Justice League: Gods and Monsters Page #5

I'm reconsidering, unless

you'd rather not be the first.

Like hell! Let's go.

I'll give you a lift.

Thanks, but I'll drive.

The generators are Kryptonian-designed.

They not only power the building,

but provide a shield

that makes it virtually impenetrable.

My God, even the rumors

about this place don't do it justice.

Here in the center of the tower

is the center of my life.

- The ship which brought me to Earth.

- The government used to have this.

It was never theirs to keep.

I asked for it back, they acquiesced.

- I'll bet they did.

- These are the ship's computer files.

What little we know about Krypton,

we know from them.

Unfortunately, the files were heavily

damaged during the ship's trek to Earth.

The government hasn't been able

to recover much and neither have I.

That's why I enlisted

Professor Stone's help,

to see if he could retrieve

the information.

Right now, all we have

are the last moments on Krypton.

- He looks like you.

- He's my biological father.

There's a DNA record. From his uniform,

we think he was a high-ranking official,

undoubtedly brilliant.

He must have known the end was coming.

I'd like to think if more people

had listened to him,

he could have been the planet's savior.

Is that how you see your role?

To save us? Or to rule us?

I thought we were getting

beyond the sarcasm.

Come on, Superman,

we both know what's going on here.

This is straight up spin control!

Certain police reports are coming out that

are gonna make people wonder about you.

So here I am getting the full court press

on the man of steel's human side,

if that's not an oxymoron.

I wanted to reveal my world

to you, Ms. Lane.

Really?

Wasn't Luthor the one who extracted

this footage? He never seemed impressed.

Luthor was a frustrated elitist

whose influence was waning.

I come from a simple people, Ms. Lane.

I was raised by a migrant couple.

I've seen the harshness of life.

If I deliver justice with a heavy hand,

it's because I've been on the receiving end.

But I'm here when my country needs me.

And where's Lex Luthor?

Gone! Absent!

Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt, but there's a call.

- You actually brought her.

- What a b*tch.

Needless to say, this is

a conversation we never had,

but I want you to know that forensics

is further implicating the Justice League

- in these murders.

- What forensics exactly?

It's serious enough

that I'm making this call.

It might behoove you if the League

volunteered on their own

to speak to the authorities.

I am speaking to the authorities.

I am speaking to you!

Don't get heated with me, Superman!

I'm only trying to lessen the pressure.

If things get difficult,
