Justice League (2017)
In Justice League Superman died at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and an alien invasion from Darkseid’s army of Parademons from Apokolips seems to have been thwarted. But Superman’s death has made the Earth an even more tempting target for a future invasion, which is foreseen by Martian Manhunter, prompting Wonder Woman to find a way to resurrect Superman with a secret project on Earth called Project Superman.
Batman, meanwhile, grapples with what Superman’s loss means for humanity as his memory starts to change following an attack on him by one of Superman’s enemies, and his growing friendship with Wonder Woman causes him to decide that the world needs Superman more than he needed him.
Furthermore, I recommend watching DC movies in chronological order to decide who is the greatest superhero of all time.
