Chapter 16

Planning

Wayne Enterprises (Present)

Bruce had formed a meeting at his main building The Wayne Enterprises Building. The meeting included Alfred Pennyworth, Diana Prince, and Lucius Fox. "I have formed this meeting between the four of us because there is a new threat in the way of is protecting Gotham. His name is Superman."

"How is Superman a threat?" Lucius asked.

"He and Lois Lane were at the party to investigate if I was Batman." Bruce said.

"I didn't see blue with a red cape." Alfred stated.

"Clark Kent is Superman, I scanned his fingerprint with Superman's and they match," Bruce said, "I need some powerful armor to beat Superman."

"Bruce unfortunately we don't have any Kryptonian armor, it's all belongs Lexcorp. And the metal that made Kryptonian Armor is the strongest metal known to man." Lucius said.

"So why don't you just steal it?" Diana asked.

"Because if I steal from Lexcorp, as Batman I'll have a worse reputation than I have already," Bruce said, "Lucius, why don't we just make Kryptonian armor from the Kryptonian supplies we have already?"

"We can't break up the Kryptonian supplies, they're won't break apart like the armor." Lucius said, "Why don't you just ask Luthor for some armor?"

"It'll be too suspicious. If we ask Luthor why we want Kryptonian armor, he'll wonder why," Diana said.

"So, basically right now the plan is to steal the armor for Luthor as Batman," Bruce asked.

"Yeah, I don't think your reputation matters right now, after all the Gotham citizens are scared of you no doubt," Lucius said.

"Tomorrow night Diana and I will break into Lexcorp HQ and steal armor but that's it," Bruce said.

"Ok," Lucius said.

"Wait why do I have to come?" Diana asked.

"I need your help to fight off Superman if he comes." Bruce said.

"Ok." Diana said, but she was hesitant about the plan. If Superman showed up she was worried she wouldn't be able to hold him off, after all he did throw her into a brick wall last time they met.

"Bruce, may I have a word with you?" Alfred said. Alfred brought Bruce into another room. "Why are you doing this Bruce? You know you can't beat him. It's suicide."

"He's the one who brought the war to us. I see it now. I should've encountered him a long time ago. Count the dead, it's thousands. What's next millions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race. If there's even a one percent chance he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty." Bruce said to Alfred. "If you're not with me leave until this all boils down but I don't think you'll do that."
