yeah title i rewrote Batman and Robin so i'm here to save the Superman series...20 years too late but oh well i will anyway. This was released in 1983 so i'm going by what was happening at the time as the actors and effects of course.
Cast Christopher Reeve as Superman/Clark Kent Margot Kidder as Lois Lane Jackie Cooper as Perry White Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen Jim Carrey as The Prankster Harrison Ford as Metallo/John Corben James Cagney as Professor Vale
For 83 Metallo may seemed far fetched but Terminator came out in 84 so it is certainly possible.
Plot: Time has passed since Superman defeated General Zod, Non, and Ursa (Superman II) and Lex Luthor has been locked away once again. During this time Clark Kent is living his normal life out working at the Daily Planet, trying to win over Lois Lane who had lost her memory, forgetting he was the Man of Steel. Kent has had little reason to suit up again but as a new thief in town named The Prankster has robbed Metropolis bank by using his pranks on the guard, including a gas knocking them out cold, Clark realizes the job is not over.
As Superman has tracked down the Prankster and finds him at his hideout, building new pranks and tricks. Superman uses his laser vision to melt his smoke bombs and freeze most of his tricks. A distraught Prankster pleads and rats out a man he was working for named John Corben. Corben had been a normal every day journalist working at the Daily Planet along side Clark.
Corben however was a secret murderer and thief who had his identity kept secret. Superman takes Prankster into custody and begins to slowly investigate Corben under his normal identity of Kent. After Clark notices John trying to romance Lois Lane he gets upset but refuses to cave in from his nerdy identity.
Lois rejects Corben and John then gets upset at her and begins yelling. Clark and Jimmy tell him to calm down but he refuses and storms out. Following him Kent suits up and finds Corben attempting to bomb the fourth bank in Metropolis that Prankster couldn't rob. Before the vault opened he was frightened back by Superman and the bomb goes off of on him. Clark rushes his body to the hospital but doctors are unsure what to do.
However professor Vale who was getting a check up notices him and recognizes Corben as Vale was his professor in college. He steals Corben's body while doctors were discussing in the other room and drives off with it to his lab.
At the lab he brings out his test robot suit nicknamed the Metallo. However the only working part is for the torso.Quickly he fixes his damaged torso by turning it into the cyborg body, telling him Uranium will provide energy for the suit's power source he informs his Krypotonite will keep the suit powered for as long as needed. Before he left the Daily Planet he wrote a report on found Krypotonite that was from a crashed meteorite, part of which was found by Lex Luthor (Superman I) the rest was still existent and was held in a museum in South America. Metallo then breaks in and using his new found strength wipes out the guards and steals the Kryptonite. Clark then hears the headline from Lois about the robbery. Soon exacting his revenge Metallo plants a bomb below the Daily Planet.
Clark had found out about Corben's body being taken from the hospital but a security camera caught Vale taking him. Looking up the Professor he finds out he runs a lab in the city. He flies over to find the aging doctor on his death bed. He demands answers but tells him it will be too late by the time he finds Metallo.
Vale passes away and Superman flies back to the middle of the city and when he gets surrounded by press a man walks forward in a suit, the reporter asks "Why did you leave John Corben to die?" When he asks that Superman is confused and tries to explain he was going to save him. the reporter then rips his shirt open unveiling the Kryptonite and grabs Superman. Clark is weakened and falls down to near death Metallo then promises he will destroy Metropolis for letting him turn into a monster. He then is shot at by police but his cyborg suit protects him and he then pulls out a detonator. He reveals that he has bombed six major buildings including the Mayor's office.
A weak Superman tries to fight Metallo but can't due to the suit's power source. Out of last resort he uses his wind breath but can only push him a few feet away. Corben then walks over and beats The Man of Steel to near death before Lois yells at him. Corben remembers her rejection and out of anger walks towards her with the trigger. Superman then tries to pull himself up and remembers back to his father Jor-El telling him about his destiny.
Cue John Williams music Superman regains his strength and uses his laser vision to melt the cyborg's back before he turns and tries to attack him. Metallo tackles Superman but is pushing off. Metallo pulls off a man hole cover and smacks him with it but can't stop the man in tights. The two exchange punches but Superman sends him into a wall and freezes his Krypotonite with his freeze breath. Metallo slowly walks over to him but his chest is melted down and he falls into a sewer down below where he had opened before. The film ends with Superman waving to Lois then walking in the next day as Clark Kent asking if anything important happened yesterday.

| You should do these for movies like The Avengers or TDKR for people who can't see them. PS: Good job, I don't know how accurate it is cause I haven't seen Superman III but it was a good read :) |

| @jackpot SM III was horrid and had potential but they never capitalized which is why i rewrote the entire movie. III didn't even have a villain i think. However in the future...Dark Knight Rises..your time will be soon *cue evil laugh* |
