A cool breeze caresses your cape. The gritty concrete of the Monarch Theater roof crunches underfoot.
You soak in the air of your birthplace for what may be a final time, then turn to the unstoppable force before you.
SUPERMAN: After I was threatened with that...rock, I intended to give you space. There were bigger threats to handle, other people to help. I couldn’t focus on you just because <span class="mu-s">I</span> was the one in danger. But when I saw you take over an island, I felt...
BATMAN: Scared?
SUPERMAN: Concerned. For the people here. Justice is important to me. Taking over like this...
BATMAN: Justice is a myth. Sold to us by the men with boots on our necks so we don't stand up. Consequences are real.[2] Like thousands of people rising against the government and companies that treated them like cattle and trapped them into a slum.
SUPERMAN: You know I’m no friend of the government. They made that crystal you’re hoarding because they know I wouldn’t let them bully the people of this planet anymore. And I can’t let you do that either. If you cross the line...
BATMAN: Are you here to threaten me?
SUPERMAN: I’m here to talk. You messaged in good faith. I don’t trust what you’re doing here, but I won’t escalate the situation.
