Summary:Clark’s eyes narrowed. He studied the look on Luthor’s face. There was a joke here, but he didn’t know the punchline. Clark closed his eyes again. A wave of nausea suddenly gripped his stomach. His knees grew weak as another wave passed over him. Nausea? Was he getting a bug? Impossible. He didn’t get sick. Ever.
A/N: One of the biggest issues I had with Batman v. Superman was the dynamic between Superman/Clark and Batman/Bruce Wayne. Although the two are highly competitive, I never sensed any hate or animosity between them in the comics or in the animated universe. In fact, in Rebirth, it is explicitly stated that Bruce Wayne is Superman's best friend. While I understand that it took years of partnership to establish this friendship, I feel like Batman v. Superman made their mashup in Justice League implausible. I wanted to establish a mutual respect between Clark and Bruce in this chapter. Although Clark has his reservations, there is no hostility between them.

A few additional notes about Batman: This is not the Batman from BvS or Justice League. I'm not a fan of Batfleck. This Batman would be closer to Bale's Batman in the Nolan Trilogy but with much better detective skills. This would put him as only a few years older than Clark. Because he is not that older battle scared Batman, he does not have the same story arch as the Batman in BvS or JL. This change in characterization also changes his dynamic with Clark and Lex Luthor.

Talia Al Guhl- As previously mentioned, Talia is at a point in her life where she has become disenchanted with her father and goes by the name Talia Head. Bruce is aware of her real name and the two are in a relationship. Damien Wayne has not been born yet.

Metropolis- As established in many of the comics, Metropolis and Gotham are separated by a harbor. New Tory is like Manhattan. Glenmorgan Square is the Metropolis equivalent of Time Square. Suicide Slum is the bad part of New Troy.
