The Death of Superman Page #5

---

League is supposed to scare us?

That happens once a week.

I don't know where you've

come from, you alien scum.

But you've picked

the wrong city.

And the wrong human.

Metropolis is,

and always has been,

under the protection of Lex

Luthor, you son of a b*tch!

Now to get a piece of you.

Step back,

you freak of nature!

No! Stay away from me.

I am Lex Luthor!

I'm supposed to win.

No! I'm supposed to win.

No!

Clark?

I got your note.

And I love you, too.

No!

Stay with me.

Please, stay with me.

That thing... Is he?

Yes.

You did it.

You saved everyone.

Good. It's all

I ever wanted.

Except for you.

What a lucky man I was.

No! No, no, no!

Superman was

an example that inspired us

to reach beyond ourselves, to

soar towards a better tomorrow.

He was a hero to Metropolis but

more importantly, he was a friend.

Really, sorry, sir.

I need you to step back a bit.

...his powers

were truly amazing.

Is she gonna be okay?

Yes, Officer. It's just

a big loss for everyone.

Yeah, Superman was kinda

like family, wasn't he?

Of course,

he didn't act alone.

The Justice League also

put their lives on the line

against this brutal,

incomprehensible evil.

In many ways,

I'm sure they feel the loss

of their leader and comrade,

most of all.

And let us not forget the

quick action from Lex Luthor,

who allowed Superman the time

he needed to save us all.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Lex Luthor.

Thank you, Mayor Booker.

It's no secret Superman

and I had our differences,

but this wasn't

always the case.

You would be surprised all

the times he came to visit.

The wisdom he would impart.

I will miss those late night

chats on my balcony.

For Superman,

always in our hearts.

Hail Mary, full of

Grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are thou

among women

and blessed is the fruit

of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour

of our death.

Amen.

Why would you

let Superman die

when a washed up old roughneck

like me goes on living?

It ain't right, God.

It just ain't right.

I don't understand

your hesitation, Dr. Klyburn.

If S.T.A.R. Lab's research on

the alien corpse is complete,

Project Cadmus is perfectly suited to

house it until it's ready for disposal.

It's fine here. LexCorp just needs

to get the payload rocket ready

so the government can get

this creature off planet

before it lands

in the wrong hands.

You know I've been

exonerated, yes?

You and your S.T.A.R. bureaucrats

can't keep trying me

for crimes I've been

cleared of.

You may have been cleared, Luthor,

but no one thinks you're innocent.

As far as I'm concerned, Cadmus is a

genetic pirate ship posing as research...

Someone track it.

Where's it going?

Up, up and away.

No one's

touched a thing.

I know. I just wanted to

check in on him.

You know, there's still a lot of

people missing after the battle.

They're being found every day.

Clark will show up.

He's got the best reason

of all to return.

Thanks, Cat.

- Louis! Good you're still here.

- Yeah. What's going on?

Police scanners.

Come on!

Jim, I'm in no mood to chase

a story right now.

You will be. Trust me!

You drive.

- Is it true?

- You tell me.

Oh, my God!

Superman?
