False Fear

Superman :

You made contingency plans to stop 

everybody in the League 

just in case any of us 

ever went bad.

The Batman :

My contingencies were intended 

to immobilise, not kill.

Superman :

But Savage came up with The Plan to bury you.

The Batman :

I assume so. It wasn't one of mine.

Was that it?

Superman :

With all that talk about unchecked power, 

you're still so arrogant you didn't 

bother to come up with A Plan 

to stop yourself?

The Batman :

I DO have A Plan.

It's called “The Justice League”.

Superman :

Just wanted to be sure.

The Batman :

What is it?

[ it’s a Kryptonite Bullet. ]

Superman :

If The League ever did go over to the wrong side 

I want there to be somebody I can trust

to keep the planet safe.

Even from me.

The Batman :

Hal. Hal, listen to me.

However it looks, this 

wasn't your fault.

Hal Jordan :

Who's fault was it, then?

I was the one with 

the most powerful

weapon in the universe.

I was the one whose arrogance

led to this girl's death.

The Batman :

I know more than a little

about arrogance.

I also know about dead bodies,

and that isn't one.

She's a sophisticated android.

They all were.

The entire scenario 

was created to convince you 

that you made a bad call.

But you didn't.

Hal Jordan :

I was afraid that --

The Batman :

No. You weren't afraid. 

Not really.

You were dosed with 

a synthesised version of 

The Scarecrow's fear gas...

...because Will is the 

source of Your Strength.

And Fear is The Enemy of Will.

The Batman :

I've got the antidote to the fear gas.

Hal Jordan :

Don't need it.

Robots, advanced drugs,

psychological profiling —

No way Star Sapphire

came up with this on her own.

The Batman :

I did this to you.

To all of you.
