Below is the synopsis that they have posted. It sounds about right but ISN'T official. Warner Bros. have released this synopsis to casting agencies to advertise to actors and actresses for the roles in the film.
Clark Kent is a freelance reporter in his 20's, traveling all around the world covering various news stories. While traveling, Kent is forced to fly back into action to attain an assassin instead of covering an ethnic conflict between the Ghuri and Turaaba clans in West Africa. Upon his return to form, Kent returns to Smallville to learn more about his origins and become the hero he was born to be.
What do you make of this synopsis? Do you like the story and what about Clark being in his 20's? For me this sounds perfect!!
