First, let's talk a bit more about that logline. SlashFilm points out that the brief hint of a story for the Superman reboot mirrors that of a story arc from a twelve-issue comic book limited series called Superman: Birthright. In that comic series, apparently Clark Kent is a freelance reporter in his early 20's, traveling all around the world covering various news stories. However, Kent is forced to fly back into action to attain a fleeing assassin instead of covering an ethnic conflict (not a real one) between the Ghuri and Turaaba clans (also not real) 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. You can read more about Superman: Birthright right here.
