Thank you.

No need to thank us, sir, as we will not appreciate it. We have no consciousness

whatsoever. Merely automatons here to serve.

Meet 12.

She's Muse.

He looked at me. I put your parents' message on to soothe you.

Thank you. He finds it soothing.

The message was damaged to transit from Krypton to Earth.

But what is there?

We love you more than heaven or sun.

We love you more than land.

Our beloved home will soon be gone forever.

But hope vitalizes our heart. And that moment is you, Kal -El.

We have searched the universe for a home where you can do the most good.

And live out Gryphon's truth.

That place is her.

I'm the rest of the message is lost.

Damage to bladder, kidney.

Large intestine.

Lungs. Our poor still so mad.

With a healthy dose of yellow sun, we'll have him up and at him in no time.

near here. I can't see where.

I'll keep looking.

Sir, you are only 83 % restored to health. You must rest.

No can do, Four. I gotta get back to the fray.

But this hammer fellow just beat you at full power.

What is this?

Krypto!

What the hey, dude? I thought you destroyed the whole Superman robot. I

I told you to keep an eye on him. We feed the canine, but he is unruly. A man

who realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn't in our heart of hearts care

less whether he lives or dies.

Stop, Krypto. Feed it.

Ow, ow, stop, ow, stop.

Krypto, ow, ow, stop.

He's back. You're five o 'clock.

12 -C.

18 -A.

34 -B.

38 -Z.

We have the engineer.

The target has led us to the ice castle.

The rumors are true. I don't know how he helped. He must have been spotted.

Comes two to one.

That's the entire structure that's ascended into the ice.

We have what we need. Return to base.

I can't really do it, Liz.

Your pride won't be making our choices today, Angela. Thank you.

Tell him what we need to do.

Wrap it up.

The United States will continue to feel the wrath of the hammer of Arabia.

Hey, Mike.

Once again, you freak. When you say to women from being hit by a taxi, are you

all right, sir?

No, you got to get out of here. You say this so many times.

Now it's our turn.

Maybe you shouldn't have done that thing in Jarhand for us, Superman.

You're late again, Kent.

Sorry, Perry.

Hey, loser.

Hey, Steve.

Hey, what do you got against adverbs, Kent?

How are we supposed to know how we feel when we read this, Walmart?

In sports writing, you learn the sentence is the modifier.

Hey, Mom.

Mom!

Mom should barbecue up in your roadkill later. Shouldn't be like that.

What's that, Clark?

Sorry, Mom, just in the middle of the business.

What are chitlins?

Chitlins are intestines.

Thanks, Kat.

You read this, Grant?

And I thought it was great, Clark.

Great? Yeah.

Why do we not want to keep you?

But, uh,

want to just say congrats and tell you we're thinking about you, Clark.

It's been a mean...

Okay, I gotta go. I gotta run.

Yep, okay, love you.

So this guy just flew into Midtown and started attacking people, demanding for

Superman to show up? Yeah, it's all there in my article.

I don't actually have to make it through your writing, Clark. Knowledge is worth

many sacrifices.

That isn't one of them. Uh -huh, very funny, Willis.

22 people in the hospital, over 20 million in property damage. It does make

wonder. Wonder what?

As great as he is, maybe Superman didn't completely linger the ramifications of

the Brady thing.

Well, this guy's even from Bravia.

What do you mean? His name is the Hammer of Bravia. Yeah, I doubt his parents

named him that, Jimmy. We have no clue what his actual goal was here. I think

it's pretty obvious the goal was kicking Superman's ass. He didn't completely

kick Superman's ass. Pretty thoroughly, Clark. Show me! You show me what's the

price thereof between Bravia and this hammer!

Yeah, see, Superman did say he thought the hammer might be faking a Bravian

accent. Superman said that? Yeah, I interviewed him right afterwards.

Great guy.

What you're

looking at, my friends, is

the most powerful being on planet Earth.

Ultraman.

You created this man.

Check this out. The engineer, a former special operative whose blood I infused

with microscopic machines called nanites, which she can pour into

can imagine.

And of course, you're familiar with my flying armored forces, Raffens.

Altogether, they're an unstoppable force we call Planet Watch.

More than capable of containing any other worldly threat.

So you want the Defense Department to hire your medic humans to take down the

Kryptonian? After Superman acted with violence against our Barabian allies, I

think it'd be worth considering. Big Blue stopped the war.

Naive, maybe, but well -intentioned. Well, I don't know the intentions of an

unintended fire hose, General Flagg. I just do what I can not to be splashed.

Mr. Luther.

The disarming Director Crawley.

The country of Boravia has purchased over $80 billion worth of arms from

Corp in the past two years.

And? And no one would profit more from a war with Boravia and John Ford than

you. A cynic might say that having Superman out of the way might not be bad

business. Well, what's particularly bad for business is dying. And I have a

distinct feeling that's where we're all headed, with the Kryptonian running

wild. So we're going to lock up all metahumans now. The other metahumans

going off half -cock, interfering in foreign affairs.

They don't have, and I have proof of this, a hidden headquarters in

that violates 12 international treaties, and they aren't aliens.

Shouldn't all that be more than enough reason for Planet Watch to at least

the Kryptonian in for questioning?

Admittedly, I'm not comfortable with a being from another planet as dangerous

him on the loose. But the optics?

Superman is popular.

Less so every day, according to Chatter Online.

Not to mention the potential risk of failing to contain him. I assure you,

Secretary, we can contain him. Yeah, they got the stuff.

What's this kryptonite stuff called?

It's called kryptonite foam. It kills him, right?

As far as we can ascertain, there's none left on the planet. I have a workaround

for that as well. Well, what it doesn't matter, Les.

It is without solid proof of malicious intent. It's just not worth the risk.

What are you doing here?

Three months ago, we had our first date. And so to celebrate, I am making you

your favorite.

Breakfast for dinner. That's your favorite.

You love breakfast.

Yeah, for breakfast. You love it for dinner.

That's very funny, Beth.

What? It's hilarious, the little back and forth we had going.

You're giving me guts for my article?

Jimmy was eating it up.

I wasn't acting, Clark.

If you keep interviewing yourself, eventually people are going to figure it

What about the glasses?

They won't fool everyone forever.

And ethically, these interviews are hugely problematic. I mean, you

know the questions in advance.

Okay, so I'll let you interview me.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that. Come on, Lois. I'm media savvy. I can

handle any question that comes my way.

Are you being serious right now?

Yeah.

You'd let me interview you as Superman?

Sure.

How about now?

Um... Ready?

Do it, Cronkite.

Miss Lane.

Recently, you've come under a lot of fire.

It's a lot.

Today, the Secretary of Defense said he was going to look into your actions in

Bravia.

That's funny.

It's not funny, funny. It's just, I mean, come on. My actions? I stopped a

Maybe. Not maybe. I did.

Okay. How?

Well, Bravia invaded Jarhamper, and I showed up and told them that wasn't

And? And...

smashed some tanks and things and a couple of planes and some other stuff.

There were no casualties and no significant injuries.

Did you interact at all with the president of Bravia, Vasil Gurkov?

A very small amount.

What's a very small amount?

That was between us.

This is all on the record.

Yeah, but that conversation was between the two of us.

Yeah, and I would ask that question whether or not I need the answer to it.

Really? Really.

After I stopped the war, I went to see Gerkos. Where?

In the capital of Luchabik at the royal palace.

And? And I took a private audience with Gerkos.

How? I blew him out to the desert and I... And?

And I placed him against a cactus.

A cactus.

So, torture?

No, not torture. It's spikes for like, not even that big.

What did he say?

I told him that if he ever messes with Jarhan Bergen, he'll have to personally

answer to me. What did you mean by that?

That if such events occurred, we would have a more serious discussion, that's

all. More serious than tearing up his back on a cactus? Gercos was going to

people. You seem to keep forgetting that. In effect, you illegally entered a

country, inserting yourself in the middle of an incredibly heated

crisis. Hold on a second. Siding with a nation, Jarhan. which historically has

not been a friend. Jarhansburg has changed. Against a nation that's

our ally and then threatened to murder their head of state. First of all,

whether or not Jarhansburg is an imperfect country does not give another

the right to invade it. Yes, but the Barabian government maintains they're

freeing the Jarhansburgians from a tyrannical regime. Yes, but you know

very silly. I do? The Barabian government of all people is saying this?

This is on the record, Superman.

No, no. Now, see, now you're being dishonest, Lois. I'm being dishonest.

Why? Because you know as well as I do that the Arabian government is not well

-informed. I think that's almost certainly the case, but do I know that?

No, I don't.

Can we move on now?

Yeah, fine.

Hi.

Do you think this is going well? Do I think this is going well?

Um, I think I'm doing a good job.

Hey, Brian, did you consult with the president before entering Arabian

No. The Secretary of Defense? No. Or any U .S. official before you took matters

into your own hands and decided unilaterally how to handle this

delicate situation?

His goons were going to kill people. Yes, but the results of you seemingly

acting as a representative of the United States... I wasn't representing anybody

except me.

...around the world, more than a war that lasted between 12 and 24 hours and

just replacing one tyrannical regime with another. Is that really how you

I'm not the one being interviewed, Superman, but...

I question it.

Yeah, I would question myself in the same situation and hold off the beat and

consider the consequences. People were going to die!

Okay,

I'd like to change the subject, if I could.

Okay. You've gotten a lot of heat on social media lately.

I don't read that stuff.

Superman doesn't have time for selfies.

Third person?

You're referring to yourself in third person? No. No, it's just a thing I came

up with that I thought I'd try to work into the next interview.

This is on the record, Superman.

Okay, well, not the part where I said that. Yes, that part. No, that part was

aside. That was off the record. You have to say off the record beforehand, not

after. Why are you being like this? Fine, I won't write that you spend your

spare time trying to think up soundbites, which are terrible, by the

Social media. Yes.

As you may know, or...

Maybe you don't, since you claim not to read any of that stuff. Very seldomly.

Maybe sometimes people catch you reading it and looking very upset.

Okay, well, you can't use that. People on social media are suspicious because

you are an alien, yes?

Yes. I've been very honest about that from the beginning.

I come from a planet called Krypton.

Okay. Which is gone now, by the way.

Destroyed. Along with all of my history, my parents.

They sent me here as a baby to save my life. Here? Where? I'm not going to say

that. You know I'm not going to say that.

Okay.

What do you know about these biological parents of yours?

Just that they sent me here to serve humanity and to help the world to be a

better place.

They said that.

They did.

They sent a message along with me.

That message is why I do what I do. I cherish it more than anything.

Because you understand.

Now, there are an awful lot of people out there maintaining you're here for

nefarious purposes.

Hashtag super spy, hashtag super shit.

Super shit? Come on, Lois. You know that one specifically.

You're a dick. This is off the record, Clark.

I didn't make it up. It's what people on the internet are saying.

I'm going to go.

Really? Yeah. Come on, Clark. Don't do this.

I'm not doing anything.

No? No, that's not you? Packing up your shit and walking out of an interview?

I'm not walking out of an interview. I'm just late. No, this is what you do

every time you're faced with conflict. You get mad. You pout. I'm not mad. You

pretend like nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong.

Look, I gave you a nice long interview.

Longer than I ever gave myself, by the way. Oh, you can time your imaginary

interviews with yourself? That's a thing you can do?

You've got a lot of good stuff.

Some stuff you can't use. I am well aware.

And you can never work.

What does that mean?

Lois?

What does that mean?

Nothing. I just told you I wasn't good at relationships.

He was right ahead.

But how are we going to gain access?

apologize, but this is a restricted area.

Wait.

of what we came for.

Hopefully there's something on here we can use to convince the general Superman

requires immediate action.

I can't stand the better humans, but he's so much worse.

Superman.

He's not a man.

He's an it.

A thing with a cocky grin and a stupid outfit that somehow becomes the focal

point of the entire world's conversation.

Nothing's felt right since he showed up.

I know, Max.

I've sacrificed my own humanity to help get rid of them.

Can you get in?

It might take a while.

What if they could turn yourselves up? Don't worry.

I'm creating them.

Distraction.

What?

This person.

It's damaged,

but there's more.

I can recover the rest.

It's an awful experience.

It's a good video.

Everybody okay?

Hey, buddy.

Eyes up here.

Deep, slow breaths, ma 'am.

You're going to be fine.

The Justice Gang has arrived on the scene. That's Green Lantern, Hawkgirl,

Mr. Terrific. They're funded by the Lord Tech Corporation.

trying to figure out a way to get it out of here alive.

Get it someplace where we can study it.

I was hoping we could capture it and take it to an

intergalactic zoo or... At least you and I did less painfully. Come on, bro,

don't be such a wuss.

Hey! Just another day!

Why is nobody clapping?

This has to be BS.

U .S. have confirmed the translation and 30 of the top forensic computer techs

have confirmed the validity of the footage itself.

Any chance they're mistaken?

Unfortunately, no.

You have the footage? Just take a look.

We love you more than heaven, our son.

We love you more than land.

Our beloved home is to be gone forever.

But hope vitalizes our hearts.

is you colette we have searched the universe for a home where you can do the

most good and live out krypton's truth that place is birth i don't get it

bad about that

What level of kind act Superman has performed over the years?

Saving countless lives? No.

He's grooming us.

lulling us into complacency so he can dominate without resistance, forging a

path for his super -powered descendants to rule the earth.

I will not accept that.

Will you?

I'm scared.

I will admit that. I am scared.

Because who knows how large His secret hair is already.

Of course I don't have a hero. Any of that message is even remotely true.

Instead, you are exactly the kind of alien threat I was commandeered by the

Green Lantern Corps to protect its planet against.

Back off, Guy.

Make a move, Big Blue.

Guy, relax.

Was the message real or not?

The first half is real.

The second half was damaged from Krypton to Earth.

It's got to be Dr. No way, Clark.

I know this computer forensics guy. They're not going to say it's legit

they are sure.

I'm so sorry, man.

But there's no way that message is fake.

Where'd they get the footage, though?

Thank you, Superman, for questioning.

We're talking with the president, and we are reviewing our options now. Now I'm

slow, but I have to go. You buying this? I don't put anything past Luthor, Rick.

But the message is authentic.

If the Kryptonian is a danger, we have to act.

I was a big Superman fan. I supported him all the time online and stuff, but

now? I mean, I hope he rocks it. I don't care who you're supporting.

Where is he? Don't call me chief. I'm getting to my job.

It's no wonder the Kryptonians interfere with Boravia's interests.

Boravia wants to save the people of Jahanpur, and Superman wants to

keep them in safe.

As though, from what I hear, he finds Boravian women

the most physically attractive.

and wants to add them to his secret area.

Thank you!

I won't celebrate until the alien is off the board.

Oh, here. Brought you a donut from Doe's Holes. New shop in Park Bridge, all

places. It's a fake message.

A stroke of genius.

It's not fake.

He's here to kill us.

I knew you. I'm at Superman's fortress. I hope to get the knowledge to help

destroy him.

Little did I know his own parents would be providing him.

Oh, my word. Right? Yeah.

I'm thinking of opening one in my half of your head for him.

Four. Four.

What happened?

I tried to protect Superman.

How did Lucifer get in here?

It's keyed into my DNA.

Must protect Superman.

Four.

I'm sorry.

Crypto? Crypto?

Well, yeah, that's going to be fine.

I can't stop him. It's fine. I'm an American Superman.

We finally meet. Would you like a coffee?

Where's the dog?

Dog? The dog, loser! You took the dog! That's right. You get all of this.

I have no clue what you're talking about.

He's just a dog.

I don't know what dog you're talking about.

What did you say? I didn't say anything.

You heard what he said.

You heard him. He took it. I mean, it seems to me that the only rabid animal

around here is Superman.

Ever since the discovery of the Kryptonians master plan.

He's gone off the deep end.

Thoughts, Chris?

Can't say I'm surprised, Cleveland.

It's guys like this, they always got a whole bunch of dark, ugly secrets. What

do you mean, guys like this?

Vince is better than everybody else.

Makes some declarations against killing people unless it's absolutely necessary.

Really, dude?

It kind of sounds like you're trying to make the guys who are a little more

injured than you look like jerks. You know what I mean?

Uh -huh. A lot of these guys, these heroes from the magazine, they're

with me.

Because I'm more jacked than they are.

It'll do it.

Do you have a dog?

No, not really. It's more of a foster situation.

Coco.

You were out there helping them?

Oh, no, that's just some dimensional imp.

They've got that handled. I was looking for the dog.

You okay?

The footage is not what it looks like, Lois.

Okay. The ship my parents sent me in was damaged in transit, so I only ever

heard the first part of the message.

And I believed that I knew how it ended.

That my parents had sent me here to serve the people of Earth and to be a

man.

I'm not here to rule over anybody, Lois.

I never thought you were.

Even for a moment, Clark.

I like the Strangle Fellows and the PODs and the Mighty Crabjoys. Those

are pop radio bands. They're not punk rock.

The Mighty Crabjoys suck.

Okay, well, a lot of people love them.

My point is I question everything.

And everyone.

You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is, like,

beautiful.

Maybe that's the real punk rock.

Lois, what did you mean when you said...

And you knew this would never work.

I don't know.

I'm gonna go.

The DOJ has a warrant out for my arrest, so I'm gonna turn myself in. Wait,

what?

Why? Maybe they'll take me wherever they took the dog.

I don't know how else to find him.

It's a dog.

Yeah, and he's not even a very good one, but he's out there alone.

And he's probably scared.

I love you, Lois.

I probably should have told you that a long time ago.

Is that necessary?

I'm coming into my own accord.

No one read me my rights.

Of course, the side of those rights don't apply to extraterrestrial

Therefore, at this point, Superman, you don't have any rights to read.

The government is very well aware of potential limitations pertaining to you,

we've outsourced your confinement and your interrogation to Planet Watch.

Planet Watch.

I'm sorry about this.

What a pleasure.

Luther.

Your obsession with me is getting a little creepy.

Don't worry.

Tall, dark, and Martian is my type.

Kryptonian. Yeah, same here.

Where are we?

Pocket universe.

I replicated the Big Bang with the Luciforbe Mega Collider, tearing a tiny

between the two universal fables.

I'm able to access it from multiple dimensional portals I've set up around

globe.

Rex, the metahuman known as the Element Man, has been called into service for a

specific purpose.

He can metamorphose into any known substance, even substances foreign to

planet.

Life.

Kryptonite.

Vassil Gerpost is sending troops to the Jahangirian border.

Superman's been out of commission less than a day and already Bravia's pulling

this crap?

Right? What?

Sorry, I'm trying to figure out how Lex Luthor's connected to all this.

How's that a mystery?

Luthor Corp sells arms to Bravia. Bravia goes to war, Luthor sells more arms and

gets richer than Adam.

Nope. No?

Uh -uh.

I have a connection at Voda Bank. Voda handles the transactions between Luther

Corp and Bravia. Yes, Luther Corp sold them approximately $80 billion worth of

arms, but for those arms, Bravia paid only $1 .625 billion.

So Luther gave them arms for free.

For what?

That's the $78 ,375 ,000 ,000 question.

Have you found out where they're holding Superman?

No one in the government will say.

Luther seems to be working to disable Superman just so he can't stop the

invasion of Jarl's War.

Why?

That's way too much sugar, Mom. I party like a rock star, choir boy.

Still can't hide the taste of petroleum.

Like solving Superman in a pocket universe.

A what?

I don't know what a pocket universe is, neither does my source. They don't know

anything about anything, really. But for a source, he's in a pocket universe.

Who's your source?

I can't say, but you owe me.

Big time.

Like, I can't even tell you how big.

I love you, Jimmy Olsen. I love you. Love you.

Monkeybots here, Farming Outrage 24 -7.

Grasping you online.

Well,

how do you contain the Superdog?

You beam the Super Squirrel up into its brain.

We'll learn what we can.

And we'll put the varmint down.

It won't ever be painful.

This is our private correctional institution.

Most elves are rented out to governments who want to keep their incarceration of

political agitators private.

Others, it's more personal transgressions.

Well, Rhett wrote a blog about it. There are a few things I hate more than...

Teddy ex -girlfriend.

You wouldn't be telling me anything.

Did we ever plan on letting you out? No.

You'd be terminated already if it was up to me.

But first, the government has some questions they want answered.

Red, look who it is.

We need to keep our guests in check.

Old children certainly wouldn't want it any other way.

I'll be back tomorrow to get the answers we need.

It's me here, but Lex has always asked him to trust the cameras so he knows

where I am. I really don't understand why you're saying that relationship.

There's even a point to tell me about all these ex -girlfriends he had in

and his fucking universe.

What? Right?

How's your mom?

My mom? Oh, I love her so much. I think of her as my mom even more than my own

mother. Oh, it feels the same way from the one time that you guys met. Yes. So,

hey, okay.

Yes.

There seems to be some sort of connection between Bravia and your

I'm not sure what...

What's wrong?

What's all?

I thought you wanted to see me, Jimmy.

I do, but Eve, how can I even really deal with, like, still in the picture?

You're just trying to get information on him.

I swear to God, that's not it. I just know that if I can get some real dirt on

him, then maybe the two of us could... Could be together again?

Someone spilled shrimp cocktail on the floor. You have unconventional bones.

cares? There's other parts of you that people would find very attractive.

Lex tortured a dog the other day.

Jason, Christ!

I know. I have to go.

Eve, please see what you can find out.

Okay. Yes.

Yes.

I'm putting them in my pocket.

Joseph, he's your son? Don't talk to him.

Please.

I'll go over and get him. Please.

Please stop with the cryptos. There's no way out of here.
