I’ve already written this at v.20, but I do really like the idea:
The movie starts with Hank Henshaw’s exposed-to-deadly-radiation-and-turned-into-cyborg origin story (well, a simplified version—it’s more complex than I remember, according to the Wiki summary). Henshaw blames Superman for the radiation and raids every database for information on Supes, discovering his secret identity.
Henshaw, driven mad, then kidnaps and chains up Superman using kryptonite and changes his appearance to look exactly like Superman. His goal is systematic destruction of Supes’s reputation. Henshaw reveals the Clark Kent identity to the world, alienating the Daily Planet team; publicly allies with Lex Luthor; kills criminals and refuses to work with law enforcement; and leads worldwide press to Ma and Pa Kent’s farm. (He could also propose to Lana Lang and then break her heart—something to hurt every person Superman knows and loves.)
The only people skeptical about the ruse are Luthor, who is baffled by Superman’s change of personality, and Jimmy Olsen, whom Henshaw’s databases left out. Jimmy is the one who eventually tracks down and frees the real Superman, who (after more plot shenanigans) beats Henshaw. But he still has to deal with the consequences of Henshaw’s actions, including his biggest secret’s being revealed.
I originally had the events of the story happening on major holidays, but then I realized that might be too much like Long Halloween. (I wouldn’t be opposed, though, to setting the story around seasons, like Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale’s A Superman for All Seasons—I always like having some kind of schematic or pattern running beneath stories, for some reason.)
As for a title… Superman: Alter Ego (or Alter Egos) may be a bit obvious, and it doesn’t flow, but it sorta gets to the themes of the story. (Incidentally, Henshaw is a great Superman villain because he’s an anti-Superman—a man who attained power and became corrupted, as opposed to a man born with power who remains uncorrupted. I’m surprised none of the movies has used him.) Superman: Flesh and Blood also came to mind, but it’s better for a comic than a movie, I think—I’d love something that suggests Gnosticism, because Henshaw serves as a vaguely demiurgic counterpart to Supes, without coming off as too pretentious, but I can’t think of one.
Maybe Powers in the Air, which sounds Biblical (“prince of the power of the air”) and also has that nice play on “powers” (as long as no one thinks of Austin!). It’d be fun to use Principalities and Superpowers, but “principalities” doesn’t fit. Titles are hard.

Legion of Super-Heroes: STEAL. THIS. GALAXY.
It's the 31st century. The superhero is the intellectual property of the United Planets and the Science Police. Systematized and highly commodified, their agents, the Legion of Super-Heroes, is a vast armada of super-powered beings recruited from all corners of the galaxy. Through their training and advanced technology, super villainy is a thing of the distant past.
Organized into combat, research, and philanthropic sub-teams, the Legion tackles ecological disasters, sentient rights violations, poverty, and civil unrest across the galaxy.
All Legionnaires revere the greatest superhero of them all --- the Man of Steel. Seemingly disintegrated in the late 21st century, in his final confrontation with arch-nemesis Brainiac, the mystery of "whatever happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" has plagued one Legionnaire, in particular, his entire life - Querl Dox (aka Brainiac 5). The original Brainiac is also presumed deceased in the confrontation...
Is Querl Dox looking for the truth behind the death of the greatest superhero that ever lived, or is he trying to vindicate a long-dead ancestor?
Is the original Brainiac dead, or could he have somehow found a way to permanently defeat Kal-El of Krypton and pull off the most sensational heist ever conceived?
Aided by the Legion's best and brightest, the Triplicate Girl, Lighting Lad, Colossal Boy, and the Phantom Girl, Dox must GO ROUGE and challenge everything he believes in to solve a mind-bending intergalactic mystery.
