After falling through a wormhole, a powerful young superhero with supernatural power is thrown through a whirlwind when he finds himself in the "Real World" where he and his adventures have been nothing more than a series of books.
This sounds like a play on fish out of water and an exercise in dramatic irony. But once the fun of seeing the MC deal with the new surrounding and learn the rules of the real world they will need a plot and that's not coming through the logline.

This sounds like a play on fish out of water and an exercise in dramatic irony. But once the fun of seeing the MC deal with the new surrounding and learn the rules of the real world they will need a plot and that’s not coming through the logline.
There have been many films where a fictional character is magically transformed into the “real” world: as mentioned previously Last Action Hero, The Purple Rose of Cairo, Stranger Than Fiction, the end of The Never Ending Story, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Space Jam, even in a Halloween special of The Simpsons Homer falls through a wormhole into the “real” world.
As a well established trope the magical mechanism by which the MC travels to the real world needs little if any explanation best to focus as mentioned above on the MC, his or her goal, and the antagonist.

As Nick said hard to understand the conflict but also the MC description is not clear. We don’t know the MCs position in society, cultural background, flaw and we don’t even know the MC sex.
The result is a miss understood protagonist’s motivation and conflict.
You don’t need to put all the detail above in a logline but only the crucial description of the MC that would explain what the stakes and obstacles are for him or her.
Courtroom drama’s are notoriously hard to make exciting so the motivations and stakes have to be perfectly designed to maintained an interest throughout the whole story.
Hope this helps.
