Season 5
TV Show · Action · Fantasy

Clark Kent now carries a full load of classes at Central Kansas University, but that’s not all he carries. He carries the full weight of his — and perhaps the world’s — destiny. From the Fortress of Solitude rising from the ice to a Metropolis in flames, this astonishing pivotal season has Clark facing rogue Kryptonians; Lex Luthor launching a vicious political campaign; Clark’s love for Lana Lang deepening, while he and Lois Lane remain friendly adversaries. He also crosses paths with some visitors from the DC Comics universe – AC (aka Aquaman), Victor Stone (aka Cyborg) and the mysterious Milton Fine (aka Brainiac). And a dark tragedy — one that even Clark’s awesome powers can’t prevent — strikes. These and many more key elements of the Superman legend fall into place as the Man of Steel grows another year bolder in a phenomenal fifth season of destiny!
