeing as how "Superman Returns" and the DCEU Movies that made Superman into something he should never be were the two strikes before the final pitch in the World Series, and you need a homerun to win it. This movie is it; it's the home run that was necessary. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: Despite the efforts of Tweedle-dumb and Tweedle-dumber to undermine DC's Comics and movies, I'm going to review this movie today, before I forget! (James pulls out a gigantic rubber stamp, and it covers the screen for the rest of the scene.) I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans. The Views I'm about to express are those of my own and some of yours, possibly neither of these two, and this is my review of the 2025 movie "Superman." (Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): The movie opens in the Antarctic, providing a backstory about how Gods and Monsters once existed thirty million years ago. Thirty years ago, a couple from the planet Krypton sent their only son to save them from the destruction of their home. He was raised by loving humans known as the Kents. Twenty-seven years later, that baby became Superman. Three weeks ago, he stopped an invasion, and today, Superman gets the crap beaten out of him and lands with a whopper of an impact. (The sound of a man screaming at the top of his lungs and lands as Superman played by Nick Lopez as he lands on his knees)

Superman/Clark Kent (Disoriented): Under the spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands, the smith a mighty man is he with strong and sinewy...(Superman collapses onto the ice) Hands!

TLOTA (V.O.): Thankfully, Krypto knows a whistle that summons him to Clark and/or someone else from Krypton to raise the Fortress of Solitude. This is where we see droids and get some worthy backstory about Superman.

(Cut to James physically as he deals with David Zaslav and Zack Snyder)

Zack Snyder: Wait a second, we get the backstory without the gloomy destruction of Krypton with all that usual sci-fi stuff, bro?

TLOTA: As much as I enjoyed the story of how Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van-El realized their planet was f'd ten different ways from Saturday and the whole Krypton Elders being idiots, and Jor-El deciding that if they can't save their society, then let us save the only good thing left from our lives! This time around, it's not necessary. "Superman Returns," which started with text, didn't aim to be original. It was a legacy sequel to the Christopher Reeve movies, and that approach didn't work for establishing a new Superman.

(Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): We then find a new character called The Engineer, played by María Gabriela de Faría, as she tracks where the Fortress could be as Superman escapes, mostly healed, and decides that the planet is more important than his recovery. The fight continues as Superman confronts "The Hammer Of Boravia," and the brawl ends with Superman beaten down even worse and it being revealed that he is being controlled by Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, who is also looking to start to, even though he is a billionaire, become the ruler of the world! (Cut to James in the Super Mario Bros. Movie review as the Maw-Ray is about to eat him, Mario, Donkey Kong, and James says, "Of Course!" Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): We cut to a few days later at The Daily Planet as we're introduced to the rest of the Daily Planet Team, Steve Lombard played by Beck Bennett, Cat Grant played by Mikeala Hoover, Jimmy Olsen played by Skyler Gisondo, Perry White played by Wendell Pierce, Ron Troupe as played by Christopher McDonald and Lois Lane as played by Rachel Brosnahan. We soon find out that Clark and Lois have been hooking up for three months. While that's going on, the President of Boravia denounces what Superman did. After all of that, Clark agrees to let Lois interview "Superman."

Lois Lane performed by Jessica Lopez-Barkl: So, were your actions in Boravia sanctioned by any of our Governmental heads?

Superman/ Clark Kent performed by Nick Lopez: No, because they would have basically said, "We need to do something! Do we need to do something?" while letting the innocent people of Jarhanpur die at the hands of death squads. Jarhanpur had no defenses. I know it may seem wrong to have intervened, but I am not bound by Governments that sit on their asses as evil takes over. I am bound to what is right because it is right, because it is decent, and above all, it is kind!

Lois Lane performed by Jessica Lopez-Barkl: I'm not saying that it wasn't right, or kind, or any of that, but Social Media has had a field day about this.

Superman/ Clark Kent performed by Nick Lopez: Social Media has become so corrupted that it's hard for anyone to use it as it was intended: to share our best moments, make friends with people we know and want to know, promote our work, and celebrate who we are, rather than something that promotes hatred, bigotry, and negativity.

Lois Lane performed by Jessica Lopez-Barkl: Look, this interview is getting too intense!

Superman/ Clark Kent performed by Nick Lopez: You're right, screw this interview, I'm going to get out of here!

(Cut to James physically as he deals with David Zaslav and Zack Snyder)

Zack Snyder: That is what I did in "Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice," bro!

David Zaslav: I know I should've cancelled this movie!

TLOTA: You can't because, from what I've heard, DC Studios is a secondary studio of your company, but it's not under your control, so go kiss my ass on that! And as for that whole bit of "Superman's trying to do good!" in your two and a half hour movie, in which you say that someone like "Superman" is a wimp, Batman is the dark hero, and we should be like fucking Homelander if we had Superman is absolutely ludicrous! And if you're not understanding it, it is that you can kiss my ass on that! (Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Lex tries to convince the Generals at the Pentagon, including Rick Flag, to allow him the right to govern the Metahumans, which includes Superman, and if the situation calls for it 86 them, even for funsies, or if Lex thinks they are not kowtowing is then introduces his Planet Force team led by Ultraman, however this American Government must have more than five functioning Brain Cells look at what Lex's idea is and say you are nuts and turn down his plans outright, however Lex isn't done yet, He finds the Fortress and somehow it opens up, takes down Superman's robots, kidnaps Krypto (Which got me upset very quickly) and the message from Lara and Jor-El. Meanwhile, Superman has his hands busy with a Kaiju creature, that is, until we see the arrival of Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern Guy Gardner to lighten the load, even if Guy does look like Stuart Larkin from MAD TV! (Cut to James physically as he deals with David Zaslav and Zack Snyder)

TLOTA: I'm not the only one who saw it; the whole Internet, when they first saw Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, thought the same way. Granted, the haircut is comic-accurate.

(Zack Snyder and David Zaslav sigh as if to say, "Whatever!" Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): After the battle ends, Luthor continues his campaign to bring down Superman by misinterpreting the message sent by Lara and Jor-El! Now officially vilified by Social Media, Superman has a brief final conversation with Lois, and he is going to surrender himself to the authorities. He is imprisoned in an artificial pocket dimension created by Lex, using Metamorpho to hold him captive. Metamorpho is ordered to produce Kryptonite, which will weaken him to the point of being entirely powerless and worthless. (Cut to James looking at David Zaslav and Zack Snyder.)

David Zaslav: What?

Zack Snyder: Bro, What, Bro?

TLOTA: You two know what you did, and no one can forgive you for what you've done! (Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): As that unfolds, Jimmy Olsen, surprisingly in this movie, is a ladies' man, who gets Eve Teschmacher to be his inside girl to stop Luthor. This includes getting Luthor's plan to seize half of Jarhanpur once the invasion from Boravia occurs, all while clearing Superman's name in the process. Back in the pocket dimension, someone who was just a person on the street who tried to help Superman is rewarded by Lex with a bullet in his head! Metamorpho realizes what he has done, and begs Superman they save his son, Joey, and they can escape. Superman does so just as Mr. Terrific and Lois make it to the Earth location where Superman was seen last, while Superman also grabs Krypto, and a battle with Ultraman and some of the foot soldiers ensues. Mr. Terrific's T-Spheres become a beacon for our heroes to get out of the dimension, and everyone makes it just as the portal collapses. Luthor handles the bad news well (Cut to Lex Luthor as played by Andrew Beach as he screams, cries, and hits Miss Teschmacher!)

Miss Teschmacher (Played by Ally Watts): YOU LITTLE MANCHILD OF A WHINY BRAT! I WILL ONLY TAKE SO MUCH, AND WHEN YOU SMACK ME THE WAY YOU DID! I HOPE THAT THEY THROW THE BOOK AT YOU! YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT! (Miss Teschmacher picks up her phone.) Hello Jimmy Olsen, I'm sending you everything to put Lex Luthor straight to hell!

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): SHUT THAT BITCH UP AND IMPRISON HER IN THE DIMENSIONAL GUANTANAMO BAY! (Cut to James physically as he deals with David Zaslav and Zack Snyder)

TLOTA: And this I like, I don't want to be on Luthor's side of the coin! Nicholas Hoult does what Jessie Eisenberg couldn't do in all his performances. He made Lex Luthor into what he would be if he were to exist in this world! (Cut to the different interpretations of Lex Luthor from the past movies and TV shows as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): In most cases, he was not as subtle, claiming himself to be "The Greatest Criminal Mind of our time" in the movies until "Dawn of Justice," when he was shown as a megalomaniacal billionaire businessman in shows like in the Ruby-Spears Superman animated series, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman, the Bruce Timm "Superman Animated Series" and the "Justice League" Animated Series, "Smallville" and recently in "Superman and Lois" and in several animated movies by DC. Of course, that didn't mean that some were without merit. Lex had always been petty because he felt that if there was someone with such power, it should be him. If he did, he'd make Homelander look like a Boy Scout. Of course, the one I cannot talk about is the one from "Superman Returns" for obvious reasons. (Cut to James physically as he deals with David Zaslav and Zack Snyder)

TLOTA: Look up the actor's name and the crimes for which he has been charged. (Zack and David look up who played Lex Luthor in "Superman Returns" and proceed to toss their cookies. Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): While recovering from his beating in Smallville, Clark and his parents, who THANKFULLY ARE NOT DEAD, console their son after the beating he took from Luthor and Social Media.

Jonathan Kent (played by Joe Colon): Son, you know the truth. I know that people's opinions are easily swayed by the words of others, but you can demonstrate that your actions speak volumes above the noise.

Clark Kent/ Superman (Played by Nick Lopez): Thanks, Dad, I hope that you and Mom understand you raised me well, screwed up message or not.

Jonathan Kent (played by Joe Colon): Messages are going to be misheard, and something tells me you are going to truly discover what the message means in reality. Interpretation can be misheard. For now, show the world what you can do. ( Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Back with the Portal, Lex opens it up, causing a dimensional rift, and as that is happening, Boravia begins a second attack on Jarhanpur. As that's going on, Lois discovers the information Jimmy got from Miss Teschmacher's photos and convinces Perry that everything that has happened to Superman and to Jarhanpur was because of Lex Luthor!

Perry White (Played by DukeCT): This is credible, let's run it! What the hell?! (Everyone looks outside.) Lois, that ride you got from Mr. Terrific, it's on the roof, right?

Lois Lane (played by Jessica Lopez-Barkl): Yeah.

Perry White (Played by DukeCT): Good! Everyone in the room, RUN FOR THE ROOF!

Lois Lane (Played by Jessica Lopez-Barkl): JIMMY, WRITE WHAT I SAY WHILE WE RUN!

Jimmy Olsen (Played by Nick Yaun): Don't have to tell me twice! (Turns to the Audience) The way she writes on her own, Grammarly would self-destruct if it had to rewrite everything she writes! (Deadpool [played by Paulo Fonseca] walks in, pushing Jimmy Olsen out of the way)

Deadpool (Played by Paulo Fonseca): NO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL! (Deadpool turns to the audience) And yes, I know I'm not supposed to be here, what with me making it rain in the MCU, but James keeps me on a payroll, especially with all the Chimichangas I can eat! (A piece of the building lands on Deadpool, transitioning to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Superman has been instructed by Mr. Terrific to head to Metropolis, as that's the center of the disturbance. (Cut to James looking at David Zaslav and Zack Snyder.)

TLOTA: But what of Jarhanpur? Who will help the innocent people there? Well, thankfully, we have our good friends from the Hall of Justice. (Cut to the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

Green Lantern[Guy Gardner](played by James Faraci): Hey Kid, this isn't the place for you to be right now! JUSTICE GANG!

Hawkgirl (Played by Crosslyn Castillo): Not our name, Guy!

Green Lantern [Guy Gardner] (Played by James Faraci): Let's kill the death squads!

Metamorpho (played by Eric Kurtzke): Can I join your Justice Gang?

Green Lantern [Guy Gardner] (Played by James Faraci): You like the name Justice Gang? Okay, you are in! (Show "The Justice Gang" as they stop the Death Squads of Boravia, as Green Lantern's latest construct from Green Energy is used for a transition to the recreated movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): As that happens, Superman and Mr. Terrific are fighting off Ultraman and The Engineer, and it's discovered that Lex Luthor managed to get into the Fortress. Ultraman is actually Superman's mentally vacant clone!

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): HA! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?! HUH? I ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR POWER AND I AM BETTER THAN YOU! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, ALWAYS WILL I HAVE BESTED THE ALMIGHTY AND ALL POWERFUL SUPERMAN!

Deadpool (played by Paulo Fonseca [Audio only]) : YOU KEEP YOUR ARROGANCE UP AND I WILL SHOOT YOUR CAT! ("Like A Prayer (Chorus Version)" plays as James, Steve Kidd, and Deadpool come in to kick Lex Luthor's ass and help shut off the drones to Ultraman, giving Superman a chance to stop it!)

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): How dare you strike me! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

TLOTA: A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT WHO DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE ANYTHING EXCEPT A PRISON BITCH! (Otis tries to come up behind James as Deadpool scissor slices him with his Katanas, intercut to Superman hitting his clone with an "I AM A MAN!" Punch that sends it into the black hole, then gets back into the fight against the squad of Luthor's soldiers and intercut back to Steve Kidd using a bow and several arrows to collect all of Luthor's goons and Deadpool leaving all but one of the computers undamaged and the fight between Lex and James continuing.)

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach [Audio only]): When I am done, History...

TLOTA (Audio Only): History will all say the same thing: Superman gave his life to save innocent people, Lex Luthor was just a monster who didn't care as long as his fellow humans bowed before him like a false deity! (Cut to James slamming Lex over and over again until the glass cracks behind Lex.)

TLOTA: AND THE PROBLEM WITH FALSE DEITIES, THEY LET YOU DOWN, AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN! (The glass shatters, and James tosses Lex away from the fate he deserves, then looks at the audience.) Sorry, everyone, I had to get involved by this point! (Cut to Zack Snyder and David Zaslav)

Zack Snyder: But Bro, how could you be there when you are... (The two look at the empty spot James occupied and look at each other over and over again as it cuts to James)

TLOTA: It's something you'll never understand. (James turns his attention to Lex Luthor) And you, Luthor, YOU SHOULD BE KNEELING BEFORE ME FOR SAVING YOU FOR KRYPTO'S NEW CHEW TOY, IF MR. TERRIFIC DOESN'T CRACK THE CODE TO SEAL UP THE RIFT YOU CREATED! Because the last time I went through a rift, I thought I had started to get it all when it was just the beginning of the end of my future!

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): Spare me the pity party.

TLOTA: You? Spare you the Pity Party! (Laughs) Spare...you..the PITY PARTY?! (Laughs!) ASSHOLE, ALL YOU ARE IS A GIGANTIC PITY PARTY THAT HIDES BEHIND THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWERS OF SOMEONE WHO USES HIS TO HELP HIS FELLOW PERSON, INSTEAD OF USING THEM THE WAY YOU WOULD! TO TERRORIZE, IMPRISON HIS CRITICS AND HURT HIS FELLOW PERSON, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DON'T THINK YOU ARE A HUMAN! I think giving you to Homelander may just be the merciful end your ass deserves!

Superman (Audio only): James, it's not what should happen! (Cut to Superman as he does his heroic pose as Mr. Terrific and Krypto stand on each side of Superman. Cut to James as he stares and nods to agree with Superman and his beliefs. James lets Lex Luthor go. Cut to Steve Kidd as he hands the computer terminal over to Mr. Terrific.)

Steve Kidd: It's all yours! (Mr. Terrific begins the process of shutting down the rift as it cuts to James, Superman, and Lex)

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): It doesn't matter; Superman's reputation is destroyed. That is a victory I can carry with me! That I bested an alien!

Superman (Played by Nick Lopez): That's where you're wrong. I may have been born on a foreign planet, but I am as human as anyone here!

TLOTA: Except for...

Superman (Played by Nick Lopez): Including Lex Luthor, I love, I get scared, I wake up every morning, and I don't always know what to do next, but when I take my steps, I take the chance to do the best that I can, even when I screw it up, and I do that all the time. And me, being a human who makes mistakes, who fears and loves, THAT is my strength!

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): You're a human, I AM BEYOND YOU, SUPERMAN! AND I WILL NOT BE...! (Krypto woofs and plays with Lex like a chew toy as Lex screams, "Oh God! Oh Jesus! Help me! Daddy! Mommy!" for several seconds! Cut to James and Superman)

Superman (Played by Nick Lopez): Krypto! Heel! (Krypto stops and lands on James and licks him as James pets him!)

TLOTA: Down boy! Down! (James tosses a doggy treat out to get Krypto off him. Cut to Superman as James gets up, and Steve Kidd and Deadpool walk and then stand next to Superman.) Speaking of what you did to Superman's reputation, it's incredible what happens when the truth comes out! (Cut to Lex Luthor as he gets back up.)

Lex Luthor (Played by Andrew Beach): The truth is... (Audio of a news reporter shares the news of how Lex Luthor abused his abilities and how he faked the message of Jor-El and Lara Lor-Von-El and how he fooled everyone as Lex turns to see his empire collapse. Cut to Superman, James Steve Kidd, Krypto, Mr. Terrific, and Deadpool.)

TLOTA: Ain't that a Karmic kick in the nuts! (Cut to later as James is at the Fortress of Solitude with Superman.) Okay, that ought to do it. Your androids are now fully functional! (A boom is heard as Supergirl, played by Traci Odin, crashes in with a bottle of liquor in her hands.)

Supergirl (Played by Traci Oden): HEY KAL! Who's the knockoff?

TLOTA: James Faraci, The Last Of The Americans, and your cousin just went through hell to get here. He got the win in the movie, helped rebuild a city, helped Lex Luthor become someone's prison bitch, and shut down an interdimensional Guantanamo Bay while taking care of Krypto! And whew, if I were to light a match, we all go boom!

Supergirl (Played by Traci Oden): I'm not that drunk! I still have ten more of these to get through! Here Krypto! Thanks for taking care of my good boy! See you later, Cuz, and later to you! (Supergirl walks away, and James sighs.)

TLOTA: So you're good, you got your memories, and you're going to take it easy as you heal?

Superman (Played by Nick Lopez [Audio only]) : Yeah, you can head on out!

TLOTA: Okay! Later Superman! (James walks away, and it cuts to James taking his seat between Zack Snyder and David Zaslav)

TLOTA: And that was "Superman," not only a good movie, nor is it a great movie, but it is, without a shadow of a doubt, THE movie of the year! ( Zack and David scream and shout at James. Cut to stills of the Christopher Reeve "Superman," "Superman Returns, and "The DCEU," as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): As much as I will always hold a spot in my memories and heart for Christopher Reeve and what he meant to the legacy of the character and the ideal of what Superman represents. This is what we needed in terms of a Superman movie after the dullness of "Superman Returns," which tried to ride on the Nostalgia and Legacy of Christopher Reeve. It didn't work, and the same goes for what these bickering idiots did to ruin both DC and Superman. They attempted to create a dark, grim, and gritty reality, aiming to be the antithesis of Marvel's approach and lure everyone away from it. Still, it didn't work for the obvious reasons. (Cut to clips of the recreated "Superman" 2025 movie as James does a voiceover.)

TLOTA (V.O.): This showcased the Verisimilitude of the Richard Donner classic, blending humor, fantasy, Sci-Fi, romance, drama, and all that someone would want in a Superman movie, and bringing it to the big screen. The Special and Hard Effects are handled with the same gracefulness as the 1978 Christopher Reeve Classic; the writing and directing are incredible, and the actors didn't just nail the characters, they became those characters. The music was just the right notes, blending the notes of the past to perfect gestalt for a bright future. Is it perfect? No. But not only is this one of those movies that is a great way to kickstart things the right way in bringing together a Cinematic Universe to rival Marvel at last! If you haven't seen it, see it, then come back for another go around with the people you love, then when it's available on the Home Market, GET IT ANY WAY YOU CAN! Blu-Ray, 4K, Digital, when and where you can find it, get it, and you will once again see hope and believe that you can fly and be like Superman. (Cut to James, Zack, and David.)

TLOTA: And for those who think I missed some message or some deep thought, I didn't. I wanted to enjoy this movie, and I did. Because I wanted to give the film a chance, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.

Zack Snyder But, Bro, how could you give it a chance? It will eventually break your heart again, Bro!

David Zaslav: Forget it, if the movie is a success, then I can fit this DCU into the ten-year plan.

TLOTA: You have a ten-year plan? Would that include cutting everything that you don't like for a tax write-off and doing what you want to do with Warner Bros. and Discovery?

David Zaslav: How did you know?

TLOTA: You heard one exec's bullshit, you heard it all already. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and that's my opinion! (James walks out, and Steve Kidd steps in with a double-barreled shotgun! James shouting "Steve! Receed!")

Steve Kidd: Consider yourself lucky! (Steve walks away! Scene cuts to James as he slams "Lex Luthor" into the glass, and James lets go, and "Lex Luthor" collapses, and James shouts, "Oh Shit! Cut! Get the medics here now!" Scene cuts to James outside the office building, James having just arrived as the instrumental of "Combine Harvester" by The Wurzels plays in the BTS/Blooper Reel.)

James Faraci: I've just finished watching the 2025 Superman movie, and I'm bringing all hands on deck for this one before we start recording the fall/winter half in September of this year. I'm also bringing in extra help from my first run in College to assist me. It's taking everything I have to finish this. I am going to write on the whiteboard to see who is playing whom in the review. (Cut to the door opening to see the Lopez-Barkl family as they see what James' office is like, and James welcomes them and lets them know where they can allow their child to be relaxed, as Nick Lopez sees he's playing "Clark Kent/Superman" and Jessica is playing "Lois Lane" and asks who's directing with James saying he is, while being "The Last Of The Americans," & "Guy Gardner/Green Lantern." and others he almost knows like Andrew Beach and Doug Yaun and James tells who is who and why he casted them. The Scene changes to Nick Lopez dressed as Superman, and James tells how the scene will go down, and James shouts, "AND ACTION!" as Nick says the line, and James laughs. Cut to James as he talks to Ally Watts and Joe Colon, telling them what's going on. Cut to DukeCT as he is dressed as Perry White and looks to see something that he never thought he'd see with Steve filming.)

Steve Kidd: Dude ! What the fuck is going on? (Steve runs with the camera in his hands to see people in shock as James is dressed and looks like Borat!) James, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Have you gone crazy or some shit?!

James Faraci (Sounding like Borat): I play Borat, the President of Boravia! Very Nice! (Steve shouts, "NO! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! NOOOOOOOOOO!" as Jessica Lopez-Barkl agrees with Steve, as does everyone else.) Fine, I no play Borat! (James rips off the fake Mustache and calls Steve "Party Pooper!" The Scene cuts to Nick Yaun as he gets dressed up as Borat, and everyone likes it when he plays the President of Boravia. Even James gets on board with it. Cut to later as Nick Lopez looks over James' script, loves the commentary he's making, and considers James' writing very well thought out. Cut to Andrew Beach in the gyroscopic slammer, and screams in pain and for his mommy, and James cuts when he has enough footage, only for James to try and stop the thing and gets conked in the head for his troubles.)

James Faraci: This is the reward for all the work in four days! Cut it!
