#he's outside and upsidedown being carried from his ankle by a very exasperated Superman

[sisaloofafump]

The funniest missed chance DC could have taken during the whole Clark Kent Reveals He Is Superman time was him having a very public friendship with Bruce Wayne. Because people already know that Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne are friends, but Superman and Bruce Wayne?? Now that's funny.

Give me Bruce declaring that of course he always knew who Clark/Superman was. Give me a Bruce vs Batman rivalry over the title of Superman's Best Friend. Have that explain why Superman's always rescuing Bruce instead of Batman.

Give me Bruce constantly trying to wear down the Superman persona in public because it's not like that mask is really needed. Give me Bruce pulling stupid dramatic stunts knowing that Superman is going to save him. Give me Bruce doing anything to mess with him, leaving bystanders wondering "what do they see in each other" but the answer can only be that Superman is way more laid back than assumed because Bruce Wayne is increasingly less sincere the moment they're together.

Give me Bruce using Clark to fly him to work (he'll love it so long as he's not Batman at the moment) and when Clark gets too fed up with the ridiculous flying positions Bruce wants, give me Bruce bribing Jon to take him instead.

Give me Bruce immediately cutting the crap out at one glare from Lois Lane.

Give me Lois Lane actively encouraging him behind Clark's back.

Give me a deeply conflicted Clark who's trying not to murder Bruce at every opportunity but also cherishes their time together and recognizes the ease it provides them to exchange information and materials. Give me Clark trying so hard to keep his composure and "pleasure to see you again, Mr. Wayne" his way through situations while Bruce is loudly inviting his whole family over to dinner and gossiping about the latest personal news. Give me Clark reminding himself constantly that this is Batman, and he will do something amazing soon, he just needs patience (and to yell at him a little), but also this isn't Batman right now and he can't get into a fight with a civilian.

Just... give me public Superman and Bruce Wayne interactions.
