Clark's eyebrows lifted slightly.
The diary had mentioned before that this title was given to him by Lois Lane. But at this moment, Clark didn't even know her.
Still, the name "Superman" had already spread widely among the public after his battle with General Zod.
As for where it originated, Clark wasn't sure. But many media outlets had already adopted the name.
In the end, the main reason was the "S" symbol on his chest.
Of course, it wasn't an English letter—it came from Kryptonian culture and meant "hope."
But people on Earth didn't know that.
Since Superman rose to fame, society had analyzed him from every angle, trying to uncover everything about him.
The "S" symbol became a major topic of debate.
Many believed it stood for "Super," and that Clark was a "superhuman."
The name fit him perfectly and quickly spread across the media.
And so, Superman was born.
Some even called him a "god among men," believing he was a divine protector sent to Earth.
Clark's popularity had reached unprecedented levels, with countless fans worshipping him.
To be honest, he still wasn't used to it.
"I was careless."
Clark soon frowned in regret.
Back when he fought General Zod, he had focused only on defeating him and hadn't considered the destruction caused to the city.
Even now, if the diary hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have realized it was a problem.
And to think that this incident planted the seed of distrust in Batman's heart…
So that was the root of their future conflict?
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Someone like Batman wouldn't act without reason.
If there hadn't been misunderstanding or dissatisfaction, how could Lex Luthor have manipulated him so easily?
"This really is a problem."
Clark began reflecting.
From now on, he would need to minimize collateral damage—or avoid it entirely.
"Will I bleed?"
Clark froze slightly at that question.
He had never thought about it before—because he had never bled.
With his current body, no weapon on Earth could break his skin.
Even someone like Batman shouldn't be able to…
Clark suddenly stopped that thought.
Because the diary clearly said:
Batman almost killed him.
So… Batman really made him bleed?
Batman has a superpower?
Clark was surprised.
He had always believed Batman was just an ordinary human.
Even public opinion agreed.
Batman relied on technology and intelligence—not superpowers.
Yet now, it seemed he did have one.
Curious, Clark kept reading—
…and the corner of his mouth twitched.
His "superpower" was money.
So it was just a joke.
Still…
Given the wealth of Wayne Enterprises, calling it a superpower wasn't entirely wrong.
After all, money allowed Batman to create all his advanced equipment.
Clark's expression soon grew serious again.
His earlier guess was correct.
Batman really had made him bleed.
But how?
Clark couldn't think of anything on Earth capable of harming him.
And then—
Humans used nuclear weapons on him?
Why?
That meant humanity saw him as an enemy.
But the diary also said he was worshipped like a god.
So how did things turn out like this?
Clark desperately wanted answers.
Then one word caught his attention:
Kryptonite.
This was his only weakness.
It could completely strip him of his power.
So this was how Batman nearly killed him?
But what exactly was Kryptonite?
From the name, it clearly had something to do with Krypton.
Clark immediately decided to ask Jor-El later.
Then came the strangest part—
"Martha."
The diary said Batman spared him because of his mother's name.
Clark was confused.
How could a name matter so much?
Did "Martha" mean something special to Batman?
Then came another reveal:
Lois Lane saved both of them.
She stopped Superman from killing Batman—
and also stopped Batman from killing Superman.
Clark was stunned.
So they nearly killed each other?
Finally, another name appeared:
Steppenwolf.
A powerful enemy who nearly destroyed the Justice League.
If not for Lois Lane, Earth itself would have been doomed.
