I AM SO HERE FOR PEOPLE THRASING THEIR ALTERNATE SELVES YISSSSSSSS. And Clark defending Batman because Batman saved his mother, awwww.
And oh, Bruce wants to tell Clark exactly how wrong he is: that Lex Luthor hadn't had to do a damn thing to him except tell him exactly what he'd wanted to hear, that he'd swallowed it all from hook to sinker without a second thought. That Batman is the absolute last person Clark should be willing to make excuses for. Yessssssssssss, give me Bruce's guilt, give me all of it! I also love how he doesn't run because Martha needs his help, aww (I mean, sure, Bruce, tell yourself that's the only reason you're staying). And aaaaaah, Bruce being all efficient and focused on what needs to be done and Martha trying to reassure him, all of this is so cute.
And she isn't wrong, after all: Bruce has ample proof that, given the opportunity, Clark will wholeheartedly make the worst choice available to him regardless of the cost to himself.
(Which surely means that Bruce—as a friend—should make every effort to stop him.) THIS IS PERFECTION, ANON! :D gkjdlgjdfgidudbg Bruce trying to keep that distance between them for Clark's own sake, aaaaaaaah.
He recites this like he's memorized it, like it's something he was sitting in there repeating to himself for five minutes before he came out here and told them—and maybe he was. Awww, my heart. I absolutely don't ship Clark/Lois, but Clark being sad always gets me. This is super great and I'm very excited for how it continues, Clark getting to know Bruce and Batman separately or however that goes. You're the best. <3
