Clark Kent is NOT Superman, but his twin brother is!AU.
Okay, with a heavy heart, I'm ready to admit that I'm giving up.
I've been playing with the idea of Super Twins for the past few days, and I think it's just for one scene.
Just... Imagine Bruce finally deciding that it's time to meet Superman in person, because Superman has invaded Gotham a couple of times (just flying over it, lol) and Bruce really doesn't like it.
This guy's doing an investigation and... Is he wrong? You know, like, he was really, really close to coming to Clay Kent's farm in Kansas. But Jimmy Olsen was so generous and tweeted dozens of times about how much his colleague looked like Superman. So... Bruce also fell into the trap of "Clark Kent looks SO much like Superman" (Poor Clark, someone help the guy, or better yet, kick Clay's ass).
So one evening, Batman just shows up at Clark's apartment and literally:
Bats: I know who you are, Clark Kent.
Clark: Seriously, I'm not him. Really.
And they both just stand there awkwardly, staring at each other, because DAMN IT, BATMAN IS IN MY APARTMENT, AND DAMN IT, HE'S NOT LIEING, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!!
And then Clay lands on the balcony in his Superman costume, saying, "Bro, you won't believe what I did a couple of minutes ago!"
And it gets worse and worse, lol.
I know it's illogical and it's unlikely that Bat would make such a mistake. BUT! When I came up with this AU, I was inspired by Batman 2022 and Superman 2025. And. Well. It makes sense with them, lol.
