Batman has done an unexpected act with Superman and he has his reasons. Between the Batfamily connections and his relationship with Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne’s more emotional side has become a focus of interest for DC comics.
For example, Nightwing called Batman “dad” and we even saw Batman enjoy a snowfight with all of his foster children. It seems that Bruce Wayne has transformed, for some time now, a father figure for the entire Batfamily. A rare character in the Dark Knight mythology.
The differences between Batman and Superman
But what does all this have to do with the Man of Steel? Batman y Superman they have always had a very special relationship in DC comics. However, they have also had their pluses and minuses. After all, they have very different ways of understanding justice, and, above all, of applying it.
Bruce Wayne is a billionaire who lives in a mansion and represents revenge and darkness; Clark Kent, a Kansas farmer’s dream symbolizing truth and justice. In short, they are two polar opposites who have come to understand and appreciate each otherbut they can also collide at any time.
The curious thing about all this is that their relationship has been getting closer for the past few months, especially thanks to the Batman. During issue #1 of Superman: Lost, the play by Christopher Priest and Carlo Pagulayan, Batman has once again shown that he can be a kind and kind man… when he puts it on.
What has happened between the two great DC heroes
In this first installment of Superman: Lost, Batman has made a bad decision. However, he has also made the only logical decision. All this has happened when an alien ship has threatened to turn the Earth into a black hole.
So far, everything is correct, since both Batman and Superman are very clear about what they should do. Therefore, they decide that the only possible solution is for the Last Son of Krypton to try to contain the explosion of the alien ship that endangers the future of humanity.
Although he succeeds, Superman… Disappears! This obviously causes the Justice League to lose their temper and fear the worst. Therefore, they make the decision to travel around the world and the entire universe with the purpose of finding him and bringing him back home.
The surprising thing is that it was not necessary to look for him, because he has already returned. In fact, Superman himself reveals that 20 years have passed since the last time. All this is discovered because Batman, instead of losing his temper, the first thing he does is go visit Lois Lane. He wants to know how she is emotionally after what happened.
It is there where you find Superman con Lois Lane. And it is there where we readers find, astonished, that instead of going crazy looking for his missing friend, Batman has decided to visit Lois to show her support after the tragedy.
