1. Encoded by Deceit @ YIFY Torrents.Copy !req
2. Just look at him.Copy !req
3. So sleek, so powerful...Copy !req
4. so beautiful.Copy !req
5. Like some great golden god
made flesh.Copy !req
6. Of course, any sensible god
would demand absolute obedience...Copy !req
7. in return for his favor.Copy !req
8. But, no, our Man of Steel
protects us and keeps us...Copy !req
9. with no strings attached.Copy !req
10. And the people, hmm...Copy !req
11. they practically worship him anyway.Copy !req
12. Enjoy your reign
while you may, Superman.Copy !req
13. For as surely as night follows day...Copy !req
14. there comes a time
when even gods must die.Copy !req
15. I don't care how many weeks
you spent on that story, Lane.Copy !req
16. The Daily Planet is not about
to attack a charity organization.Copy !req
17. You know Lex Luthor couldn't care less
about the homeless, chief.Copy !req
18. It's a front to siphon money
back to LexCorp...Copy !req
19. so he can fund the manufacture
of high-tech arms...Copy !req
20. to sell on the black market.Copy !req
21. Allegedly.Copy !req
22. Look, how many exposés do I have to write
before Metropolis wakes up...Copy !req
23. and sees through
Luthor's philanthropy shtick?Copy !req
24. As many as it takes.Copy !req
25. But it helps to have a smoking gun.Copy !req
26. You sure you're not
on LexCorp's payroll, chief?Copy !req
27. You've been mighty soft
on the prince of darkness lately.Copy !req
28. Excuse me for not wanting
to be sued for libel, again.Copy !req
29. Well, LexCorp's going down...Copy !req
30. whether it's me
or Superman who does it.Copy !req
31. If it's Superman, that makes it news,
and I'll be happy to print it.Copy !req
32. Kent, shouldn't you be
on your way to the airport?Copy !req
33. I always make my flight, chief.
Just packing the last of my things.Copy !req
34. Well, don't forget to write.Copy !req
35. Sure thing, Perry.Copy !req
36. Articles, Kent, articles.
That's what foreign correspondents do.Copy !req
37. Perry's really broken up
about you leaving.Copy !req
38. Ah, he'll miss me
when I'm gone, Jimmy.Copy !req
39. Well, I'm off to Afghanistan, Lois.Copy !req
40. Happy trails, Smallville.Copy !req
41. Guess I'll be seeing you.Copy !req
42. Don't step on any landmines.Copy !req
43. Two miles below Earth's surface.Copy !req
44. Even Superman can't see us here.Copy !req
45. Luthor's sure to be happy about that.Copy !req
46. - Heat's fricking unbearable.
- Yeah, forget Luthor and his happiness.Copy !req
47. "I shall invent a new energy source...Copy !req
48. by harnessing radiation
emitted from the Earth's core."Copy !req
49. And rake in billions while we drown
in our own sweat.Copy !req
50. Don't be surprised if he asks us
to dig straight to hell.Copy !req
51. We're halfway there already.Copy !req
52. "Insert a diode catheter
into Satan's rectum...Copy !req
53. run a feed back to LexCorp,
and crank up the juice."Copy !req
54. "Keep Metropolis' power grids
burning bright until the end of time."Copy !req
55. Whoa! Dr. Murphy.Copy !req
56. - What is it?
- I'm no scientist.Copy !req
57. You tell me.Copy !req
58. Lex.Copy !req
59. Oh.Copy !req
60. Get this to Biochem, hand-carry only.
Keep it off the interlink.Copy !req
61. I know the drill, Lex.
What is it, the cure for cancer?Copy !req
62. Muscular dystrophy.Copy !req
63. I can cure every known case
with a simple inoculation.Copy !req
64. Have Swan find a way
to slow it to a crawl...Copy !req
65. turn it into
a lifetime treatment program.Copy !req
66. Right now, it's a mere
$300-billion windfall.Copy !req
67. And you need it
to be a perennial, got it.Copy !req
68. But Swan's working the AIDS thing.Copy !req
69. Oh, right.
What about Schaffenberger?Copy !req
70. - Bird flu.
- Mm.Copy !req
71. Guess Jerry's kids
will have to wait their turn.Copy !req
72. Now, Mercy,
what have you got for me?Copy !req
73. Project Applecore.
They've hit the mother lode.Copy !req
74. Have you cured cancer yet, Kal-El?Copy !req
75. I can design a machine
that receives faint transmissions...Copy !req
76. from the distant future,
sculpt a miniature sun...Copy !req
77. from dwarf-star matter...Copy !req
78. but I can't find a way to keep
human cells from metastasizing.Copy !req
79. I wish I could help humankind by doing
more than just being its resident strongman.Copy !req
80. One thing I've learned since arriving
in Metropolis is that those in power...Copy !req
81. don't always have
the people's interests at heart.Copy !req
82. As much as I love dishing
on evil bald-headed freaks...Copy !req
83. I thought we came here
to get away from it all.Copy !req
84. You wouldn't have a blow-dryer?Copy !req
85. We'll need to get you
a larger travel bag, Lois.Copy !req
86. I wouldn't need so many warm baths
if our weekend getaway was Palm Springs.Copy !req
87. The Antarctic camouflages Kryptonian
crystal-tech far better than cacti.Copy !req
88. But next time you catch a chill,
give a holler, I'll warm you.Copy !req
89. You wouldn't use your heat vision
on me, would you, Superman?Copy !req
90. - No, just the x-ray.
- You're bad.Copy !req
91. Um, maybe we could find
a robot-free zone?Copy !req
92. That's it, Mr. Luthor.Copy !req
93. - Definitely a spacecraft.
- Of alien origin.Copy !req
94. Vintage?Copy !req
95. - We're deep.
- Before Christ deep.Copy !req
96. That's a conservative estimate.Copy !req
97. Last time aliens fell to Earth,
we got Superman.Copy !req
98. This time, whatever's
in that tin can will belong to me...Copy !req
99. lock, stock and barrel.Copy !req
100. What happened?Copy !req
101. We have a puncture.Copy !req
102. How are we supposed
to understand him?Copy !req
103. It's a warning.Copy !req
104. Aah!
Clear out! Clear out!Copy !req
105. Use the laser! The laser!Copy !req
106. If an alien race possessed
the technology to trap that thing...Copy !req
107. and use Earth as their personal toilet,
they did so for one reason.Copy !req
108. They couldn't kill it.Copy !req
109. You know, I've been thinking...Copy !req
110. - Hmm?
- About Clark.Copy !req
111. Kent? While you're snuggling
with me?Copy !req
112. I think I'm jealous.Copy !req
113. Smallville's going on assignment
in a dangerous part of the world.Copy !req
114. They say I'm brave,
but I'm bulletproof.Copy !req
115. Ordinary men and women
who put their lives on the line...Copy !req
116. they're the real heroes.Copy !req
117. I just find it interesting that
the more intimate you and I become...Copy !req
118. the more distant
Clark becomes, literally.Copy !req
119. Superman, I wanna know everything
there is to know about you...Copy !req
120. like your real name.Copy !req
121. Hmm. It's Kal-El.Copy !req
122. Your other real name.Copy !req
123. Biscuit.Copy !req
124. Biscuit.Copy !req
125. Mother...Copy !req
126. Aaarggh!Copy !req
127. That monster's trail of destruction will lead
the authorities right to my doorstep.Copy !req
128. Relax, Lex. Applecore may have been illegal,
but it was completely under the radar.Copy !req
129. See that it stays that way.
Scorch Earth if you have to.Copy !req
130. LexCorp was never there.Copy !req
131. Look, I know who you are.
Why can't you just tell me?Copy !req
132. Lois, I care about you
more than anyone else on Earth.Copy !req
133. To reveal my secret identity
would compromise your safety.Copy !req
134. Please. My safety was compromised
the moment I met you.Copy !req
135. How many times
have you had to rescue me?Copy !req
136. Rhetorical.Copy !req
137. I haven't told you my identity for the same
reason we haven't gone public...Copy !req
138. with our relationship,
why we come here to be alone.Copy !req
139. Well, try reading a gossip column.Copy !req
140. Practically all of Metropolis
thinks we're dating anyway.Copy !req
141. You're clinging to keep one last part
of you separate from us...Copy !req
142. and the only reason I can fathom
is that for an alien...Copy !req
143. you've developed a very human,
very male fear of commitment.Copy !req
144. We've been together for six months.Copy !req
145. It'd be nice if I could start calling you
something other than Superman.Copy !req
146. He also goes by Kal-El.
- Shut up.Copy !req
147. Well, that was some first fight.Copy !req
148. Be nice if it was our last.Copy !req
149. Maybe you're right. Maybe it is time
you got to know the real me.Copy !req
150. Kal-El.Copy !req
151. - This isn't a good time.
You are needed in Metropolis.Copy !req
152. It is a matter of terrific urgency.Copy !req
153. I have isolated a match
via interstellar records...Copy !req
154. from your father's archives.Copy !req
155. The subject in question
was biologically engineered...Copy !req
156. to be the ultimate soldier.Copy !req
157. Precise, clinical, unstoppable.Copy !req
158. But its creators came to realize...Copy !req
159. that it could not distinguish
between friend and foe.Copy !req
160. Thus, this doomsday machine
lives to extinguish any and all life forms...Copy !req
161. because it must.Copy !req
162. We need to clear this area.Copy !req
163. Fire!Copy !req
164. You're dropping me off here?Copy !req
165. Doomsday's at Hob's End
on the East Side.Copy !req
166. Exactly.Copy !req
167. Jimmy, meet me on the roof,
and don't forget your camera.Copy !req
168. Uh, Lois, shouldn't we wait
for a pilot?Copy !req
169. I'm an Air Force brat, remember?Copy !req
170. I was flying these things
when you were still in training pants.Copy !req
171. Now, hang on.Copy !req
172. Aah!Copy !req
173. There.Copy !req
174. Jimmy, camera on the action.Copy !req
175. Oh, man, he can jump!Copy !req
176. Aah!Copy !req
177. Thanks, Superman.Copy !req
178. Get out of here. Now.Copy !req
179. Superman, don't—Copy !req
180. It's why I'm here.Copy !req
181. I've never seen Superman
take such a pounding.Copy !req
182. Not that he can't dish it.Copy !req
183. For those just joining us,
Metropolis is the scene...Copy !req
184. of widespread destruction
this morning...Copy !req
185. as Superman attempts to overpower
a creature responsible...Copy !req
186. for a string of grisly murders.Copy !req
187. But as of right now, it's uncertain
which way the tide will turn.Copy !req
188. Lois, do you think Superman's o—?Copy !req
189. Camera on the action, Jimmy.Copy !req
190. Superman.Copy !req
191. Is everyone...?Copy !req
192. You did it, Superman.
We're safe, all of us.Copy !req
193. Good. That's...Copy !req
194. That's all that matters.Copy !req
195. Clark.Copy !req
196. Superman died as he lived...Copy !req
197. defending Metropolis.Copy !req
198. He may have come
from another world...Copy !req
199. but he will always belong to ours.Copy !req
200. James Olsen?Copy !req
201. Your photos of the tragedy were...Copy !req
202. Well, words fail.Copy !req
203. It must have been hard for you,
being Superman's pal, I mean.Copy !req
204. If you ever need to talk.Copy !req
205. What is he doing here?Copy !req
206. I wouldn't be surprised
if he's somehow responsible.Copy !req
207. Luthor doesn't matter right now.Copy !req
208. Come on, Lois.Copy !req
209. Today, Superman's funeral was viewed...Copy !req
210. by hundreds of millions worldwide.Copy !req
211. Not since President Kennedy died
has our nation so collectively mourned.Copy !req
212. Yet it is the people of Metropolis
who are feeling the loss most...Copy !req
213. as we knew him best.Copy !req
214. So let us take a brief moment
to celebrate his time with us.Copy !req
215. Last year for Halloween,
I dressed like Superman.Copy !req
216. Now I'm gonna do it every year
for the rest of my life.Copy !req
217. I was installing a satellite dish
when I slipped off the roof, three stories.Copy !req
218. I should have been a goner.
But out of nowhere...Copy !req
219. everyone's guardian angel
was suddenly mine too.Copy !req
220. Not a word from Kent.Copy !req
221. He hasn't called, hasn't e-mailed.Copy !req
222. Clark isn't coming back.Copy !req
223. It's Afghanistan, chief.
People die there every day.Copy !req
224. Look, Lane, Kent's fine.
Just lost in the trenches.Copy !req
225. You know how he disappears
into his work.Copy !req
226. What are you doing here anyway?
I told you to take time off.Copy !req
227. And do what?
I'm trying to keep myself occupied.Copy !req
228. Well, occupy yourself
with friends or family.Copy !req
229. You must have someone
you can talk to.Copy !req
230. - Yes?
- Mrs. Kent?Copy !req
231. I'm Lois Lane.Copy !req
232. - From the Daily Pl—
- I know who you are, Miss Lane.Copy !req
233. My son talks about you quite often.Copy !req
234. He's the reason I've come to see you.Copy !req
235. Has there been word
from Afghanistan?Copy !req
236. I've been—
Well, I have been so worried.Copy !req
237. Mrs. Kent...Copy !req
238. you know as well as I do
that your son...Copy !req
239. died in Metropolis last week.Copy !req
240. - Look, I'm not here as a reporter. I—
- Then why are you here, Miss Lane?Copy !req
241. I don't know exactly.Copy !req
242. Maybe it's just...Copy !req
243. I don't know if he told you,
but we had been seeing each other...Copy !req
244. for the past few months,
romantically, I mean.Copy !req
245. And I know the rest
of the world adored him...Copy !req
246. and misses him
now that he's gone...Copy !req
247. but no one else
on this whole stupid planet...Copy !req
248. can know what it felt like
to really love him, to be loved by him...Copy !req
249. or how it feels now...Copy !req
250. every minute of every day,
like I'm broken.Copy !req
251. Like I'm the one
that freaking monster pounded on.Copy !req
252. You know, I was just about
to put on a fresh pot of coffee.Copy !req
253. You look like
you could use a cup.Copy !req
254. God, yes. Thank you.Copy !req
255. As feared...Copy !req
256. crime rates have soared
in the past weeks.Copy !req
257. Criminals have become more daring...Copy !req
258. and Metropolis P.D. remains
understaffed and underfunded.Copy !req
259. On the bright side...Copy !req
260. technologies mogul
and philanthropist Lex Luthor...Copy !req
261. contributed $10 million
to the police department earlier today.Copy !req
262. But ultimately, Metropolis
is faced with a stark reality...Copy !req
263. that no police force,
no matter how well-equipped...Copy !req
264. will ever be as omnipresent
as one man.Copy !req
265. You've made the right decision, James.Copy !req
266. We at the National Voyeur feel
there's enough misery in the world today.Copy !req
267. Why rub people's noses in it?Copy !req
268. We're in the business
of entertainment, Mr. Swank.Copy !req
269. And making money, James.Copy !req
270. Please, call me Jimmy.Copy !req
271. Jimmy gave notice?Copy !req
272. What notice? Little ingrate up and left.
Working for that tabloid rag.Copy !req
273. But why would he—?Copy !req
274. Look, chief, this has been hard
on all of us, Jimmy included.Copy !req
275. I'm sure this is just his way
of trying to, you know, heal.Copy !req
276. Don't sugarcoat it, Lane.
Olsen's weak.Copy !req
277. He isn't man enough
to keep a grip on his ideals.Copy !req
278. Easy enough to lose sight of, I suppose,
in a world without Superman.Copy !req
279. Which reminds me, you rode shotgun
with Metro P.D. on that sleeper-cell raid.Copy !req
280. Kind of risky, don't you think?Copy !req
281. No more than usual, chief.
Why should things be any different?Copy !req
282. Because he isn't here to pull your ass
out of the fire anymore, that's why.Copy !req
283. Be careful, Lane.Copy !req
284. Taken before his time.Copy !req
285. So completely...Copy !req
286. absurdly random.Copy !req
287. Come on, Lex. I figured
you'd be stoked he's finally gone.Copy !req
288. Isn't this what you wanted?Copy !req
289. I wanted a winning strategy.Copy !req
290. Instead, I've been cheated of the victory
I've planned for years...Copy !req
291. by an intergalactic soccer hooligan.Copy !req
292. Your scientists found the hooligan.Copy !req
293. Speaking of which...Copy !req
294. you did see to it that little mess
was cleaned up?Copy !req
295. LexCorp was never there.Copy !req
296. And neither were you.Copy !req
297. Toyman doesn't feel like sharing.Copy !req
298. The goodies are mine, mine, mine.Copy !req
299. All you action figures
and your accessories better back off...Copy !req
300. or the kiddies are coming down
the hard way, ker-splat!Copy !req
301. Are you suicidal?Copy !req
302. We're supposed to report news,
not make it.Copy !req
303. Forget the news.
Those kids are gonna die.Copy !req
304. That's it, ta-ta.
We'll play again another day.Copy !req
305. It's okay.Copy !req
306. Come on.Copy !req
307. It's safe now.Copy !req
308. It's okay.Copy !req
309. Wha—?Copy !req
310. My play dates.Copy !req
311. Fun time's over!Copy !req
312. School's out forever!Copy !req
313. Your stop. Be right back.Copy !req
314. Superman's back?Copy !req
315. You? But you're—Copy !req
316. Taking you in, Toyman.Copy !req
317. Giddyup!Copy !req
318. Aah!Copy !req
319. Pfft. Like we really needed him
to bust up a mechanical spider, right?Copy !req
320. Lame.Copy !req
321. Um, thank you, Superman.Copy !req
322. It's why I'm here.Copy !req
323. It's really me, Lois.Copy !req
324. I'm back.Copy !req
325. I can see that, feel that.Copy !req
326. But how?Copy !req
327. I awoke in darkness.Copy !req
328. The last thing I remember
before that is...Copy !req
329. You're here, unless I'm dreaming.Copy !req
330. That's all that matters.Copy !req
331. Oh, you missed it.Copy !req
332. Here you go.Copy !req
333. Oh... Mm.Copy !req
334. You are glad to see me?Copy !req
335. Of course, Lois. It's just...Copy !req
336. I may need time to re-acclimate.Copy !req
337. I did just come back
from the grave, you know.Copy !req
338. Of course.Copy !req
339. So see you soon?Copy !req
340. Yeah. Soon.Copy !req
341. We will soon commence
renovation of Superman Memorial Park...Copy !req
342. to celebrate
the occasion of his return.Copy !req
343. There's work to be done.Copy !req
344. But I will make the streets
of Metropolis safe again.Copy !req
345. It's a miracle.Copy !req
346. A miracle.Copy !req
347. Can you believe Superman's back?Copy !req
348. He'll whip this city back to shape.
I thought Superman wasn't dead.Copy !req
349. Luthor.Copy !req
350. Over here, Superman.Copy !req
351. Warm.Copy !req
352. Warmer.Copy !req
353. If you're wondering why you can't
see through these walls, Superman...Copy !req
354. they're lined with lead.Copy !req
355. My rumpus room also comes equipped
with red solar lamps...Copy !req
356. and, of course, kryptonite.Copy !req
357. Red and green,
the colors of Christmas.Copy !req
358. And you are on the naughty list!Copy !req
359. Why did you leave me?Copy !req
360. Why?Copy !req
361. We had so much unfinished business.Copy !req
362. Who's your daddy?Copy !req
363. By the way, you're doing a fine job
of convincing the world you're Superman.Copy !req
364. Keep up the good work.Copy !req
365. I've done it, Superman.Copy !req
366. Achieved the unimaginable.Copy !req
367. Sculpted your clone with a strand
of DNA from a fleck of blood...Copy !req
368. swabbed from the scene
of your epic final battle.Copy !req
369. Your doppelgänger possesses
all of your speed, strength, morality even.Copy !req
370. But not your mind.Copy !req
371. Only knows what
I've programmed him to know...Copy !req
372. since you took your secrets
to the proverbial grave.Copy !req
373. But why should I complain?Copy !req
374. My super-powered sycophant
bows to my every whim.Copy !req
375. Even tunneled all the way to Memorial Park
to pluck you from your resting place.Copy !req
376. A bit ghoulish, I know,
but necessary to stage your coming out.Copy !req
377. I resented being cheated
out of orchestrating your destruction...Copy !req
378. but I'm over it.Copy !req
379. In fact, this whole miserable experience
has only made me stronger.Copy !req
380. Put me back in touch with my roots.Copy !req
381. So now that you no longer stand
in the way of my plans, Superman...Copy !req
382. you shall help me to achieve them.Copy !req
383. Lane. Martha, hi.Copy !req
384. Clark still hasn't visited.
Hasn't even phoned.Copy !req
385. He— He's a little preoccupied
here in Bigville.Copy !req
386. You know, making up for lost time.Copy !req
387. Well, you see him, don't you?Copy !req
388. Not as much as I'd like.Copy !req
389. So this is what a potential
Pulitzer Prize winner does for a second act?Copy !req
390. Lois, hey.Copy !req
391. Don't think they'll let you past
the ropes wearing that.Copy !req
392. Ow, ow, ow!Copy !req
393. I'm not here to go clubbing, Jimmy.
I'm here to talk.Copy !req
394. Lois, I'm working here.Copy !req
395. Jimmy, look at you.Copy !req
396. Italian silk.Copy !req
397. You're underpaid at the Planet,
you know.Copy !req
398. I meant I'm not sure
I like what you think you've become.Copy !req
399. Ha-ha, speaking of changes,
how about the big S, huh?Copy !req
400. Ever consider the big S
may not be what he seems?Copy !req
401. He wears red and blue, flies...Copy !req
402. crime rate's plummeted
since he's risen from the grave.Copy !req
403. Gosh, you think he's a zombie?Copy !req
404. I'm not sure what he is.Copy !req
405. Call it reporter's nose
or woman's intuition, but—Copy !req
406. Whoa, you're not serious?Copy !req
407. Why wouldn't you think
he's really Superman?Copy !req
408. Okay, weird.
But it doesn't mean he's—Copy !req
409. - I need to know the truth.
- And you could use my help.Copy !req
410. Come on, Jimmy,
for old times' sake?Copy !req
411. I've moved on, Lois.
I like my life the way it is now.Copy !req
412. I like it just fine.Copy !req
413. And how was your day, Superman?Copy !req
414. Save any lives?Copy !req
415. A 19-second blackout at 3:47 a.m.Copy !req
416. Had to be an EMP.Copy !req
417. But you didn't get up
and walk away, Superman.Copy !req
418. Where the hell are you?Copy !req
419. Winslow P. Schott, a.k.a. Toyman...Copy !req
420. escaped from prison
early this morning...Copy !req
421. and proceeded to hold several children
hostage at a daycare center.Copy !req
422. After a prolonged standoff...Copy !req
423. the fugitive was apprehended
by police just moments ago.Copy !req
424. But though Toyman is now safely
in police custody...Copy !req
425. there is a tragic element
to the scene.Copy !req
426. Minutes before his capture,
Toyman took the life of young Katy Alpert.Copy !req
427. She was only 4 years old.Copy !req
428. I'm alive?Copy !req
429. It would seem that on this world...Copy !req
430. the laws of human death
do not apply to you, Kal-El.Copy !req
431. I only came to realize it 17 days
after your apparent demise...Copy !req
432. when I was alerted to a single pulse
of your biorhythmic signature.Copy !req
433. So my vitals slowed to a crawl...Copy !req
434. To better enable you to heal.Copy !req
435. I had to await a second pulse,
17 days later, in order to find you...Copy !req
436. once I discovered
your body had been relocated.Copy !req
437. Relocated?Copy !req
438. To LexCorp.Copy !req
439. It would appear
that Lex Luthor has cloned you.Copy !req
440. I need to get back to Metropolis.Copy !req
441. Once you have regained your strength.Copy !req
442. I am uncertain
of your double's agenda...Copy !req
443. but for now, he seems to be
protecting Metropolis.Copy !req
444. Pardon me, officers.
I need a moment with your prisoner.Copy !req
445. What? Why, you can't—Copy !req
446. Uh, is that allowed?Copy !req
447. I have rights.Copy !req
448. I have nothing to say to you.Copy !req
449. How about goodbye?Copy !req
450. Did he just drop him?Copy !req
451. Lane. He did what?Copy !req
452. Excuse me, coming through.
Move it!Copy !req
453. Over here. Over here, Superman.Copy !req
454. Superman, what made you do it?Copy !req
455. Toyman would have killed again.
An example needed to be set.Copy !req
456. But you've never done anything
like this in the past.Copy !req
457. I see things differently now.Copy !req
458. - But what about the law?
Won't there be repercussions?Copy !req
459. I consider myself the authority
on what's best for Metropolis, don't you?Copy !req
460. That is not the boy I raised.Copy !req
461. Precious, come down here.Copy !req
462. Precious.Copy !req
463. Got her, ma'am.Copy !req
464. Now, you know, Persian Longhairs
really shouldn't be outdoors.Copy !req
465. Please, Precious didn't mean it.Copy !req
466. Oh, my beef isn't with the kitty.Copy !req
467. It really irks me when folks
don't take responsibility for the little things.Copy !req
468. Don't get me wrong,
I'm here to help.Copy !req
469. But every time I have to stop
and sweat the small stuff...Copy !req
470. it potentially keeps me
from attending to more urgent matters.Copy !req
471. Life-threatening matters.Copy !req
472. You may wanna think about that
next time you leave the screen door open.Copy !req
473. I will. I— I promise, thank you.Copy !req
474. The commissioner
would like a word with you, Superman.Copy !req
475. As I was just explaining to the lady,
I'm a little busy right now.Copy !req
476. We've been instructed
to escort you, if necessary.Copy !req
477. Really?Copy !req
478. - Son of a—!
- Watch the language.Copy !req
479. Solar boosters at maximum.Copy !req
480. Your metabolism
has spiked exponentially, Kal-El.Copy !req
481. We must continue your accelerated
absorption of yellow solar energy.Copy !req
482. Well, the prodigal son of Krypton.Copy !req
483. You've been acting a tad
out of character, wouldn't you say?Copy !req
484. Protecting Metropolis
is out of character?Copy !req
485. It is when you make the streets
run red with blood.Copy !req
486. I put you on Earth
to attend to my dirty work.Copy !req
487. Here.Copy !req
488. A hot list of LexCorp's competitors.Copy !req
489. All with motive to steal Superman's corpse
for scientific gain.Copy !req
490. Retrieve the body immediately...Copy !req
491. and discreetly.Copy !req
492. Remember,
I brought you into this world.Copy !req
493. I can take you out of it.Copy !req
494. That's what I said, right?Copy !req
495. Ladies.Copy !req
496. Mm, lead.Copy !req
497. Only one thing it could be hiding,
kryptonite.Copy !req
498. A safe Superman
means a safe Metropolis.Copy !req
499. Evening, Lex.Copy !req
500. Lois Lane.Copy !req
501. - How did you—?
- Get past security?Copy !req
502. It's what I do.Copy !req
503. Forgive the indelicacy, Lois,
but you look terrible.Copy !req
504. There's breaking news.Copy !req
505. Looks like you won, Lex.
You finally won.Copy !req
506. I'm not sure I know
what you're talking about.Copy !req
507. How'd you do it?Copy !req
508. How did you make Superman
your puppet?Copy !req
509. Really, Lois,
these insinuations of yours are—Copy !req
510. Relax. I don't plan on writing
any more exposés.Copy !req
511. I'm tired, quitting the Planet,
leaving Metropolis.Copy !req
512. But before I go,
I need to know how you did it.Copy !req
513. What you did to him...Copy !req
514. so I can move on with my life.Copy !req
515. You were more than friends.Copy !req
516. He was more than
your constant rescuer.Copy !req
517. You must be terribly lonesome
without him.Copy !req
518. Yes.Copy !req
519. Then you need someone
to take his place.Copy !req
520. Someone big and strong.Copy !req
521. We have 30 minutes,
we need to work fast.Copy !req
522. Don't forget your camera.Copy !req
523. You know, I'm supposed to be covering
a celebrity rave right now.Copy !req
524. Save it. We're here.Copy !req
525. Great. Retinal scanner.Copy !req
526. Now what?Copy !req
527. Ugh. Yummy.Copy !req
528. - A freaking circus sideshow.
Jimmy.Copy !req
529. Superman?Copy !req
530. Supermen.Copy !req
531. He's harvesting Supermen.Copy !req
532. So you were right.Copy !req
533. The Superman who returned...Copy !req
534. A clone. A fake.Copy !req
535. Which means
the real Superman really is...Copy !req
536. Yes, Jimmy.Copy !req
537. Dead. Just as you and Ms. Lane
are about to be.Copy !req
538. Because after all,
there is no Superman to save you.Copy !req
539. They are genetically bred
to do my bidding.Copy !req
540. Imagine, an army of Supermen
policing the skies of Metropolis.Copy !req
541. The world upholding the law of Luthor.Copy !req
542. Clearly, some fine-tuning is required.Copy !req
543. On the bright side,
I get to kill Superman after all.Copy !req
544. Oh, hell.Copy !req
545. Evil Supermen? Not on my watch.Copy !req
546. Aah!Copy !req
547. Evacuate the premises.Copy !req
548. Superman,
you've been a very, very bad boy.Copy !req
549. I might have to mess up
that pretty face of yours.Copy !req
550. That's it, come to papa.Copy !req
551. What's he doing?Copy !req
552. You're a menace to society, Luthor.
You won't be missed.Copy !req
553. Come on.Copy !req
554. An alert from Metropolis.Copy !req
555. The saga of Superman's return...Copy !req
556. just took another bizarre twist...Copy !req
557. as the Man of Steel allegedly adds
tech mogul Lex Luthor to his recent hit list.Copy !req
558. The president has declared
a state of emergency in Metropolis...Copy !req
559. and is considering military action.Copy !req
560. Army reserves are mobilizing,
but there is no telling...Copy !req
561. how Superman will respond
to a show of force.Copy !req
562. But, Kal-El,
you are only at 67 percent strength.Copy !req
563. It'll have to do.Copy !req
564. Kal-El, your double outmatches you.Copy !req
565. You will need a leading edge
to defeat him.Copy !req
566. Solar suit.Copy !req
567. To help absorb yellow sun rays
during my flight there.Copy !req
568. I had something
even more practical in mind.Copy !req
569. Luthor's kryptonite cannon?Copy !req
570. From the archives.Copy !req
571. The kryptonite is safely ensconced
in a lead-lined cartridge.Copy !req
572. Properly utilized,
it will weaken your opponent...Copy !req
573. and even the playing field.Copy !req
574. This is insane.
We can't kill Superman.Copy !req
575. You're right. We can't kill Superman.Copy !req
576. Dead men walking.Copy !req
577. Superman,
I have to ask you to step down.Copy !req
578. I don't think that
would be in the city's best interests.Copy !req
579. You leave us no choice.Copy !req
580. I'm only doing this because I care.Copy !req
581. Fall back, fall back!Copy !req
582. Lois?Copy !req
583. Look who's back.Copy !req
584. Who's the rocker?Copy !req
585. - You don't think...?
- I don't know.Copy !req
586. He's wearing Superman's shield.Copy !req
587. He's also wearing black.Copy !req
588. Great. Bad Superman
and badder Superman.Copy !req
589. Metropolis is doing just fine without you.Copy !req
590. I'm not sure I approve of your methods.Copy !req
591. I'm not asking for your approval.Copy !req
592. Get this straight, you're not needed here.Copy !req
593. Metropolis is under my protection,
now and forever.Copy !req
594. Over my dead body.Copy !req
595. Was that a kryptonite gun?Copy !req
596. Not very Superman-like.Copy !req
597. Come on.
Uh, I'll wait here.Copy !req
598. Oh, for God's sake, don't be such a girl.Copy !req
599. Whew.Copy !req
600. Aah!Copy !req
601. - Who's the man in black?
- Who cares?Copy !req
602. He's kicking Superman's ass.Copy !req
603. This is starting to look familiar.Copy !req
604. Yeah, only I'm in no mood
for another funeral.Copy !req
605. Whoa!Copy !req
606. You're out of shape.Copy !req
607. Do tell.Copy !req
608. Wow. That almost hurt.Copy !req
609. Look, why prolong this?Copy !req
610. I could keep this up all day, but you...Copy !req
611. Why not fly on out of here
while you still can?Copy !req
612. And leave the city in your hands?
Not likely.Copy !req
613. But don't you get it?Copy !req
614. I am you, Superman.Copy !req
615. A reflection of you
as you might have been.Copy !req
616. If I were raised by Luthor?Copy !req
617. If you were strong.Copy !req
618. You're self-righteous, misguided,
my reflection in a cracked mirror.Copy !req
619. Suit yourself.Copy !req
620. What happened to
"camera on the action"?Copy !req
621. The story's that way. Whoa!Copy !req
622. Now it is.Copy !req
623. I guess this time I'll need to see to it
that you stay dead.Copy !req
624. Now tell me, who's better equipped
to protect Metropolis?Copy !req
625. You have all my strengths...Copy !req
626. and my weaknesses.Copy !req
627. Pro—Copy !req
628. Protect...Copy !req
629. Protect the people.Copy !req
630. It's why I'm here.Copy !req
631. If you're a robot or another damn clone
or something, I swear to God...Copy !req
632. It's really me, Lois.Copy !req
633. I'm back.Copy !req
634. Like I haven't heard that before.Copy !req
635. I may need some proof.Copy !req
636. - Okay. I'm convinced.
- I'm glad.Copy !req
637. But I'm not sure
they'll ever trust me again.Copy !req
638. They will.Copy !req
639. It may take some time.Copy !req
640. Are you gonna wear
the red and blue suit again?Copy !req
641. Because I like that one better.Copy !req
642. Or not very much time at all.Copy !req
643. Mm. Do I smell coffee?Copy !req
644. Fresh pot. I'm almost done here.Copy !req
645. Mm...Copy !req
646. There's only one S in resurrection.Copy !req
647. Didn't realize proofreading
was one of your super-powers.Copy !req
648. Well, no.Copy !req
649. But I was the spelling-bee champ
of Smallville Elementary.Copy !req
650. Clark.Copy !req
651. Don't forget to call your mother.Copy !req
652. If history
has determined that gods can die...Copy !req
653. it has also proven
that they may return from the dead.Copy !req
654. It would seem you can't be destroyed
after all, Superman.Copy !req
655. It would seem.Copy !req
