Hero-Cake

 

"And so we are left 

to wonder if Superman 

was aware of the threat and did 

nothing, was he then complicit 

in The Capitol tragedy?" 

Perry White :

Still no Kent? 

"His disappearance 

raises questions." 

No. 

"There are still so many unanswered questions. 

Chief among them, whether Superman was 

involved in the planning of this attack. 

I mean, here's an individual 

who has unlimited Power, 

yet did nothing to stop the bomb 

just a few feet away from him. 

It just doesn't add up for investigators. 

Burn him, burn him, burn him. 

Burn him, burn him, burn him. 

For $20 American, 

he didn't see you. 

Same for me. 

Now one FBI official familiar with this case 

told me they found, quote, :

"A jackpot of bomb materials 

inside Keefe's apartment. " 

What they need to determine now 

is whether he had any help 

in the planning and 

execution of the bomb. 

And they haven't ruled out the idea that 

Superman was a co-conspirator. 

Now, my sources are telling me 

they are getting a barrage of anonymous 

and credible tips with all roads 

in this investigation leading to 

The Kryptonian visitor. 

Gotham Cop :

All right, Lois. 

You gotta go. 

Lois Lane :

He didn't know he 

was gonna die. 

He just bought groceries. 

The Martian Manhunter :

The Wheelchair 

and The Bullet 

from The Desert were 

made from the same metal. 

Lois Lane :

I know. The Desert. The Hearing. 

Everywhere Superman goes, 

Luthor wants Death. 

The Martian Manhunter 

But, Luthor goes through 

all of that Trouble... 

Creates A Bomb out of 

A Wheelchair, 

and then alters it to 

reduce The Blast? 

Lois Lane :

What do you mean...? 

The Martian Manhunter 

The inside of The Chair 

was lined with Lead.

 

Lois Lane :

….You couldn't stop it;

You couldn't see it. 

On a Mountaintop :

Johnathan Kent's Ghost :

Something, isn't it? 

We Men of Kansas live on a pancake, 

so we come to The Mountains. 

All downhill from here, 

down to the floodplain. 

Farm at The Bottom of The World. 

I remember one season 

The Water came bad. 

I couldn't have been 12. 

Dad handed out the shovels 

and we went at it all night. 

We worked till, I think, I fainted. 

But we managed to Stop The Water. 

We Saved The Farm. 

Your grandma baked me a cake. 

Said I was A Hero. 

Later that day we found out 

we blocked The Water all right. 

We sent it upstream. 

The whole Lang farm 

washed away. 

While I ate My Hero-Cake, 

their horses were drowning. 

I used to hear them 

wailing in my sleep. 

Clark :

Did the nightmares 

ever stop? 

Johnathan Kent's Ghost :

Yeah. When I met 

Your Mother. 

She gave me Faith that 

There's Good in This World. 

She was My World. 

I miss you, son. 

Clark :

I miss you too, Dad. 

•••••••

Alfred :

You know you can't win this. 

It's suicide. 

Bruce Wayne :

I'm older now than 

My Father ever was. 

This may be the only 

thing I do that matters. 

Alfred :

20 years of fighting criminals 

in Gotham amounts to nothing? 

Bruce Wayne :

Criminals are like 

weeds, Alfred. 

Pull one up, another 

grows in its place --

This is about 

The Future of 

The World. 

This is My Legacy. 

My Father sat me 

down right here. 

Told me what 

Wayne Manor 

was built on. 

Railroads, 

real estates, 

and oil. 

The first generation 

made their fortune 

trading with The French. 

Pelts and skins. 

They were Hunters. 

Alfred :

.....so falls The House 

of Wayne.
