Superman (DCAU)

“	I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am.	„
	~ Superman before pummeling Darkseid

Summary

Like his comic counterpart, Superman's true identity is Kal-El, the last surviving Kryptonian. After being taken in by the Kents and (consequently taking the name Clark Kent), he discovered his powers in his teen years when trying to save a young girl from an exploding trailer, he comes to terms with his true identity and later moves to Metropolis as a reporter, in which he gained his moniker after his first escapade. Along with his many solo adventures he is a founding member of the Justice League, forming particularly close relationships with Wonder Woman, Batman, and Martian Manhunter.
