I know he's not just some playboy but my memories have been muddled since the stabbing. He looks a lot like Superboy does actually... is Bruce Wayne Superman?
Comparing the man against the many videos of Superman I've seen over my life, I start to find a shocking amount of similarities. Oh!
"Do I have something on my face?" Smirks the billionaire playfully as he pretends to wipe at the corner of his lip.
"Sorry Mister Wayne, you just reminded me of someone else." Shaking off the revelation, I ask for his request.
He hands me a newspaper headline from a few years ago and I realize what he wants. Superman and Batman both have a huge hand in shaping Dick Grayson's growth. Now I know why the alien had any involvement with him.
Superman adopted the boy just like the Waynes did to him. And Batman trained him as Gotham's protector, being better able to relate to the human abilities of his friend's son.
I use greater care on this piece than anything I've ever done before. And when I finish, the Flying Graysons are standing side by side with the late Waynes. Benefit of the family donating so much money. I had days to stare at their picture while I was recovering.
"I hope you don't mind Sir. But I wanted to take some artistic liberties with this one." I pretend not to notice the momentary shimmer in the man's eyes.
"I heard you're trying to get accepted by an art school?" Bruce smiles at me with one more genuine than the mask I saw him show the other billionaires. "Just tell me which one and I'll make sure they actually look at the application."
I'd make a joke about Glenn being so close but so far away but it's canonically shown multiple times that Clark and Bruce look eerily alike and have impersonated each other both in and out of costume several times so with half remembered info his thoughts make plenty of sense.
Plus I've got to give Glenn extra points to doing something artistic that involved the Waynes and the graysons that just bought him a lot of brownie points.
