Prologue:
It was a rainy night in Gotham. As ever a vigilant Batman was standing at the top of a building waiting to strike down any unfortunate criminal who crossed his path. His thoughts were drifting towards the recent tensions between JLA and Avengers though. "There are dark times ahead." He mused. He knew he was going to regret when he joined JLA several years ago although it wasn't made public. Suddenly the pained yell of someone broke his musings. He tensed and drove his thoughts to a corner of his brain, there was someone who needed his help. "Gotham first" he thought and glided down from the building to nearby alley.
There were two thugs with automatic guns pointing their guns to a family of three with the youngest one, a boy who was about ten years old crying on the street with a large gash on his forehead. Batman silently swore to make the thugs pay for what they had done to the boy.
"Drop your guns" came the warning from the shadows like the voice of a demon from the deepest parts of hell. The criminals froze in terror and looked around when a ghastly vision of Batman emerged from the shadows, looming over them like a spectre of vengeance. The criminals did what everyone of them do when confronted by Batman, they took the family hostage. "D-Don't come near, y-you freak. I'm g-gonna shoot, I swear. I'm gonna shoot all of them." One of them shouted.
Batman hesitated for a second, calculating the ways he could free the family without any harm. The criminals looked professional and had the three of them in a half-circle facing Batman while them being behind the family. "This is going to be close" he thought and sprang to the rescue...
...Only to fall face first to the street because of a strong wind which blew him away from the spot where he intended to land.
The wind came from a red-blue blur which came out of nowhere and concentrated on the spot where the criminals and the family were. "Flash" Batman cursed under his breath and stood up to see the family vanished and the criminals unconscious and tied with what appeared to be their own guns, only to be twisted around their arms and legs. "That can't be the flash" he thought only to be nearly startled by a voice.
"Whoa, you're real!"
Batman turned to the source of the voice only to see a tall, strongly built man staring at him with piercing blue eyes in what appeared to be blue armor with red boots and...a cape? That however was the least of his thoughts when he noticed that the man was hovering a few inches off the ground.
"Who are you?" He demanded in his "Batman" voice.
"I'm Cla—Kal-El. So, what can you do?"
