“那个世界有人爱他吗？”

“当然，不然我不会回来。”

“那就太好了。”

卡尔落下话语，红披风柔柔落在脚边。

“接下来你怎么办？”

“怎么办？不，我什么也不会做。回到哥谭，继续做我的蝙蝠侠和花花公子就可以了。”

“有什么我需要帮你的吗？”

“有。”

“什么？”

“当我死后——别这样看我，卡尔，你知道每个人都是会死的。这是我唯一一个需要你帮忙的事情，其他任何人都无法完成，他们的记忆里已经没有克拉克的痕迹……”

“你说吧，布鲁斯，无论如何我会帮你的。”

“当我死后，请把我的骨灰埋在堪萨斯，埋在克拉克的身旁。我知道你曾和拉娜·朗将克拉克的骨灰偷出来埋回他父母的身边，这一次，请你答应我，将我的骨灰埋在他的身旁。不必有墓碑，就让我和克拉克相守在地底。”

“……什么都瞒不过你，是吗，布鲁斯？”

布鲁斯浅笑一声。

卡尔点头。

“好的，布鲁斯，好的。我答应你。”

“嗯……谢谢。”

“受宠若惊。”

“不必谦虚。”

卡尔弯弯眼睛：“那么……”

布鲁斯轻声道：“再见。”

卡尔说：“再见。”

蝙蝠侠披风摇摇，缓缓消失在漫漫风雪中。

卡尔回头，与堡垒中静然伫立的水晶雕像互相凝视。那是他手建的属于这个世界的超人的雕像。无论克拉克曾在这个世界受过何等批判与伤害，他无疑都曾凭一己之力托举过这个地球。

相信在另一个世界，他依然如此。

卡尔浅笑一声，缓缓起飞，降落至大都会以北三百英里的史密斯农场。

乔纳森推开窗户，冲从天而降的超人喊道：“爸爸！”

克拉克露出微笑，飞入窗中。

“饿了吗？”

乔纳森摸着肚子：“好饿。”

“走，下楼来，我给你做饭。”

“好～”

人影接踵而逝。

灯光骤灭。

乔纳森隔着门缝小心翼翼地确认自己藏在被窝里的蝙蝠镖和父亲的画像没有露出一点痕迹。

抹干眼眶，他奔下楼梯。

“爸爸！我要吃奶油蘑菇汤！”

“没问题。”

Do not feel sadness for n52 Batman and want him have an other happiness life.

Although at the end of the story the n52 batman cannot be with the n52 superman, but their minds are connected. What separates them is death. In the end, n52 Batman asked to bury his ashes near the n52 Superman, so even if he was given a new super, would he accept？

He is using his life to love his Superman. Spend billions of light years to across the Phantom Zone just want to confirm n52 Superman is good at the new world. There is no second share of this love.

A few days ago I saw a Japanese program "Can I Come Home With You", in which the oldman's wife died of cancer when they’re young. Since then he has never married and has composed songs for his wife for decades. He doesn't drink alcohol often, but he commemorates his wife's death day each year, drinks a small sip in the izakaya, and then goes home on the white snow. Even after so many years, talking about the death of his wife before the show still couldn't help but wet red eyes. His wife asked him before she died: "Why am I alive？" He said, "Can I say that you came to this world just to meet me？"

N52 Batman didn't feel lonely in the end. He already knew in his heart that he and his Clark knew each other and loved each other more than themselves. Nobody can understand, nobody can replace in their life. It's just that the n52 Superman has already made another decision before understanding this.

I’m sorry for this miss. But that is the ending of them.

Thanks.

(See the end of the Chapter for notes.)

莱克斯·卢瑟再次被捕了，并且在被捕的当时面对媒体承认了自己所做的一切肮脏事。

但这不是个好消息，对这个世界的人来说，这是一枚炸弹。

“好人”莱克斯·卢瑟的光辉形象倒地，舆论挟裹着信任危机的雪球滚滚而来。庭审备受瞩目，而让人震惊的是，莱克斯·卢瑟再次于庭上翻供了。

“这个世界正在被人类未知的力量入侵！他们施展的拳脚将会威胁到地球上每个人的生活！”他大放厥词，“你们可以不相信我！但很快你们就会知晓……如果人类不进化，将会失去自主权！”

“你在否认非法实验吗？”
