Batman Vox Humana Issue #2.5 Page 20

Page 20

Superman (thinking to himself): My God! My eyes!

Superman reaches his hands up to his face.

Superman (thinking to himself): It hurts to look.

Superman pushes his thumbs into his eyes. Droplets of blood float away from his face.

Superman (thinking to himself): My God, it's full of stars!

Splash page. Superman is in the center of the page. All around him are strange stars and nebulous gasses, the shapes and angles of them are distorted in different ways, as if oddly shaped lenses and prisms had been placed on the page. There are hints of tentacles, horrid limbs, teeth, and eyes in the shapes.

Superman is flying through space.

Superman (thinking to himself): This has to be a trick. This can't be happening. Something has to be controlling them.

The background of space is getting stranger and more distorted.

Superman (thinking to himself): I can tell the Lanterns.

More strange backgrounds and more distortion of shapes and lines. Red shift behind Superman, blue shift in front.

Superman (thinking to himself): Where am I going? I have never flown this fast before.

Superman (thinking to himself): Dear God!

Superman takes off. Aquaman and Martian Manunter look to each other.

Aquaman: So, will he stand in our way?

Martian Manhunter (telepathically): He knows there is nothing he can do. He wants to fight, but he knows it will not be enough.

Martian Manhunter (telepathically): More than that, he wants to go home, as we all do.

Batman Vox Humana Issue #2.5 Page 16

Page 16

Aquaman kisses Superman, spiked tongue and all. Superman's eyes are wide and his pupils are dilated, he cannot believe what is happening and that he is helpless to stop it.

Aquaman ends the horrible kiss. Superman looks disgusted.

Aquaman: You can't stop it, Kal, and you can't fight me if I won't let you. Just turn away.

Aquaman: I will release you, but if you fight, back down you go.

Aquaman releases Superman. Superman staggers up, retching.

Superman looks a Martian Manhunter and then at Aquaman. Martian Manhunter presses a button, opening an airlock for Superman.

Aquaman: I will let you speak.

Superman: Why do you save them? Why do you save people? Aren't you human?

Aquaman reaches up to his face and pulls off his skin, revealing a fishman underneath. I am thinking something along the anglerfish, and his tongue is covered is a double row of sharp, pointy, hooked teeth in a V pattern.

Aquaman: No, I'm not. And I save people because when the old gods return, they have to eat something.

Aquaman: I do not want to see you die, Kal. I am truly your friend, and unlike those pretenders you hold so dear, I love you.

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): You wouldn't be doing it for nothing.

Aquaman: The gods of the first world can give you want you have always wanted. A home where you belong.

Aquaman: They can remake Krypton for you.

Martian Manhunter (still telepathically): They are giving me Mars.

Aquaman: All they want is to come home. All they want is what you want, a home of their own.

Page 13

Aquaman: This isn't your world. Never was and never will be. It's not even the human's world. It belongs to another people. Mine.

Aquaman: Did you ever wonder about what you would call the first world? With all your adventures, you probably never even gave it a thought.

Aquaman: It never ended. The gods simply left to explore the Bleed, and now they are returning.

Aquaman: My people were charged with taking care of this world for them and we do not need you to get in our way.

Aquaman: All I need from you is this. When they come, look away. There are an infinite number of people across the universe that will need saving.

Aquaman: Save them instead.

Aquaman: I don't talk to fish. I speak to the brain stem. I control it and willpower has nothing to do with it.

Aquaman: You know why you can't talk right now? Because I am preventing your brain from reaching your vocal cords and mouth.

Aquaman: You knw why you fell to the floor? Do you know what you just experienced? It was a heart attack.

Aquaman: You are weak as a kitten right now.

Aquaman: You should be glad, for without me, you would have never experienced it, Kryptonian.

Aquaman: I didn't want to have to do that, but I need you to listen.

Superman pimp slaps Aquaman. I would like this panel to mimic the one where Batman hits Superman.

Superman goes to beat the tar out of Aquaman, but finds he cannot move.

Aquaman: Having trouble, Kal?

Superman clutches his chest and falls to the floor.

Black Panel

Panel from Superman's perspective. He is on the ground, face up. Aquaman is leaning over him.

Aquaman: I don't think any of you ever really understood what I can do.

Batman Vox Humana Issue #2.5 Page 10

Page 10

Aquaman: And when you tried to help him and his fellow humans, he lashed out and tried to kill you.

Superman (shaking his head and with his hand in his hair): Well, I had said-

Martian Manhunter (interrupting) (speaking in Superman's mind): It doesn't matter what you said. He tried to kill you, like Luthor has continually tried to kill you.

Superman (businesslike): What are you getting at?

Aquaman: Maybe it's time you hung up the cape.

Aquaman: But you still haven't been. Your confrontation with Bruce demonstrates that. They still don't love you.

Aquaman comes close to Superman and places his hand on Superman's shoulder.

Aquaman: Kal, I know that Bruce has been your friend for a long time, but when he needed simple companionship, he didn't come to you.

Aquaman: He went to someone else.

Superman looks hurt and confused.

Aquaman: It wasn't a mistake. You're right. Bruce is only human and he will never be able to do what you can.

Superman: What? Okay, wait, what are you saying?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): He's reminding you that you aren't human.

Superman: You think I don't know that? You think I haven't worked hard to be accepted here?

Page 7

Superman: What did I say?

Aquaman: You reminded Mr. Wayne that he was only human. That there were things he would be never be able to do.

Superman: Yes, I did. It was a mistake, and how do you know what I said?

Aquaman: We were watching you, and it wasn't a mistake.

Superman: What?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): Please take the time to listen to him, Kal.

Martian Manhunter changes back to his Martian form.

Superman (puzzled): I thought Mr. Terrific and Red Tornado were on watch duty today.

Aquaman: We relieved them. I wanted a chance to talk to you.

Superman: What about?

Aquaman: About something you said today.

Martian Manhunter should now look like he did in New Frontier.

Martian Manhunter (shouting): Would you prefer this? Do you know why I go around looking like this? Do you?

Martian Manhunter: I do it because if people are laughing at you, they aren't scared of you!

Superman (shocked, like a deer in headlights): I'm sorry. Its...its just been a long day. I'm sorry, J'onn.

Aquaman walks in.

Batman Vox Humana Issue #2.5 Page 4

Page 4

Scene: Superman is walking into the observation deck. J'onn J'onnz is there in all his Martian glory (like the pre-human disguise Martian in New Frontier).

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): Hello Kal. I saw you come in. Are you well?

Superman: I'm fine, thank you.

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): You are bleeding.

Superman: I'm fine. Look...could you talk out loud, please?

Martian Manhunter (speaking in Superman's mind): I apologize. Speaking is uncomfortable for me. Would you rather I change my appearance too?

Scene: Superman opens the door to the restroom. There is a sink in his vision.

Superman (thinking to himself): Radiation poisoning and a busted lip.

Scene: Superman is washing his face.

Scene: Superman is looking at himself in the mirror, assessing the damage.

Superman (out loud and to the world around him): I'm his friend.

Scene: Superman is entering the airlock.

Superman (thinking to himself): I saved his city.

Location: Inside the Watchtower

Scene: J'onn J'onzz is watching Superman on the monitor entering the airlock. J'onn looks like his true, Martian form.

Scene: Superman is walking down the hall.

Superman (thinking to himself): This is the thanks I get.

Batman Vox Humana Issue #2.5 Page 1

Page 1

Location: Batcave

Scene: The same panel as page 18 of Part 2 (Floronic Man). Batman is walking away from the mouth of the Batcave. Alfred is standing there, looking at Batman with a disapproving look. Superman is on the ground, his face bloody, shouting at Batman.

Superman: You're only human!

The same panel again, only this time, Superman is gone.

Location: In the sky above the earth.

Scene: Superman is flying into the atmosphere.

Superman (thinking to himself): Only human. Is that what I think?
