Reign of the Supermen Page #4

---

TV screens like a clown.

Don't you mean clone?

Thanks for

the heads-up, by the way.

Oh, please.

So you were genetically engineered.

Who isn't?

Little DNA from here, some from there.

Bam! You're born.

Mazel tov!

The only difference between

you and a biological child

is that I've invested

a hell of a lot more capital

to bring you to the party.

So, we are going to start again.

It's a relaunch.

Superman 2.0.1.

That's awful,

but we'll let marketing

sort it all out.

What do you want me to do?

You've had your fun, Superboy,

but now it's time

to act like a man.

I got you a gig.

They just passed

Burnett Boulevard.

Coming up on Rodeo.

I think they say Ro-day-o.

They're wrong.

Lantern?

Yeah, I say Ro-day-o.

- Report!

- Oh!

Smooth sailing up here. Flash?

- I just wanna ask.

- Ah, here it comes.

I'm just saying.

Are we presidential bodyguards,

or are we the Justice League?

Today, we're bodyguards.

And you don't think there's

other stuff we should be doing?

The Titans have it covered.

The teen Titans.

Oh, yeah!

I feel good about that.

Chillax, Zippy.

The Titans are cool.

Zippy?

Wait. Did he just say "Chillax"?

Young man,

stay off this frequency.

It's for League members only.

No, it's for the

President's protective detail.

As the new head

of LexCorp global security,

I qualify.

I have the shot.

I say take it.

That's enough.

We have a job to do.

Okay. Can we speed this up,

because if I'm not home by

dinner, Iris is gonna kill me.

Someone should go say hi.

I'm a little busy right now.

I don't really know him. Vic?

Oh, so you think

all cyborgs know each other?

Yes. But, in my defense,

I'm horribly insensitive.

Lex is so wrong.

You guys are funky fresh.

Donovan's been letting you watch

those 90s sitcoms again, I see.

Lex?

I'm in your other ear.

Reminding you to stay alert.

President Dale

has her eye on you.

Keep her safe.

By the end of the week, with a

little political maneuvering,

she'll be

publicly recognizing you

as the one true Superman.

Yesterday, my husband said,

"Joan, why do you

have to do this?"

And I said,

"Because I stand with the Justice

League as they have stood with us."

Really, I'm trilled to be here.

To help dedicate

the Justice League's

new Watchtower.

A proud...

Madam President...

I've got you, ma'am.

I've got her, everyone!

Uh, Lois?

Everybody clear out!

Kid, if I find out LexCorp had

anything to do with this...

Look, Mr. Roboto,

we got bigger problems.

The boy's right.

Let's go.

Watch your step.

Come on. No rush.

Uh, a little rush, actually.

Hey, metal head!

You wanna lend a hand?

Superman?
