I know the world, D. Not yours. But I know how disgusting the gutters get. I know the sickness that fell over Gotham--hell, over the world. Bruce, we don't agree on a lot of shit, but.
( a deep breath in, a slow breath out. )
I was part of the contagion that infected Gotham, long before I was Robin. Hell, when I was Robin. The kids on those streets, and I know you wouldn't, but the people out there? That think overtaking the world is the better option, that forcing their rules will solve everything--
It won't. Sooner or later the people would grow to forget fear of the massive bulk of Kryptonian ruling over them. Soon they'd rise up because like hell is humanity accepting rule by fucking anyone. Our government is a piece of shit, but at least people think they can fight it. A Kryptonian, D? The power of whatever Leaguers you had backing you? You? Fuck that.
The street kids, we don't fucking know fear. A bug guy with an S goes around talking peace and I guarantee they'll be among the first to fight him. and if Kal's that deep into it, do you think he's gonna stop at taking down innocents who get in his way? Let alone street scum. How many Leaguers did he take down, D? How many, aside from Bats, fought him tooth and nail?
How many died, fighting for humanity, in opposition of Kal's beliefs? You said you had the Lanterns backing you, what about GA? Roy? Canary? ( those three would fuck shit up in the name of freedom, ollie isn't quiet about his stance on anything. he hates oppressors more than anything. ) BG, BW--what do you do with the heroes who don't agree with your stance on shit, D?
What would he do, if I stood against him. Guy could kill me in a moment. Superman only works as hero if he stays impartial. Guys like that who get opinions, they become monsters instead.
