The production team has confirmed that the season will use 2D animation techniques with digital lighting to recreate the tone of the original comics. The plot will focus on Superman's apparent death and the appearance of four substitutes, each with a distinct design and personality. The writers have worked to condense the 1992 arc into 10 episodes, maintaining the essence of the source material while adapting it to the series' pace. Episodes are expected to be 22 minutes long, with action scenes choreographed by the animation studio Studio Mir.

The series will have to explain why four guys with an S on their chest appear while Clark Kent is away. Most likely, one will be a rebellious teenager, another a cyborg with anger issues, and the third a bald guy with a mustache who insists he is the real one. The fourth, of course, will be a rag Superman who only says motivational phrases. At least they won't have to worry about the cape budget: they'll all be red, even if some look better than others.
