to analyze genetic sample.

Acknowledging presence

of genetic material.

Analyzing.

I've identified the host as

General Zod of Kandor.

Acknowledging presence

of foreign genetic material.

- Oh.

- Analyzing.

You flew too close to the sun.

Now look at you.

Advising.

Action forbidden.

It is been decreed

by the Council of Krypton

that none will ever again

give life to a deformity

so hateful to sighted memory.

The desecration without name.

And where is the Council of Krypton?

Destroyed, sir.

Then proceed.

Very well.

Preparing chrysalis and

commencing metamorphosis.

"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?"

Still no Kent?

"His disappearance raises questions."

No.

"How could he simply have disappeared

at a time when we, as a nation,

need him more than ever?"

WAS SUPERMAN INVOLVED?

Burn him!

Burn him!

Something, isn't it?

We met Kansas, live on a pancake

so we come to the mountains.

All downhill from here.

Down to the flood plain.

The farm is at the

bottom of the world.

I remember one season

water came bad.

I couldn't been 12.

Dad had out the shovels

and we went at it all night.

We worked until

I think I fainted.

But we managed to

stop the water.

We saved the farm.

Your grandma baked me a cake.

She said I was a hero.

Later that day we found out.

We blocked the water, alright,

we sent it upstream.

All alike farm washed away.

While eating my hero cake,

their horses were drowning.

I used to hear them

wailing in my sleep.

Did the nightmares ever stop?

Yeah.

When I met your mother.

She gave me faith that

there is good in this world.

She was my world.

I miss you, son.

I miss you too, Dad.

You know you can't win.

It's suicide.

I'm older now than

my father ever was.

This maybe the only thing

I do that matters.

20 years of fighting criminals

amount to nothing?

Criminals are like weeds, Alfred.

Pull 1 up, another

grows in it's place.

This is about the future

of the world.

It's my legacy.

You know, my father sat

me down, right here.

Told me what Wayne manor

was built of.

Railways, real estates and oil.

The first generation made their

fortune trading with the French.

Pelts and skins.

They were hunters.

We got to wait for more evidence,

but the question still remains,

where is he?

If Superman was not involved,

If he's got nothing to hide,

then why hasn't he been seen

since the day of this tragedy?

Look, you can't...

The knight is here.

Excuse me.

Don't I know you...

Plain lo, in the morning

Lola in slacks.

Lois Lane.

Mmm.

Come see the view.

Now, the secret is the height.

It's the building material.

It's light metals, which...

sway a bit in the wind.

And you know something about LEXCORP

metals, don't you, Miss Lane?

I've proven what you've done.

Wow, you're feisty.

Unfortunately, that will blow away.

Like sand in the desert.

You're psychotic.

That is a three syllable word for

any thought too big for little minds.

Next category:
Circles.

Round and round and round

they go to find Superman.

Wrong category, boy.

No, not triangles.

Yes, Euclidean triangle inequality

The shortest distance between

any 2 points is a straight path.

And I believe the swiftest path

to Superman...

...is a pretty little road.

Mmm, called Lois Lane.

Aahhhhhh!!

You came back.

You came back.

Boy, do we have problems up here!

The problem of,

of evil in the world.

The problem of absolute virtue.

I'll take you in without breaking you.

Which is more than you deserve.

The problem of you

on top of everything else.

You above all.

Ah.

'Cause that's what God is.

Horus. Apollo.

Jehovah. Kal-El.

Clark Joseph Kent.

See. What we call God depends

upon our tribe, Clark Jo.

Because God is tribal.

God takes sides.

No man in the sky intervened

when I was a boy

to deliver me from Daddy's fist

and abominations. Mm mm.

I've figured it out way back,

if God is all powerful,

he cannot be all good.

And if he's all good

then he cannot be all powerful.

And neither can you be.

They need to see

the fraud you are.

With their eyes.

The blood on your hands.

What have you done?

And tonight they will.

Yes. Because you, my friend,

have a date!

Across the bay.

Ripe fruit, his hate.

2 years growing.

But it did not take much

to push him over actually.

Little red notes, big bang.

You let your family die!

And now, you will fly to him,

and you will battle him,

to the death.

Black and Blue.

Fight night!

The greatest gladiator match

in the history of the world.

God vs man.

Day vs night.

Son of Krypton vs Bat of Gotham.

You think I'll fight him for you?

Yes, I do.

I think you'll fight, fight, fight

for that special lady in your life.

She's safe on the ground.

How about you?

Close, but I'm not

talking about Lois.

No. Every boy's special lady

is his mother.

Huh!

Martha, Martha, Martha.

The mother of a flying demon

must be a witch.

The punishment for witches, what is that?

That's right.

Death by fire.

Where is she?

I don't know!

I wouldn't let them tell me!

If you kill me, Martha dies.

And if you fly away, Martha also dies.

But if you kill the Bat...

Martha lives.

There we go.

There we go.

And now God, bends to my will.

Now the cameras are waiting

at your ship.

For the world to see

the holes in the holy.

Yes, the all mighty comes clean about

how dirty he is when it counts.

To save Martha,

bring me the head of the Bat.

Mother of God,

would you look at the time.

When you came here,

you had an hour.

Now it's less.

CNN's Brooke Baldwin is on the scene.

Brooke, you're live on the air.

What do you see?

There's something happening at the ship.

It's sending massive power surges.

The police created a barricade

around this containment center.

And we're trying to get a little bit closer

here to find out what's going on.

It is absolute chaos.

You can see that lightning.

Those surges are like increasing and

they seem to be getting

stronger by the minute.

Daily Planet.

Lois.

I have to go to Gotham

to convince him to help me.

Who?

Or he has to die.

Clark.

No one stays good in this world.

Metropolis in the dark /

power surges from ship

Wayne, Bruce Boys Share Too

Cracked Luthor's Drive found your

...it IS you.

Who are you?
