Incomplete like most of them because there's no need to finish them, but I daresay mine was fun.  There was a bit of Doctor Who inspiration in there, from the chameleon cloth in the suit... the Superman suit can change into Clark's regular clothes, and it also has this subtle little pattern thread that keeps people from recognizing his face when he's Superman, it just won't compute.  Clark can literally stand next to a full-size photo of Superman and no one would be able to notice that it's the same person.  I just thought that would be an interesting change from the "you can't recognize him with his glasses on."

Chloe is an active participant, she's the only one that Clark can talk to about being Superman, which is something he's never had in the movies before.  And there's a little love triangle going on because Clark loves Lois but Chloe has feelings for him since they grew up together and she helped him discover his powers.

Daily Planet's different, the owner was inspired by Harlan Ellison, "if I thought any of you could do my job right I'd retire tomorrow" type of crank.  There's no old typewriters or anything there, it's a newspaper not obsessed with the past, just the next issue.  Jimmy Olsen's the designer, he's actually inspired by a guy named Jacek Utko and he does the layouts, graphics and so on, so he's sort of the hub of activity in the bullpen.

The big plot at the end wound up being what happened in Avengers II, I wanted to have the bad guys try to use the Fortress Of Solitude as a meteor, requiring Clark to fly into space (which he hadn't been able to do yet) and save the day.  That whole sequence was going to start in the subway and Clark would fight his way up the skyline, sort of the reverse of the flying scene in Jupiter Ascending, where they float down to the ground.  The climax was going to destroy both the Fortress and the Daily Planet, meaning things in the next movie will be different than anything we've seen in Superman before.
